  AI for Chumps?

  Aug 15, 20261h 1mS4

  This week the Chumps talk about the AI coaching app boom we have been seeing, especially with Wahoo's recent update of their app and partnership with Coros. Do chumps need this kind of AI training program, and does it replace a real coach? Chad and I give you the low down. We also have a brief recap of the Tour de France Femmes, and a take on a controversial moment in that race that maybe you haven't heard elsewhere. Chad closes out the show with an exciting factoid/Velo Chumps consultancy business proposition!

  Watch the Femmes!

  Aug 8, 20261h 6mS4

  This week we briefly talk close out the men's Tour de France, and then we talk all about the Tour de France Femmes. We discuss the riders and team, and also how the course itself leads to fantastic racing. Either way, it's a super exciting race and you should be watching. Chad closes us out with a PSA in lieu of a factoid this week, so listen to the end for that!

  The Tour is Over! Long Live the Tour!

  Jul 16, 20261h 4mS4

  The Yellow Jersey competition at the Tour de France has come to a close, even though we are only halfway through the race. The Chumps tell you why you should keep watching anyway! We also discuss some exciting news out of the Women's peloton and why you will want to keep an eye on some those races. Chad has a tech tidbit, and we finish with a Tour related listener factoid!

  The Tour is Back and it's Still not the Bike!

  Jul 9, 20261h 11mS4

  As promised, the Chumps give you a chump breakdown of the Tour de France so far. We did have to come back and add an edit in because things changed dramatically between the time we recorded and the time we could edit and publish. Then we talk about the White Paper Specialized released along side their new Tarmac SL9. It sounds impressive when you read it, but we tell you why it doesn't really say what Specialized thinks it does. That then leads us into the SL9 related factoid to close out the show.

  Mechanical Shifting and the Tour

  Jul 2, 20261h 5mS4

  This week the Chumps talk about some new mechanical group sets and the upcoming Tour de France. Of course they are separate topics - no one will use mechanical shifting at the Tour, but that doesn't mean Chumps should not have mechanical options! Eric has another PSA related to a bike that came through his garage, and we end with an exceptional listener factoid.
