  • Summary

  • This Cycling Odysseys Podcast is an attempt to go back to when Cycling was King, the most popular sport in Europe.  This was accomplished in the first half of the 20th Century by newspapers and journalists who created vivid narrative accounts of the epic races and transformed the sport's greatest champions into legends. This podcast will try to channel cycling's epic and romantic traditions which seem to have been marginalized or lost in recent decades.

Ah! But surely no reasonable limits can bound Titans when they Clash in the Second Golden Age of Cycling."

    "There was no way to lay back in the armchair at ease, most viewing must have been bolt upright with every muscle tensed. It was a beautiful moment where the primal senses and instincts of Man were fused with modern gamesmanship and technology in the heat of a cunning competition that was as epic as any quest or gladiatorial melee of forgotten yore. (An Author’s Note: Why, O! Why, can’t such stakes ever be felt at Average Amstel?). "
