In July 2017, a group of American cyclists made a trip to Aguascalientes, Mexico to set a whole bunch of US and World records. In all, 7 athletes took down 15 US and 7 World Records. I have a feeling today’s guest was the organizational conduit that made the trip happen. We welcome back, Rob Van Houweling and we are glad also to welcome Kevin Metcalfe.

For Videos of the attempts you can find Rob's youtube channel by searching for Wheelsout. Kevin Metcalfe's blog about his experience is at kevinmetcalfe.dreamhoster.com .
Prequel for upcoming show with Rob Van Houweling and Kevin Metcalfe. A little backstory of the Thomas Dekker Hour Record attempt.

From Warwickshire, UK we welcome back James Webb .

James is in the process of creating a device that will offer the home user the chance to do their own “on the bike” aero testing more efficiently . You can get full picture of what James is trying to accomplish at the new website, redisfaster.co.uk.

In "celebration" of 100 episodes, we are launching part one of the Time Trial Essential Series. These shows will pull knowledge learned from many different guests on any given topic. It eases the stress of getting guests coordinated and hopefully adds some value to the run of the show. Please let me know your thoughts on this idea at cyclingtimetrialpodcast@gmail.com or @markflorence11 on twitter.
Thanks to all who have listened and a special thanks to those who have taken the time to share your knowledge as guests. You have all done your part to make many of us a little faster by agreeing to be interviewed and it is much appreciated.

Joe is the author of three books and hosts a regular multisport podcast, jbst.com. You can learn more by visiting his website, http://www.coachjoebeer.com/. Welcome back Coach Joe Beer!
We had a very positive reaction to Joe’s first appearance when we chatted about the white paper on the jbst.com website which talked about Smarter Training and the importance of keeping the majority of your training rides at an “easy” level. You can check out episode #92 for more information on that. I like to take ideas from listeners and one suggestion that been requested and in fact re-requested is to chat about the relationship between triathlon and time trialists. I want to especially thank James Thomas for his most recent TT-tri podcast suggestion. After Joe’s first appearance I could not think of a better person to chat about this. Joe of course is a multi sport coach and in fact has himself completed five Ironman distance events.

Chris Case is the Managing Editor of VeloNews Magazine. Chris wrote an article in the August 2015 issue of VeloNews entitled “Cycling To Extremes”.

The article has turned into a new book called “The Haywire Heart”. Chris and Lennard joined us for a couple of podcasts based on the article and I would direct you to check out podcast episodes #69 and #70, as it will serve as good background for today’s show. Welcome Chris Case and Lennard Zinn.
