Christian Vande Velde - Passions, Cycling & Figuring It Out Along The Way

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two, husband, former
pro cyclist, finisher of 18 Grad Tours, Peloton guest instructor
and NBC analyst for cycling, Christian Vande Velde! 


We had a great time talking with Christian in what has shaped up
to be a very odd summer for him. Normally Christian would be in
France right now covering the Tour de France, but Covid has
certainly impacted that. We covered a lot in this episode. From
being the son of a professional cyclist, to his years as a pro
rider and how that changed once he became a dad, to retirement
from the sport and becoming an analyst for NBC and so much more.
And for the cycling fans out there, don’t worry we also talk
about some of his favorite memories on the bike, his relationship
with Paul Sherwin, and other great stuff. 


But VDV’s Today’s Dad definition set the episode off on a great
foot. He talks about how a Today’s Dad is really making it up as
they go. How they are constantly evolving and how his kids make
him a better person. 


A big thanks to Christian for joining us on the pod this week! We
know you all will enjoy this one!
