It was really special for me to chat with Isabella, because she has been working already a few years into what I’m trying to change and implement in my own environmental journey. So I’ve learned a lot from her and I hope you will to! 

This episode is presented by The Unscented Company.

On this episode, Maghalie chats with Erik Bronsvoort and Sandra Brandt of the non-profit organization Shift Cycling Culture. Shift Cycling Culture works within the cycling industry to take action on climate change collectively. 

This discussion brought me hope! 

We talk about greenwashing and the general fear of speaking about sustainability. Eric explains the difference between linear and circular economy, and the new challenges that come with designing products with circular economy in mind. Plus, how to balance technological advancements with sustainability.  We discuss our role as costumers to demand more sustainable practices in the industry, and Sandra shares some of the cool things and exciting innovations they are seeing.

-----------------

On this episode, Maghalie chats with Isabella Burczak, who is the "Cycling for All & Sustainability Manager” at the UCI. 

The UCI, which is the International governing body in cycling, has the potential to be a key player in making cycling a more sustainable sport, because they are the ones making the rules on events, teams, calendar, technological advancements, and more. In fact, it is their goal to make cycling the more sustainable sport in the World. In this conversation, Maghalie asks about what are the key things the UCI is working on to make this goal happen and what are the biggest challenges they are facing. 

We also hear from Canadian pro aerial skier Marion Thenault on how she worked with the Canadian round of the ski World Cup to make it a sustainable and carbon neutral event!

-----------------

Ep. 2 — Now that Maghalie knows how impactful her season of racing is on the environment, she has to know what to do with the results. Maghalie speaks with Nathalie Knowles, a PHD in Climate Change who works at Protect Our Winters. Together, they discuss: Can offsetting carbon emissions really make a difference? What is the difference between offsetting and in-setting? Nathalie gives advice on sustainable tourism, and finally, we tackle a hard question: Is performance compatible with sustainability? 

------------------------

Ep. 1 — What is the environmental footprint of a cyclist for a full season of racing? How do you calculate the emissions from travels and equipment consumption? And what can we do to reduce this impact? On this episode, Maghalie gets help from a fellow Canadian athlete (ski jumper Marion Thenault) to understand how to calculate her travelling footprint, and speaks with an environmental expert at Canyon to understand what is the impact of the her cycling equipment consumption. 

We discuss the preparation, the mindset leading up to it, what we eat, the logistics, the pre-rides... we talk about how Canada is becoming a cyclocross nation with all the young athletes coming up, we discuss the post-race party at the Apollo Disco, and how much we love the sport and community!

Finally, we talk about the race and how both of us feel after this season.

Thanks for listening all year!

In the snippets, we get to know a new team on the block!

We visit a Wisky and Gin distillery, taste the famous Haggis, and enjoy one of the most beautiful ride of our lives. We discuss if gravel or MTB was ideal for this route? How we fuelled during the trip, and our best moments and highlights of the adventure.

We also discuss the ins and outs of the route: was the adventure to speed ratio good enough? Would we do anything differently? What did we learn throughout the trip?

These 4 days of riding were my highlight of the YEAR so far. We hope you enjoy the conversation and that it makes you dream of your next adventure.

At 16 years old, Genevieve Jeanson was a great cyclist with big dreams. Unfortunately, at that young age, she was pulled into a situation that transformed her life. Doping, abuse, and violence became her reality. She won many races, but eventually, she felt like she was living in a nightmare that she needed to escape, and failing a doping test was, in her own words, "the best thing that could have happened to her" at that time.

15 years later, Genevieve is a strong and inspiring woman. She has overcome obstacles most of us could never imagine living. Genevieve is back riding and racing her bike, tackling gravel events and big adventures, and she's never been happier.

In this episode, Genevieve opens up about how she dealt with the hard experiences of her life, how she bounced back, and how she found her love for cycling all over again. Genevieve is now dedicated to sharing her story She also in order to help other young athletes that may face similar challenges.

This episode is on Focus. Focus is represented by green on the kit…

To deconstruct the emotion of "focus", we discuss with professional Enduro racer and former Downhill World Champion Miranda Miller. Miranda LOVES speed. It is what makes her feel alive. At the speeds at which she rides her bike down mountains, she has to be extremely focused...but how? And, it's one thing to be focused, but focusing on the RIGHT thing at the RIGHT moment is another ask...so what does she focus on? Can we train our ability to focus?

We’ll dig into all that, and way more with Miranda Miller.

The first episode is on the emotion of Happiness. This emotion is represented by yellow on the kit…because yellow always makes me smile. It is, to me a joyful color. 

So who better to talk about fun and happiness than professional off road racer Sarah Sturm? Sarah is a gravel and off road athlete, as well as a very creative person. Her smile can be seen from miles away, and she has one of the most contagious positive energy. This summer, Sarah started a campaign called : “It’s supposed to be fun” where she encourages people to go back to the root of what they love about cycling, and make sure to connect with that. 

Can fun and performance coexist? Does everything always have to be fun? 

We’ll dig into that, and way more.

Maghalie and David were not racing this weekend. So we take this opportunity to answer YOUR questions that were sent by the audience.

Some of the questions we received and discuss upon include: Is cyclocross the best "school" of cycling? Do we fuel in a cyclocross race? Will Maghalie be racing mountain bike in 2023? What from the North American CX scene would we like to see in Europe and vice versa? And more...

Maghalie and David talk about their first experience racing the iconic Zonhoven course. We talk about the rise of the Junior Canadian women to the top of the Nations ranking. We discuss the ins and outs of racing in the sand. Could a dropper post be good at Zonhoven?

About half of the population is female. Yet, most research on health and performance are done on men, in part because it’s easier to compare since their hormones pattern are always the same. But women are not small men and the menstrual cycle is something that is part of our lives. I believe there can be a tremendous performance and health advantage in knowing how to work WITH our physiology.

Menstruation is something that is not often talked about, but I believe we should not be ashamed of it and that it needs to be talked about. In this series, follow along on Maghalie's journey as she tries to learn more about the menstrual cycle.

We answer these questions with Brand Content Specialist at SRAM, Nate Newton. Additionally, we also talk about the importance of knowing companies' goals and adapt our content accordingly. We talk about the importance of racing, but also why racing content is not the only valuable thing anymore...and much more.

What is the difference between influencers, ambassadors, and sponsored athletes? And are they all competing for the same sponsorship money? Should we provide free publicity on social media to companies who we are not paid by? By doing that, are we doing a disservice to our peers who are trying to make a living by representing companies? How important is it to have a big following? On that episode, we cover all these topics, and much more, with Social Media Specialist Jeff, from Specialized.

Avec sa compagnie Gestev, Patrice a organisé des événements sportifs (entre autre le Vélirium, la Coupe du Monde de vélo de montagne au Mont St-Anne, le RedBull Crashed Ice, etc.) d'envergure mondiale qui ont su changer la popularité de plusieurs disciplines sportives. On parle donc beaucoup de la business dans le monde de l'événementiel et de comment un passionné de vélo a su bâtir une entreprise fructueuse (Gestev) qui a été acheté en 2013 par Quebecor.
