To talk about CTS I brought in a couple experts. Andrea Roelofs has participated in the Central Texas Lowdown the first 2 years. And Javian Quinones has participated in the East Texas Slowdown and came in 5th place this last year at the Central Texas Showdown. I'm stoked to have both of them in the studio to share their experiences and expertise. It was great to get both perspectives from the competitive and non-competitive fields as both are an important component to the CTS experience. Listen to today's episode. Get stoked. And join us in 60 days for the 3rd Central Texas Showdown in the Texas Hill Country. \"The Hills are Calling\" EPISODE LINKS TxORA: https://www.txora.org/ TxORA Hill Country Relief Fund: https://www.txora.org/floodresponse RYDB Fest: https://www.ozarkgravelcyclists.com/rydb-fest Central Texas Showdown: https://texasshowdownseries.com/central-texas-showdown/ NEW PATRONS Chuck Willox Join them won't you? www.patreon.com/bikesordeath","meta_description":"We're 60 days out from the 3rd annual Central Texas Showdown grand depart, so let's talk about it!
