OC 09 // Emerson Oronte #OpportunitytoReframe

My guest today, Emerson Oronte of the Rally Cycling team, won the 2014 U.S. Amateur National Championship Road Race and the 2015 San Dimas Stage Race. He’s been racing at an elite level since 2011. But our conversation isn’t so much about the bike. In this episode, the conversation begins with a discussion of the work he did to prepare for the 2020 season. We then talk about the cultural differences that American athletes face when training and competing in Europe. We also discuss the pandemic and the way that Emerson is reframing this time, choosing to focus on his gratitude for being able to be outside and for broadening his horizons and developing new skills and hobbies. Let’s get Off Course.

OC 11 // Sarah Sturm and Emily Schaldach #funisfast #singlespeed

Sharing stories of faceplants, McD's post race stops, costumes and start line dance parties, Sarah Sturm and Emily Schaldach take us into the details of their singlespeed cyclocross battles from 2019. In the process, they shed some light on what drives them to race and how they deal with the nerves of racing and balancing the results and the fun.

Both Emily and Sarah honed their cycling craft in Durango, CO amidst the beautiful trails and amazing athletes found there. They talk about collegiate cycling, singlespeed racing and the dichotomy of racing big races to win, while in the midst of a gigantic party.

They also share who their role models and mentors have been in the sport and reassure us that its ok to be serious about your sport, but not take your racing too seriously.

Give a listen to two women who exemplify what cyclocross is in the States and are bad ass role models for every aspiring or veteran racer.
