Welcome to King of the Ride podcast, hosted by Ted King. A professional road cyclist turned gravel racer... err, rider? I still have that competitive bug now 20+ years into my professional racing career, but poking around the overarching cycling community is what piques my interest. Slinging maple syrup (hello UnTapped !), leading rides, hosting camps, and just enjoying life on two wheels, I have the chance to chat with athletes, entrepreneurs, and all walks of life who love the bicycle. Hop on…

With recent victory at the Colorado Trail Race, Alex McCormack generously lent us his time so we could pick his brain all about his recent entry and huge success in all kinds of ultra adventures. From Atlas Mountain to Hellenic Mountain to the lack of mountains at the Unbound XL or to the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Trail Race, Alex is on a mission. His exploits and what it takes to find…
When Ryan Cochran-Siegle came home with his second Olympic medal in as many Olympic games and Ben Ogden earned two silver medals at Milan this winter, I knew I wanted to pick their brains. Better yet, Ian Boswell is friend and located nearby in Vermont, so we decided to have four pro athletes enjoy a conversation talking with each other, learning from another, learning about each others' sports,…
Noah Dines is the world record holder of most human powered vertical feet of skiing in a year. At more than 3.5 million feet skied, that's 124 times up Mount Everest from sea level, that's more than a the Tour de France if it were raced for the entire year rather than just three weeks, that's probably a whole lot more than you! Noah is a Vermonter, a skier, a biker, and a general athlete. This…
Roger Brown is the most frequented guest on King of the Ride podcast and HE'S BACK! With 5 episodes prior to this one, covering the thousand-plus miles he's ridden across the Flint Hills, what Roger lacks in training he makes up for with ignorance and enthusiasm. Here in 2026, however, it's not just Roger, but he's riding and podcasting with his wife Jenny who took on her first 200 miles of…
Taylor Phinney, once one of the biggest names in American cycling is back! In this wide-ranging conversation, Ted and Taylor reconnect in Monterey, CA at Sea Otter shortly after Taylor’s announcement of a return to cycling with eyes on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Recorded in two parts; part one in the chaos (and comedy) of a busy Sea Otter afternoon and a second via Zoom ahead of gravel’s Holy…
Today’s guest is cyclist and business owner Jenna Rinehart. Her career is one of many chapters and she's still at the front of the pack, currently leading the Life Time Grand Prix wildcard standings. What makes Jenna especially unique is that she balances elite racing with ownership of a bike shop in her hometown of Minnesota. We talk about that juggling act, her early success in mountain biking,…
I wish I were neighbors with Matej Mohoric because I'd like nothing more than to hang out and talk bikes, talk not about bikes, just be able to share stories and insight with him. Heck, when we hung out last week, he showed me his videos of kids, talked about raising a family while in the World Tour as much as we talked about aerodynamic watt savings. I love it. On the eve of Paris-Roubaix 2026, I…
It's Holy Week here in northern Europe and that means we're smack between Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. A few days out from Roubaix, I thought it would be a great time to launch this episode with George Hincapie as he talks his way through the history of the upstart American pro team, Modern Adventure Pro Cycling. You've likely seen their eye catching kits, you've seen them headed out in the…
A recent World Tour retiree, Michael Woods is taking a stab at a whole variety of endurance sports. This Tour de France stage winner just took on "the Tour de France of ski-mo", has aspirations to race Ironman, has a sub-4 minute mile to his name, and still dabbles in bike riding... fairly often. There's a whole lot more than endurance sports to Mike's life, gear up because this is a great one.…
Cam Jones is on a tear. As the reigning Unbound champion and taking top honors at the Life Time Grand Prix in 2025, he's a man on a mission. This conversation comes at the tail end of Cam's summer back home in New Zealand, on the verge of his upcoming trip to North America to kickoff the 2026 campaign. Cam's story is one of perseverance. It's not easy to make the trip from the other side of the…
