Listen to George Thomas talk with Todd Carver of Retul and Dirk Friel of Training Peaks. Todd is one of the top bicycle fit experts in the business. Dirk is the Founder and Chief Evangelist of Training Peaks. Topic for discussion - how bike fit improves performance.

I remember when I had one skort to wear and one pair of shorts that I bought on sale. The shorts were a perfect fit. Except when I had to take them off. And then I had to wiggle them over my hips. 13 years ago I feel like there weren’t many choices for women when it came to buying bike clothes. Well those days are over and Club Ride is a big part of what makes it so fun to get dressed to ride your bike. I recently tested the Club Ride Rale Jeans and the Cross-Wind Jacket. Now if you’re like me if you hear the word “jeans” and mountain biking well those two don’t quite seem to go together.
