The Unofficial Unsanctioned Women’s UCI Cycling Show: Podcast 2013, Episode 17 - No Liability Accepted In Any Jurisdiction
This week on our women’s cycling podcast, Dan and I interviewed Kathryn Bertine about her women’s cycling documentary, Half The Road. Dan explains:
Ok team, it’s another big week in podcast HQ. First off the wonderful Kathryn Bertine drops by to talk all things documentarian, cycling, Olympics and general awesome with us. Personal favourites are when she talks about some of the work she’s been doing in St Kitts and Nevis to help provide opportunities for young aspiring cyclists to get support, training and equipment; and also later when I put her on the spot by asking if all this experience in actually doing something that helps cycling might mean she’d be interested in taking a run at the UCI Presidency. In addition to Kathryn, we cover the Philly Classic race and Durango-Durango before peeking ahead at the start of the Emakumeen Bira. And what podcast is complete without a proper rant? So I (Dan) go on a bit of spree about how I don’t care how good Cookson is, he’s still not different enough to McQuaid. Of course it sounds better with all the swearwords left in so you should click below to listen to it in all its glory! (1:23:09 MIN / 79.82 MB)

Highlights of Tour de Flandres & Fleche Wallonne - Rounds 3 & 4 of 2013 Women’s World Cup (by ucichannel)
"
“Mountain bike is more freestyle, it’s more relaxed, and more individual. If you’re good and have no technical problems you finish in front. On the road, you play tactics and you’re in a team. With these tactics it’s not always the best who wins, and then you have this tension around the races all the time that you don’t have in mountain bike.
“In mountain biking it’s just racing, you get in your rhythm and you’re good. It’s a nice world. Especially here in America, it’s a good atmosphere. I wanted to come here for the Sea Otter Classic - it didn’t matter it was right after Flèche Wallonne and that I have a race next week. It might not be the perfect preparation and I might mess up one of these races, but I don’t care. Of course, I want to do good, but if I don’t feel well in one of these races then there’s the next race.”
