Description
Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, with Pros – Ep. 16: Indian Wells w/ Matteo Jorgenson
📍 Indian Wells, CA | 🎙️ Featuring: Matteo Jorgenson
Hailing from Boise, Idaho, Matteo Jorgenson is America’s top-ranked professional cyclist and a rising star in the WorldTour. With breakout performances at Paris-Nice, the Tour de France, and major wins around the globe, Matteo is known for being both tactical and tenacious.
In this episode, we tackle nearly 4,000 feet of climbing in under 12 miles on fixed-gear bikes with a front brake, meme references, and just enough bad decision-making to keep things interesting. Topics include:
-Power zones & training philosophies
-Dolphin-inspired helmet design (yes, really)
-The truth about French street crepes
-Olympic burnout, mental health, and descending in JNCOs
About the Series:
Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, With Pros strips away the luxury of the pro peloton and puts riders on fixed-gear bikes to talk life, racing, and why we all suffer for fun.
