Open Mic with Mike Creed - Ep 19 Levi Leipheimer - a podcast by Cyclismas

THIS EPISODE Mike joins Levi Leipheimer for dinner and discussion in Santa Rosa, and we're treated to a rare, frank conversation with one of the most-sought-after interviews in cycling. In between tasty bites at a sidewalk café, Levi shares some honest perspective with Mike about his seventeen-year career as a racer, being a controversial figure in the sport, and a his life as a passionate advocate for cycling and bike racing. He and Mike compare notes on retirement, what they miss and don't miss, how the bike is still a magical thing, and what the future holds in store for them both. Oh, and Levi calls Mike "such a dick" as they dish on race announcers and how hard it is to commentate a race, and they reminisce on how unhealthy it was to be a pro living in Girona back in the day. Good times.
