Description

It's birthday week for host Tom Butler, and he is gearing up for another year of adventure! Join Tom as he reflects on the transformation cycling has provided for him over the last year as he gets ready for a new ride to celebrate another year.

Tom also contemplates a once-a-year opportunity to cycle one of the most scenic highways in the U.S. – car-free! The challenge will be big but also will be the opportunity to prepare for this season’s challenge to bike across Washington State. 

Tom welcomes Garren Miler, the official mechanical engineer of Cycling Over Sixty, for a technical discussion about bike frame materials. Steel, aluminum, carbon fiber – what's the best choice? Tom revisits his decision to go carbon fiber and, with Garren's expert insights, evaluates the trade-offs and benefits of different materials.

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting your journey on two wheels, this episode offers a perfect blend of reflection, inspiration, and technical knowledge. Tune in and discover what lies ahead for Tom and Cycling Over Sixty, and get ready to celebrate life, adventure, and the freedom of the open road!
