Episode 1: Bigger Than the Sport (Apparently)

Episode one of Against The Clock sets the tone for what this podcast is really about. Kent Main and Ryan Gibbons unpack why this podcast took a while to happen, why they finally decided to press record, and why they’re okay knowing not everyone will agree with their opinions. This episode is about perspective — earned through years in the sport — and the belief that honest conversation still has value in cycling. They break down what EVER RYDE is and why Ryan started it, dive into the origins of the Fly Cool Collective Cycling Team, and touch on a few of the sponsors backing the team heading into 2026. There’s also a frank discussion about the current level of South African racing — what’s working, what’s not, and where it could go. The conversation drifts into cycling culture and history, including the legendary “Triple Crown” title once recognised in South African racing, as well as modern-day realities like cycling safety, ride etiquette, Strava KOM hunting, and the fine line between competition and common sense. There are inside jokes, slightly self-aware moments about being “bigger than the sport,” a few beers mentioned along the way, and plenty of opinions — some important, some not — shared openly and without polish. No scripts. No posturing. Just two mates talking cycling the way it’s actually talked about after a ride. This is Against The Clock. Episode one.
