A Kind of Start

Sat, 26 Aug 2023 15:15:13 GMT

This Week in Cycling History was a show on now defunct Velocast feed. This archive feed will eventually contain all of the episodes of the show. Scott O'Raw, half of The Velocast appears on episodes from time to time but the two main hosts are Cillian Kelly, now of GCN, and John Galloway, now retired. We hope you enjoy the shows. Their focus on history means they should be timeless. This first episode was a nightmare to record but we had to get something out.
