G!RO Podcast
Grab a coffee, grab a beer and listen in as we delve long form into all things Cycling, Coffee and Community! G!RO Cycles is a Cafe in Esher UK. Doors always open so stop in and grab a brew.
"For us, the first aspect is for these girls to build their self-esteem, believe in themselves, believe they can change this world, believe they can be mentors & examples to other young girls."
Since opening G!RO in 2013, we've had the pleasure of meeting some amazing and brilliant people. Miiro Michael of Masaka Cycling Club is quite honestly one of the most inspiring people we have met & it was an absolute pleasure to speak with him on this podcast.
Having suffered with Polio as a child, leaving him with disability, Miiro has had to overcome challenges and adversity throughout his life, and is now a Human Rights activist based in Masaka, Uganda. Seeing the potential and power of cycling, he set up Masaka Cycling Club with the simple goal to see men, women, boys and girls of all ages and all abilities, build their self esteem & allow hope in their lives where previously there had been none.
As well as nurturing the next generation of professional cyclists, Miiro's passion is to see cycling break down social barriers of disability, women's rights, gender based violence & education in Uganda - one bike ride at a time! Miiro is an incredibly inspiring man, and we were honoured to spend some time with him on this podcast.
April sees G!RO launch its Communities Building Communities campaign, where we set out the goal of increasing monthly donations to Masaka Cycling Club. More information on that to follow, but this podcast serves as the perfect starting point to understand and see the work being done there in Masaka. Be sure to check out the previous Masaka podcasts with Ross Burrage & Michael Delagrange. (links below)

“I wanted to make cycling more normal, and the biggest thing is that I’m not ok with the fact that little girls might not have the same opportunities as their brothers, just because they were born a girl… and that is what spurs me on”
In this episode we sit down with the amazing Louise Gibson, who - among many other accolades - was the face UCI’s #choosetochallenge Campaign, which coincided with International Women’s Day. If you have a quick look at Louise’s social media, it doesn’t take long to establish what she is about. For the past few years, Louise along with the amazing Internationelles have been actively flying the flag & standing up for Gender Equality is sport, and in particular in the pro-cycling ranks! Having completed the entire course of the Tour De France in 2019 with her Internationelles squad, and again covering the same distance virtually in 2020, Louise is making her voice heard, and people all over cycling are listening!
A few weeks ago, social media went into meltdown when Louise shared a pie-chart that showed the pay disparity between the Men’s and Women’s winners of the season opener Omloop Het Nieuwsblad - €16,000 for the men and €930. This set in motion a crowdfunding page that raised enough money to ensure the female winner of the following week’s Strade Bianci received the same prize money to the Men’s.
Its actions and stories like this that make this conversation with Louise not only an enjoyable one, but a significant one too.

"The main thing with training is for you to be Consistent, you're not doing too much, you get enough Recovery, you're sleeping well & you're eating well, that's 95% of training. Too much attention gets put on the 1%ers and not enough on what really matters"
In this first episode of Coach's Corner, Jordan Addison & Jamie Olsson sit down with Cycle Coach & G!RO Sensei Danny Roberts Clarke to learn more about the basics of Training With Power on a bike. Danny has many years experience coaching athletes & riders of all abilities all around the globe, and in this podcast we cover some of the basics of Power & here from Jordan and Jamie's experience working with Danny as a coach.
Its a really insightful listen, and one that hopefully many of you will find an interesting dive into all things Power. If you have any questions at all, or if you are looking for coaching be sure to give Danny a shout over at danny@nero.bike

“One of the most powerful things for a young person from this region is to develop a bit of hope; a bit of hope in their heart…Which might sound a bit dramatic and a long way removed from our lives, but for a young kid there that is living day by day, trying to find a feed, its survival every day there. So to create a bit of hope is the ultimate reason for doing this”
In this latest episode of the G!RO podcast, we check in with our good friend Ross Burrage. Ross started Masaka Cycling Club a couple years back in the Masaka province of Uganda… One of the poorest regions on Earth. His work there and founding of the Masaka Cycle Club Foundation, along with the support of cyclists around the world, is doing significant things in the lives of all involved with the club. G!RO has been supporting Masaka for over a year now, and it is a true honour to be involved in some small capacity.
Having recently partnered with Team Amani, Masaka is taking great strides in developing homegrown cycling talent, with the dreams of seeing its riders compete on the world stage. The impact this would have on the local region is such an exciting prospect, and one that is worth every effort made to support the club.
It was great to sit with Ross again to get the latest update on what is happening on the ground there. And also to hear how we in the UK can support what is happening moving forward. The key area of support of monthly donations of as little as £3 a month! For the price of a cup of coffee, you can contribute to the incredible work Ross and the team are doing. All the details for donations as well as the Jersey Fundraiser can be found here https://girocycles.com/pages/masaka-cycling-club
Please go and support… Every single £ goes to Masaka! We will be keeping you updated as to all the developments as the year goes on.
Also in April we will be launching a Masaka Campaign here in G!RO, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
We loved catching up with Ross, and know you will too.

"When someone else - completely outside from me - does something together in this network that benefits everyone, I get this sense of swelling pride that I am part of something bigger. It sounds cliche, but I am a disciple about Collective Action these days... thats the coolest thing about this project so far"
Mikel Delagrange is a Human Rights Lawyer who works at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Having spent much of the last 10 years in many parts of East Africa, Mikel saw an opportunity to explore the potential of partnering together cycling communities across continents to create and nurture real opportunities for riders in Africa. And so was born Project Amani: An international cycling team that brings together initiatives aimed at enhancing inclusivity in cycling and creating opportunities for riders based in Africa.
As many listeners will know, G!RO has been supporting Masaka Cycling Club in Uganda with Ross Burrage. This last year, Masaka has joined forces with Amani Project as one of its three supported cycling clubs in Africa. We were in turn introduced to Mikel, and it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know him, his work, and what he stands for. Full of humility and vision, Mikel is doing amazing things with Amani, and it is an honour to be involved in someway here at G!RO.
G!RO is stepping up its support of Masaka in 2021 and beyond, and this podcast serves as a good foundation as to the works of Project Amani and its ethos.We really enjoyed this conversation between Jordan and Mikel, and we are sure you will.

"Showcasing the best coffee possible means working closely with the right coffee farmers, producers, exporters and co-operatives; those that are willing to develop, evolve and adapt as together we target ever-improving quality in the cup"
G!RO has partnered with London based Workshop Coffee for the past 2 or so years as an exclusive coffee provider here at the cafe. We take genuine joy in being able to brew and serve the various offerings from Workshop, and we are always given warm feedback as to the taste and quality of the coffee. Workshop is a very special company, that goes far beyond just being a roaster. The lengths they go to invest in and understand the quality of the coffee, from personal visits to the farms and growers, to honing the meticulous art of roasting each variety is 2nd to none.
We wanted to take a moment to sit down with good friend Richard Frazier, who heads up all things marketing at Workshop, to delve deeper into how the business got started, the various strings to the company, and the efforts and passion behind their pursuit of exceptional coffee.
This was a really interesting conversation to have, and we know you will enjoy it and have a new appreciation for the company and its product.
Be sure to head over to Workshop's website to find out more about the brand, and see the current line up of coffees available. Also you can purchase Workshop Coffee both in store and online at G!RO's website.

"GLOBALLY 1 MAN DIES EVERY MINUTE FROM SUICIDE. I now want to show people that talking works and you’re not alone."
Nick Frendo has been a friend of G!RO since we first opened our doors in 2013. With his travel company he hosted a couple of trips for us to Girona, and have run some rides and events with him locally over the years. However in 2017, Nick revealed publicly that in 2016 he had attempted to take his own life - twice. Since then, Nick has become a Mental Health Ambassador for Movember, and has a vision and passion to use his experience and journey to inspire people to get help before they reach a crisis point. Nick founded the AFGO project and more recently Ascnd.cc with a goal to raise money and awareness for mental health and suicide, through rides, challenges, content & conversation.
Host Jordan Addison sits down with Nick Frendo to talk more in detail about his journey and what drives him on to further the work he, Movember and Ascnd.cc are doing. Having known Nick for many years, this is a great conversation, and a timely one. Through Nick's journey which has led to this point, it is clear he has a clarity & resolve about what he and Ascnd can do, and the real impact it can have. The statistics around Suicide is shocking, and more people should know this and talk about it openly in the hope that someone finds the confidence to speak up and not go down that dark path. We commend Nick for his efforts and we stand with him in this cause to prevent suicides and champion mental health. Chapeau Nick.

"By my second race the unknown wasn’t a driver anymore, instead it was clear that racing for me is about an escape from the noise of day-to-day life. The simplicity of stepping away from everything. How often do we get a chance to take a holiday from our life? Sure it may be physically difficult racing, but all we are really doing is looking for food, water and shelter. There are no work deadlines, no social obligations, no chores and there’s often no phone connection. You are free to just ride and you do not have to attend to anything but the task at hand. At the end of the day I’m fortunate to be able to ride and race, seeing parts of the world I never imagined. There is no better way to explore the world than on a bicycle"
Excerpt from Touring With A Sense Of Urgency by Jesse Carlsson & Sarah Hammond
Host Jordan Addison was able to sit down this week with two people that know more about Ultra Riding & Racing than most others, Sarah Hammond & Jesse Carlsson. Safely back in Melbourne during this lockdown, Jesse and Sarah have spent most of the last year in remote parts of Australia, having given away all they had, and packed all that was left on their bikes to hit the road. During this time they have penned and published their book 'Touring With a Sense Of Urgency - A Comprehensive Guide To Bikepacking', which is a culmination of years of experience and lessons in the world of Ultra Riding, now shared with us the readers.
Jesse - who is one of the founders of Curve - and Sarah have an impressive palmares between them, including wins in the TransAm Bike Race & Multiple wins in Race to the Rock, to name but a few. But the stats & figures of their achievements on the bike quickly give way to the bigger question of 'Why?'. Why do these races? Why push yourself to the limits? Why pack your entire life on a bike and live wild with no time limits and be free? It is these questions that we explore in this podcast and the conversations that follow.

Its fair to say that 2020 has been a year unlike any other. As there appeared to be some light at the end of the tunnel surrounding Covid_19, over in the USA a Black male by the name of George Floyd lost his life at the hands of a white police officer. The events that have unfolded in the wake of this appalling act have been nothing short of extraordinary. In cities across the world, mass groups people of all ages and races have been peacefully protesting this injustice, but significantly are calling for our societies, cultures and authorities to put an end to every form of racism that exists knowingly or unknowingly. The #BLACKLIVESMATTER movement has come to the fore to challenge people from all walks of life to hold a mirror up and see what they understand about racism and White Privilege, to get educated on its realities, and play an active role in championing a world of equality and justice.
Moved and challenged by the events of this past week, Jordan Addison sat down with good friend & fellow cyclist Leon Cerrone to hear of his experiences and thoughts of being a Black male in cycling. Leon took to social media recently to challenge the cycling industry as to whether it is doing enough to see more men and women of colour participate in this sport we all love, as well as to ask if the larger brands who have a bigger voice are speaking up loud enough. It was on this basis that we continued this conversation in the podcast, in what we hope will be one of many more conversations around this very important issue that stretches far beyond cycling.
Moving forward, we hope this conversation can serve as a tool that can begin to plan a route forward that can see cycling - a sport that we deeply love - play its role is bringing and end to racism of any form in our society. Cycling is a sport that by its very nature celebrates and champions community & inclusivity regardless of ability...we all ride the same roads and share the same experiences. We hope that partnerships can be formed moving forward that can see more men and women of colour have access to bikes & this community that we love. We would love to hear your thoughts on this, so please reach out and get in touch.

Anyone who has run an independent business will know the level of passion, effort & sacrifice needed to run it day to day. And running a business in the cycling industry can be particularly intense as the high street is continually changing as is our interaction with online in retail and engagement. But cycling is a beautiful sport & lifestyle that can draw out a passion and a drive to overcome challenges and obstacles for the opportunity work in an industry that you love and care for.
Being owners and directors of businesses in the cycle industry Jordan Addison of G!RO and George Galbraith if JAM Cycling have struck up a real friendship built on a similar, passionate outlook on the cycling industry and a real understanding of what it is like running a business in a sport that they and some many others truly love.

This episode of the G!RO Podcast invites you grab a brew in to join their conversation on 'Where Cycling Will Be In 10 Years Time'. Its worth noting that this is a conversation and the points discussed are opinions only. Opinions based with a goal to secure & enhance the future of the cycling and all who enjoy it.

A few months back, Sarah Hammond introduced us here at G!RO to Ross Burrage who put out a call for some second hand kit for a project he was involved with in Uganda. 8 Large DHL boxed up and shipped to go to the amazing Masaka Cycling Club in the southern part of Uganda. The mission of the club is to offer a platform for men & women to access cycling as a sport, which for the vast majority would be near impossible being one of the poorest parts of the country. Its an amazing project that is having a real & significant impact in the lives of that area.
This week, Jordan was able to sit down with the man behind the project, Ross Burrage. He is also the man behind the excellent Hidden Athlete podcast, which delves into the lives of some of most extraordinary athletes on the planet. So sit back, grab a brew and enjoy!

When we first opened our doors in 2013, one of our desires was to break down the barriers that may stop people getting involved in cycling. We wanted to (and still do) find ways to make groups cycling or racing available to all regardless of ability or background. However, the reality is that Cycling has been a largely male dominated sport from the top levels down to grass roots. So what does this mean to women who are involved in cycling or women who want to get involved in cycling.
This week, we sit down with Debs, Michelle, Jo & Daniella who are members of the G!RO Women's Race Team for an open and honest conversation about their journeys as Women in Cycling. We discuss how to build confidence in a largely male dominated sport, some issues they have faced, and discuss some realistic solutions that could pave the way for more women to be involved in a sport that we all love. We would love to keep the conversation going, so please email your thoughts over to rides@girocycles.com

A true star & very recognisable figure of British Cycling, there isn't much Matt Stephens hasn't achieved. From growing up racing across the UK scene in the 80s & 90s, turning professional & racing all over the world, through to becoming British Road Race National Champion in 1998, & more recently gracing our screens as a commentator & reporter for Eurosport's Cycling Coverage.
We had the chance to sit down with Matt over a coffee here at G!RO to hear first hand what it was like racing in a scene that was a shadow of where we see cycling here in the UK today. Cycling is now a nationally celebrated sport, but for Matt to take the step to turn professional was a lesser trodden path in the 90s. Its clear that Matt still has the same passion now that he had as a youth racing for his local Hemel Hampstead Cycling Club & we loved sitting with him to hear his stories. This is hopefully one of a few more podcasts with this true gent!

For some the thought of packing your bags, loading your bike and riding your bike around the world would be a life long dream. For others a terrifying and overwhelming ordeal. But for Gus Burrell that is a reality. At the beginning of this year, Gus stepped away from his life in the cycling industry of Melbourne Australia, packed his Curve Kevin of Steel and headed off to Japan, and onwards to Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, through to Europe, Lesotho and awaits his next leg into South America.
We've teamed up with Ryan Flinn of Curve & the Race Ride Seek Podcast to catch up with Gus on a short break here in the UK. We hear about the remote places he has visited, the personal journey he has been on, the wonderful bike accompanying him, and of course the Bratwurst. Gus is a wonderful human, and we know you will love this one. Cheers Gus!

In our busier and busier lives, the art of connecting on a human level with those around us is becoming somewhat of a lost art ... lost in the noise of our every day, our phones, our work and more distractions. Yet when we encounter real connection it is striking and significant yet it can be the far down our list of priorities.
Host Jordan Addison sits down with close friend Dave Erasmus to discuss and delve into the importance of Community and the Significance of connecting with those around you on a real, authentic & human level. Dave has spent the last 3 years using a secluded woodland in the heart of Sussex to explore these very ideas and using nature as a vessel for human connection, creativity as well as personal and business growth.
