John and Dan interview Olympic medalist and cycling coach Shelley Olds. Shelley raced in the 2012 Olympics and had a solid chance at a medal. She shares the tragic story of that day, her significant issues, and her recovery from serious head injuries due to crashes. Shelley graduated from Roanoke College in Salem, Va., where she was a stand-out soccer player. She then transitioned to bikes and there was no looking back. Now she is back at Roanoke College to coach a start-up cycling team. She has great plans for the team and sees no reason why her students could not go on to the Olympics. After all, Shelley knows the path!

Tune in to listen as Shelley shares all of the back stories with Host, Dan Lucas, and John Carlin -- who share some of their own stories of crashing and recovery. Dan also tells you how to make sure you don't overtighten your bolts, so you don't crunch the carbon do-dads on your ride!
