Podium Cafe, for Cycling fans

It's about the challenges of setting up a women's cycling team in Afghanistan - a whole other world of cycling issues - and you can donate to make the film happen, too

If you're looking for presents for women's cycling fans in your life, or want your nearest-and-dearests to get you some presents you'll really like, click through and check out my guide, with clothes, books, art, jewellery and more, for women and men. Part 2 will follow next week!

Check this out! It's a podcast-documentary dedicated to women's cycling - with interviews from Rochelle Gilmore about her brand new team, Stefan Wyman on fan-backed women's cycling and, erm, me on being a rabid fangirl! Have a listen!

Sharon Laws came into road cycling through completely crazy adventure MTB races, the kind where she'd finish the race and end up on a drip! Sharon, and her team-mate Hanlie Booyens, won the Cape epic in 2004 and 2009, so it's a lot of fun to see them team up for the 10th edition of the race. It'll be so much fun! Lots more on the Cape Epic on their website - and check out my interview with Laws from 2011, to find out more about her - and of course, click through the link at the top for more from Laws and Booyens about their plans!

OK it's pretty concentrated on the Dutch riders, but there are a couple of minutes from the Juniors race including a shot of Elinor Barker crossing the line.

It wouldn't be -Leontien.nl, but still, AA Drink toying with my hopes by joking about not stopping sponsorship after all.... Fingers crossed!

For the past two years we've had almost a full hour of coverage of this race, so this minute long piece seems a particularly exiguous offering, but video it is, and it scales up to full screen quite nicely

So this week we take a bit of a deep breath and reflect on how much has been going on with the Olympics. Sarah is possibly overdosing on Olympic goodness, while Dan expresses his abiding love of silver.Sarah announces that she is a Republican, Dan shares his knowledge of what it’s like to be a working mum and later sighs forlornly over the Route de France. Also we talk track, BMX, MTB and Olympicy stuff too. This week’s crazy idea extends so far into the crazy that Dan claims it will not only benefit cycling but will also make the world better.
