Seeing pro cyclists knocking out 400km training rides can be pretty disheartening to the every day bike rider. How can you ever become a good cyclist if you don't have the time to go for 10 hour long rides every weekend? Well, we think short rides are better than long, all day slogs. You can ride harder, dodge the worst weather, and fit them in around your over life commitments. Dan and Si discuss all this and more on this weeks GCN Show.

Invitation only, the world’s best gravel riders compete for a $300,000 prize purse in Life Time Grand Prix - the toughest gravel racing series there is. So how did Simon manage to get an invite? Thanks to Pinarello and a mega-bike influenced by Tom Pidcock, he’s going to take on some of the top pros in the Sea Otter Classic event. But can he survive this brutal course?
