Hari Menon is a dear friend and a long time cycling teammate. He is also been a runner for four decades as well. In this episode, we talked about his running and cycling journeys over the years. As someone who has cycled and raced in various parts of the world and as someone who has been living and racing in Dublin for the last couple of years, he shared pretty interesting insights into the club level riding and racing there. It was interesting to note them and contrasting that with the situation in our part of the world to learn and implement a few things here. I really enjoyed this conversation.
