In this episode, we sit down with Pro Cyclist Brendan 'Trekky' Johnstone for a comprehensive breakdown of his intense season. We interviewed Trekky at the start of this season and he had some big aspirations, but the season went far from what he hoped.

And halfway through the year, he almost quit completely. 

From standout performances to tough moments, Trekky shared an honest insight into the year, the lessons learned about himself, and the lifetime Grand Prix series. 

This is a must-listen episode for every athlete, as his year was an exact representation of the hardest parts of the sport that we'll most likely face at some point.

Tune in for an honest and inspiring conversation about the highs, lows, and the road ahead in Trekky's cycling career.
