In Episode Thirteen of the Virtual Velo Podcast, Ken, Joy, and Chris explore the legend of the man known as Yankow, Matt Yankow.
400 Watt time trial averages, 4-minute gap sweeps, 40 broken smart bikes (that’s a slight exaggeration), and he’s not competitive. Call it complacent.
Joy did in this report when she hoodwinked Yankow,
“Powering Through Contentment-Satisfaction, Complacency, or a Crutch?”
He called 200-mile Unbound Gravel “a fun ride” and knows that people think he’s annoying, but he does it anyways. He broke a year-long sugar fast with the last piece of cake he ate the year before. His wife thinks he’s one-dimensional, but after listening, you’ll know that’s not the case.
