Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, with Pros – Ep. 16 Indian Wells w/ Matteo Jorgenson
Hailing from Boise, Idaho, Matteo Jorgenson is America’s top-ranked professional cyclist and a rising star in the WorldTour. With breakout performances at Paris-Nice, the Tour de France, and victories on the global stage, Matteo has earned a reputation for being both tactical and tenacious. In this episode, we meet up with Matteo in Indian Wells, California—where the sun is hot, the roads are steep, and the vibes are chaotic. Together, we tackle nearly 4,000 feet of climbing in under 12 miles, talk pro cycling, power zones, and helmet tech... and yes, Scott bombs the descent in JNCOs. Strap in. About the Series: "Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, With Pros." The concept is simple: we ride bikes with our favorite professional cyclists and get to know them the only way that makes sense—on a grueling climb, with no gears, no coasting, and sometimes… no brakes.
