Calling all G fans! Pro cyclist Geraint Thomas announced on December 22 that he has launched his own cycling club, and it’s open to everyone.
A few days later, the 2018 Tour de France winner gave an update on his club, adding that it will host a new podcast as well, of the same name, dedicated to telling “the stories and secrets of pro cycling.”

The podcast is co-hosted by Tom Fordyce, an avid cyclist “who owns too many bikes” and creative director for Crowd Network, the podcast-producing company with which Thomas has teamed up. The first episode, which dropped January 12, is 53 minutes long and features an interview with pro cyclist Richie Porte.

Thomas is no stranger to podcasts. Previously, he’s teamed up with fellow pro cyclist Luke Rowe to produce the podcast called “Watts Occurring.” Fans of that podcast don’t need to worry though, Thomas says he’ll continue producing it along with his new one.

Fans looking to join can follow the club’s social media accounts for updates. There’s a dedicated public Facebook group, where members can connect and communicate with one another. There’s also a Strava club that members can join, if that happens to be your cycling app of choice.

The Geraint Thomas Cycling Club will also be hosting weekly group Zwift rides, giving Zwift members a chance to ride alongside the pro cyclist. Thomas is a hardcore Zwift rider himself and has been sponsored by the popular virtual cycling platform for a few years now. (Zwift is also a sponsor of the club and podcast.) Last April, he raised coronavirus relief money for the U.K.’s National Health Service by riding 12-hour “Zwift shifts.”
In addition to these new club rides, Thomas has regularly hosted public Zwift group rides in the past, including a massive ride with Zwift CEO Eric Min last January.
