In this episode of Roll On, Cole Paton, we’ll dive into Cole’s 2024 season—exploring the highs and lows of the Lifetime Grand Prix, Marathon Nationals and Marathon Worlds.
This conversation also explores Cole’s relationship with fellow racer and Olympian Savilia Blunk, lessons learned from ‘going for it’ with friend Bradyn Lange at Chequamegon, and the insight that inspired the rest of his season after taking a more conservative approach (holding back) at Sea Otter. We’ll revisit Cole’s frustrating end to the season in Bentonville, why he dug so deep when sick at The Rad and what’s motivating Cole most going into 2025.
Raw, real and vulnerable, Cole shows up for Roll On as he does for race day—holding nothing back and giving listeners a look inside the mind and heart of one of the top off-road cyclists in North America.
On a side-note, we had this episode scheduled for publication on November 20, but tragedy struck my family the evening before. There’s a multitude of reasons I chose to team up with Cole for this partnership, and all I can say, is that he’s been showing up for me and my family in a bigger way than he’ll ever know. Sincere, authentic and true—that’s the Cole I know. The straw the stirs the drink—he’s a straight up animator on race day.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Cole Paton is the real deal—and he’s so much more than a bike racer. He’s a friend, partner, son, uncle, brother and down to earth, humble and full of grace dude, who just so happens to be one of the fastest men on two wheels.
We hope you enjoy the listen!
