Ep 133 The Luna Cycling Family

Cycle Jerks Podcast

In this episode we meet up with Joel Luna and his 2 boys Josh and Jacob. Joel grew up in the Philippines and moved to the US at age 15. He raced bikes there before coming to the US and has also raced here but this episode is focused on his two boys and their life racing bikes. Josh 18 and Jacob 14 are racing road bikes and doing quite well. They are both racing for teams and developing as young cyclists. Mom and Dad have given them tremendous support and have even gone so far as to dedicate a room in their house for smart trainers and Zwift sessions. These sessions often include the boys and Mom and Dad! The boys share stories of and some of their challenges of racing and training while juggling a full-time school schedule. From where we are sitting it seems like they are doing quite well. Neither of them really focusses on climbing and yet at this year's Mt. Diablo Challenge they managed to both ride sub 55 minutes which is very respectable at any age!
