Hello, and thank you all for listening today! This was a fun one to record as Brad and Shawn were live in person with each other for the first time since Rona' swept through. That being said, we didn't have our normal audio setups, so you'll notice a lot of background noise and echos. Thank you for your patience. We went on a long 4.5 hour mountain bike ride on 5/10/20 in Curt Gowdy State Park in Wyoming. It was a blast, and the boys talk in depth about the trails, what it's like getting back into biking for the first time in a long time, and what to bring for your first rides.
