If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). We did record some bonus content that has been so graciously shared with our loyal Patreon supporters so if you want access to that you can get in on the action for as little as $3/mo. This week’s presenting sponsor is none other than our marginal gains compadres over at Silca. We didn’t talk about it on the show but y’all should have seen how distraught DJ was when it started raining a couple hours before the start of the race and he was so concerned about which wax formula he should use that he even called the guys at Silca to talk him off the ledge. Turns out, the Speed Chip compound can be used for muddy races without much need for concern. Get yours today and use the NEW code: bonkbros15 for 15% off. Alright let’s get this party started.
