Bottom Bracket Biking

Today we talk about bike rides going on around Iowa, talk to the race director about Loess Hill Enduro and discuss our recent trip the Bentonville and what to do when bike trips don't go the way you want them to.

Today we are talking to Chris McQueen - Mastermind behind the new "Iowa Gravel Series". This is 5 gravel rides all across Iowa. Give it a listen and sign up for one or two or five.

In this episode we talk Iowa Mountain Bike Championship Series (IMBCS) with the series director Rob Cook. IMBCS is actually how Anthony got into mountain bike racing and is a big part of both Anthony and Jen's summers

This week we have another episode with Genesis talking about cold weather riding considerations, our experiences and how to make the cold a little more enjoyable.

Jen got a new bike, CITA got a new toy and we spent a bunch of time breaking them in and testing them out. Curious about fat bikes? Want to know what this new trail grooming thing is all about? Well then this episode could be your new favorite.

We go over goals we had in the previous year, if we achieved them, where we rode, reveal how much we actually rode and talk about goals for the next year. It's a shockingly novel idea, we know.

In this episode we talk with Genesis Gilroy - a friend of ours and a commuter year round. She's helped us immensely with clothing choice and appropriate layering, we thought she might be able to help other people as well.

Today we talk about the effects of winter on the dirt trails and how you can keep rolling despite the wet trails. And Cold. And dark. And snow.

Also talking about ball bearings. Because Anthony freaking loves ball bearings.

In this episode we talk about Dubuque, Fort Dodge and Lake Red Rock - all in Iowa and all creating mountain bike trails from scratch! We also talk about bike lights and what kind of lights we use.

We tried something new with this episode! Neither of us can bike for 340 miles or even 150 miles so we went the easy route and just showed up to cover the event for you guys. Featuring conversations with riders, race directors and supporters. This was quite a departure from our normal episode. Please enjoy!
