Welcome to episode 71.

Joining us today is Davi Birks, founder of The Ride Companion Podcast. Davi sits alongside Olly Wilkins (Episode 69) and chats to some of the most influential figures in the world of Mountain Biking. But how did he get here?

Absolutely fascinating insight into a boy who had a dream. He was unsure what that dream was during his school years, but after a few detours, knew when he got there!

Enjoy, like, share and subscribe to The 96 Podcast. Thank you.
