Hosts Dan Lucas and John Carlin barely knew each other when they decided they had enough cycling in common to launch the Rider-Up Podcast.  Strange, because John is mostly a roadie and Dan refuses to ride on the road, preferring to huck down the hardest downhill terrain he can find on his mountain bike.  Dan works in a bike shop.  John, well -- shops at the shop.  But both of them enjoy living and riding in Virginia's Blue Ridge -- America's East Coast Mountain Biking Capital.  In episode 1 listen as Dan and John get to know each other and talk about a few of their adventures.  Dan will tell you why you are probably using the wrong screwdriver and talk about the time he crashed and bashed his teeth in.  (Don't worry -- it's not toooo gory.)
