Welcome to episode 27 of the Fat Camp Podcast all you gnome hunters out there.  It’s time to settle in for part deux of KBS’s recap of his August bikepacking adventure on the Colorado Trail.  In this episode of Fat Camp, Ken shares his stories with Andy on second half of his trip which picks up in Leadville and finishes downhill to Durango (days 6-12).  In case you missed the first half discussion, click here and if you’d like to check out the dorkitude slide show that Ken put together, check it out as well.  Fat Camp will return to its usual tech talk next month so be sure to check back with Ken and Andy for November’s show.  And if you simply need more of the Camp in your life, be sure to check them out on the Instagram @fatcamppodcasters or shoot them an email ([email protected]).  Till next time campers and thanks for listening (mic drop)

Show number eight, opens a new chapter for the Black Ribbon Bike Hour. Evan & Chris host the show and welcome (new cast member) Dee to the Radio Pgm. There’s one thing that never changes on the Black Ribbon Bike Hour….and that’s the exploration of cycling’s seedy underbelly and the psyclo-centric, counter culture, conversations that emerge, from said explorations….wait, that’s two things. Show #8 has all of that and an interview with Paul Price from Paul Components ; plus the ‘one and only’ Chewy calls into the Cloud Factory Studios to appeal Gomez’s two show suspension for high sticking. So crack a beer and get ready to enjoy the cool island vibes of the Black Ribbon Bike Hour – numero ocho.

We have two new cast members, Spinner and Leia, along with one holdover from the old show, that would be me…your uncle gomez. The show has moved into a posh radio studio, with a control room and a land phone line…..so you know what that means! That means we’ll soon be talking with our Fatbassodors from all of the Fat-Bike Hot Spots from around the globe! So buckle your seatbelts and get ready to meet the new voices of Fat-Bike Radio! Oh and we also talk with the Top Dog at Salsa Cycles, Joe Meiser about why they’re equipping the Beargrease with 27.5 x 4 wheels this year.

The post The Dose of Fat – Show #128 – New Cast with Special Guest Joe Meiser from Salsa appeared first on .

Ken and Andy are back in the studio with the skinny on everything fat (or plus). Fat Camp show #26 starts out (as usual) with a little nugget of tech talk that involves Velocity and Stans.

That’s about all the tech you’re going to get with this show.  You see, the brains of the podcast (Ken) decided it would be a good idea to warm up for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB by riding the 500+ mile Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango.  Genius, eh?   The spleen of the show (Andy) has a million (or maybe like a dozen-ish) questions about Ken’s adventures and you can follow along with a (gasp) slideshow that features all the statistics you’ve always wanted to geek out on.  This show is the first installment of a two part series discussing what it was like to ‘through-bike’ the Colorado Trail and then do Leadville.  This, as some of you might surmise, was not your average vacation.

This is where Ken and Andy might have added their email address ([email protected]) or a link to their instagram (@fatcamppodcasters) so you could become further engaged in their podcast. Or they might have written a nice conclusion, like : Tune in next month to listen to Part Two of Ken’s report on “What I did on my Summer Vacation” in Show #M27 and perhaps closed with “happy trails” or any number of alternate, salubrious, colloquialisms.
