Gnar Gnomies MTB Podcast

We interview Sam from the Atlanta Bike shed and discuss his new awesome business (mobile and can come to you on bike with trailer and repair kit). We also chat about his love for steel bikes, cargo bikes, all types of biking, commuting, etc. He also has a speciality in custom wheel building! Is it worth it? Have a listen and find out!

I sit down with Shreddy to discuss my latest trip to Salt Lake City, Utah and the MTB ride I did out there. We also discuss latest rides, future rides, and a bunch of random thoughts. Hope you enjoy this good ole fashion round table (but with only 2 Gnomies this time). Crack a cold one and enjoy!

So we all know Blankets Creek is one of the best MTB trails in the greater Atlanta metro area, but who are the people behind it? What is the story? The history? The Future? Well we got the President (Nikki Adams) and Treasurer (Jay Wilkes) to tell us all about it! And not just Blankets Creek but also Rope Mill and ahem... a new mtb trail system!!!! So tune in and learn all about it, as I definitely learned a ton!

So after chatting with DJ and hearing stories of his son Aiden, I had to have this young racer get on the podcast as well to share his story! Aiden started racing at a young age, so young they had to lie to get him into races and he still rocked them. He was on a bike probably before he could walk. It was great to hear a perspective from someone who has grown up around the sport and living in a mountain biking mecca. So as Aiden says "Ride fast and don't crash!" and sit back and enjoy!

The Lawyer and I sit down with Shawn Brunner of Fresh Bikes to unpack his love of the sport, starting out working at a shop from the ground up, to working for Yeti, then on to founding his own bike shop right outside of Big Creek. Oh and I just bought an e-bike from him! There is a lot discussed here and you will hear the passion come out of this dude throughout. Now get in that flow state and enjoy!

We got the Gnomies together for a post race recap at Cultivation Brewing. Listen in to hear about all the crazy happenings from getting the trails race ready after the hurricane, pre riding (breaking stuff) and racing to end up sweeping the podiums! Hope you enjoy!

P.S. People been asking how to buy Gnar Gnomies Merch. You can email me at [email protected] or on instagram. Just need your address and can use Venmo or cash. If local to Atlanta area can meet up to deliver the goods!

On this episode we sat down with DJ Carder of Blue Mountain Bikes out of Blue Ridge, GA. So cool to hear the history of MTB, as DJ goes way back in the scene and amazing to learn about how Blue Mountain Bikes came to be so organically. Not to mention this guy and his crew are always giving back to the community! Hope you enjoy!

Okay you know it was bound to happen at some point right?! Now a few Gnomies have gotten E-Bikes so this type of riding seems to be catching on... We can't ignore it anymore so lets just hit it head on with The Lawyer, The Mechanic, and Shreddy!

P.S. This is part 1 mainly due to the fact I can't figure out how on Riverside to upload multiple audio recordings per episode (face palm) so if you know hit me up. Also it was a little long so probably makes sense in a two parter lol.
