Merry Christmas! I hope you listeners have your chainsaws gassed up and chain lube ready cause this one is about the mass destruction Sorba CSRA saw from Hurricane Helene. I had no idea how bad the Augusta, GA area got hit and man did they get hit bad. They are still trying to dig themselves out of the rubble, and we hear about the massive project Ed is facing to bring these trails, and community back to life. Hope you enoy!

We sat down with local boy legend Drew Blankenbecler to discuss his passion of all things MTB! We had a great ride together in Utah before this GA boy came back to the dirty south and talked about the move, his bike related companies, siyack shredits on YouTube, and on and on. Really enjoyed catching up with this ripper and catch you a listen now ya here?! Oh yeah and he dropped a new schweeet YouTube bike review on his channel and forgot to mention it lol.

Sat down with returning guest David Chaney of Martha's Outpost to discuss many things mountain biking over some fresh coffee from Alma's coffee roasters in Woodstock/Canton area. It was a great discussion of trails (sneak peak at new thing for 2025), types of bikes in stable, frame materials, events, latest stories, and some good laughs. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Last year did a pod with the kiddos and they wanted to do it again over Thanksgiving, so I reckon this is becoming an annual tradition. FYI this was very spur of the moment, intro music wasn't uploading, was in a food turkey coma, couple drinks in, no direction, kids wanted to do it so bad and froze up a bit when on the spot, but hey they wanted to be famous so hope you enjoy hearing from the groms!

Happy Thanksgiving yall! In this episode we met with our buddy Rob aka Links as he has found the gnar! How is he navigating getting into mountain biking while balancing his golf addiction, work, family, etc? Also he got bit by the e-bike bug... Tune in to find out his story and more questions for another newbie mtb'er. We are spreading the Gnarvana down here in GA for sure!

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!

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!
