Whats up listeners! In this episode I had RFMBA Executive Director and friend Mike Pritchard over to the house for my first in "studio" interview. It was great catching up with Mike and learning about his background, coming from humble mountain bike beginnings in New Jersey, to carving out a full time position as Executive Directer of RFMBA. Throughout the interview Mike describes how RFMBA was "formed under fire", the patience you need, and the process it takes to create a mountain bike trail project. Eventually we get around to the recent IMBA Gold designation that the Aspen/Snowmass area was awarded, and what exactly that means to the area and mountain bike community. Mike briefly talks about the future of mountain biking, E Bikes and trail development. So what does the future hold for the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond, tune in and check it out. This is Ride On! Ramblings.
