Where have I been? Here and there, doing this and that. 
Listen in as I recap some of what I missed and let you know where the podcast is headed.

In a period of just a few short years Tye Bragg went from cycling newbie to ultra distance Trans South Dakota finisher. Listen in to his story of what might be the the best race you haven't done yet. Down Annie's Creek, around Mt. Rushmore, across the Missouri River, through the Badlands, to the Corn Palace and all the way to Sioux City Iowa. 

In Episode #7 I sit down with one short course racer and two first time bikepackers. I enjoyed hearing their stories about the Open Range Gravel Race.
Marylou Bosveld, Tiffany Burris, and Karen Dill share their experiences at one of the only organized rides available in a worldwide pandemic.

Part 2 takes the podcast to Smithville, MO to see how a brand new bike shop is dealing with stay at home orders. Smithville Bike COOP owner Damien Boley tells us how he manages a day job, a bike shop startup, race promotion, and the town of Smithville as the mayor. 

 What happens at the local bike shop when the world shuts down? Join me as I find out at my local bike shop, Santa Fe Trails Bicycle and Coffee shop. I recently got a chance to head over to Leavenworth, KS  to an established business and get the low down on what's changed due to Covid-19.  If you love bikes you should always support a shop near you, but during these trying times is may be more important than ever.

Sometimes all you have to do is finish! I survived the Mid South mud along with my stoker wife and earned a well deserved Bobby hug as well as a 3RD place tandem finish!
I got this Land Run to Mid South conspiracy theory cleared up and had an intense moment with the godfather of grass roots, Bobby Wintle. Listen in as we give you the Gravel Warfare/DarkEarly race recap from atop the Two Headed Monster. Enjoy!

From Gravel Warfare World Headquarters, inside the Whiskey Snug in historic downtown Weston, MO I present to you Eric Sutter, Mastermind and event director of the Open Range Gravel Race in Pratt, KS.
