In this episode, my best friend and business partner Dyllan Walker makes his third appearance on the show. Dyllan is a Process Safety Engineer, Board Member for the Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce, President of the Shoreline Cycling Club, experienced gravel bike rider, passionate advocate for outdoor recreation, and my partner in NOMI Racing. He’s also a dedicated volunteer, community leader, and all-around good human.

We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including:

• A surprising dog attack in the lake

• The behind-the-scenes effort it takes for volunteers to maintain and build trails for cycling, hiking, and cross-country skiing

• Trail development and the future of our outdoor spaces

• The potential community impact of the rail relocation project

• Life on the road for work, and the funny, sometimes absurd, moments in airports and on airplanes

It’s a mix of community insight, outdoor adventure, and travel stories from one of my favorite people to talk to.
