Matt had a hard time with numbers when he was naming this show. This week, Andrea goes deeper into hommade things and is about to embark on a public land whitetail hunting adventure, Kenny goes in depth about his e-fat dilemma, and Matt is just doing his usual Matt things.

Listener Discussion:

We've got new water bottle colors in stock now at JustRidingAlongShow.com!

This week's episode kicks off with some discussion of parking chaos in Salida, running shoes, interval training, and Kenny's latest bike purchase. 

New Shit: 

The last one leads the crew into a great discussion about chargable vs. rechargable batteries as well as the next big idea that SRAM is going to get from the JRA Podcast. After that, Andrea attempts to rant about curmudgeon mechanics, but is steamrolled by Matt and Kenny who run off in a totally different direction with it. 

Listener Questions:

Before we wrap up, Kenny has a funny story about Apple's Siri and rounding numbers. 

Sorry for the late upload on this one. Funny enough, we kick this episode off with a short talk about Andrea's ADHD. After that, it's winter training, e-Heelies, and how Matt wrecked his moto. 

Listener Questions:

We then discuss a little doom and gloom about bike prices and the state of the bike industry. 

This episode gets off to a sad start. Matt and Andrea lost their little terrier, Marley, to kidney failure. They talk about how Matt adopted him 14 years ago and how they've dealt with his loss this week. Kenny pulls us out of the sad hole with his trip to St. George (including an update on his Ground Control 29x2.3" tires). Lastly, Andrea pines for a deal on a cross country bike to race next season. 

New Shit: Scott Genius

Should I race Breck Epic singlespeed? 

I'll apologize ahead of time for Matt's gross cashew chewing. It doesn't last long, but ew. Gross. 

Kenny got new tires this week, and the crew discusses how many spokes they've broken in their lifetimes. We delve a little in to hunting, as Matt has decided last minute to go elk hunting next week, and Andrea is helping out his scouting game. This leads them down a rabbit hole of the Metric and Imperial systems of measurement.

Listener Questions:

This week's episode kicks off with a goat-related tale from Andrea. If you aren't in to eating farm animals, you may want to fast forward a little. Along with making goat ham, she also doesn't have jury duty this week. Hell yes! Matt crashed his trials bike, and Kenny has been getting down on morning rides, and is considering van stuff.

Listener Stuff:

Andrea rejoins Matt and Kenny after nearly staying feral in the woods forever. This week, Matt had a battery misfortune, chased KOMs, and bought ANOTHER fork. Kenny updates us about his experience with the MTX Gold pads, how he got a ticket for riding his Surron, rants about taxes, and gets into the usual e-talk about semi trucks and stuff. Andrea answers a few choice questions from last week's episode and entertains the idea of cross country racing in the future. For anyone who is interested, Andrea's month-long collection of hunting stories will post as an episode (or two) of the Antlerless Podcast, along with some Squirrel Team Six hijinks. 

New Shit: 

Our one listener question spurs a discussion about the difference between a long travel cross contry bike and a short travel trail bike (or "downcounty", if you must)

Matt and Kenny make their final sausage fest count with this extended-length episode. They start with the usual discussion of their weeks then move on to some brake pad and e-moto talk, follwed up with a plethora of listener questions and comments.
