The MTB Connection Podcast

This episode we are joined by Robin the exchange student, all the way from Germany, And Jeff the Map Guru, all the way from Edmundston.  Lori takes on a little tech quiz, we talk about smartwatches, and indoor trainers. Of course, we get into the nitty-gritty of FTP and power output, because why not? We love stats!

This week we're catching up with Ben Cummings, man of many talents, host of the Homegrown show (and the new Homegrown podcast)!Now Ben isn't a mountain biker per se (we are working on that) but he does have some funny stories, and he's the PR guy for Fundy Biosphere among other things, so he's kind of a big deal in the tourism sector. We recently spent sometime with Ben, on mountain bikes, in Riverview NB so we figured it'd be great to go check out his humble homestead and get down with some of his crazy YouTube antics.

Joining us this week we have the one and only Matt Mooney of MTB Fitness. We're discussing fitness and mindset, and taking a deep dive on Matt's MTB specific workouts. As we head into winter we're getting ready to store the bikes, break out the indoor trainers, and hit the gym all in preparation for the upcoming season. Yes, we're already looking forward to 2022 opener.... But first, we must workout!

We chat about a recent ride in Edmundston (Sentiers Madawaska), Darren's new Quest Enduro, and Miss Erin is finally back on the bike!! Wes and Lori have a new indoor trainer, and fitness equipment. Watch out for upcoming reviews and zwift results!!

It's Wesley's birthday and he's swallowing whole (pieces of cake) 🎂🎂We actually made it to Moncton to check out Blockley's dirt jumps!!  Wes and Lori check out the new enduro trails at Rockwood, and Becci and Darren take on a night ride in Grand Falls.

Brief intermission while Wes drops the kids at the pool..... And miss Lori needs more listener interaction (apparently it's addictive).

We head to Hillsborough to check out Quest Carbon Cycles. Owner Dale, and operations manager Melissa give us a tour of Whiterock and let us loose on their Enduro and AMT models.

We talk carbon fibre, starting a bike company, Kashima, and sweet, sweet enduro bikes. Standing in for Becci this week is the one and only Kiwi (Matt Blockley). We create complete chaos in her absence as she accompanied Erin on her first mountain bike-related trip to the ER, with a broken wrist!

For one last time we are on location at Sugarloaf Bike Park, New Brunswick, for the last chair of the 2021 season. 🥲🥲To close out the awesome season, we have the entire ride crew along for a chat and some Sugarloaf nostalgia. Whilst we're sad knowing this is the last session of the year, we're excited for 2022 as Sugarloaf gears up for some serious additions! 

Bad language, some sh*t talking, and a whole lotta tall tales. Peace out Sugarloaf, til '22 🤟🤟.

Quick get together of the troops discussing the cancellation of the MTB Atlantic summit, Vital MTB box, Chuck Norris jokes (completely lost on Becci) and some Fantasy DH. We do love Fantasy DH (Pinkbike).

Two years later Darren's prize finally arrives!! Becci got some new bzz bzz stuff (AXS). Lori wants to hear from our listeners, she needs interaction people! Wez finally goes tubeless.

The whole crew are gearing up for the last lift at Sugarloaf Bike Park this weekend (18/19th September).

In this episode we discuss our recent Nova Scotia road trip. We visit Gore, McIntosh run, and of course Shubie pump track (great work Adam). Jase eats cheese and ham for lunch, we get a visit from the [trailer park boys] mother of the year 2021, and there was something else I'm forgetting.....

Oh, LORI GOT A BIKE!!!!!!

No more cooter bashing on the top tube,  Lori finally got a new bike.

We're at the Sugarloaf Adrenaline festival this week, and we have Patrick Graves (SJ Trailminers, Be Rad) finally joining us for a chat! Greg Dionne gives us the low down on some new developments. We also sit down with JR Gauvin of Rebels Bike Shop in Campbellton and talk about the challenges of opening a shop during covid. Complete chaos ensues as we unleash Phillips, Blockley, Ricky, Yves and Barry on some beers and let them run wild!
