Big show for you this week! Ride with GPS vs. Strava vs. Apple watch vs. a ton of nerd stuff (at the end) vs. Booze vs. Cannabis vs. Covid vs. Motivation. I mentioned it's a big show, right? If you haven't listened to RBR 63, now would be a good time to get caught up. Y'all might know that I have a blog , but did you know I also post recipes ? Heck, I even posted about craft NA beer recently. Comments are open if you want to chime in or ask a question!...

Ride Bikes Radio is back! Since it has been a minute, we catch up. Then, straight into Brian's plans for the next 12+ months of riding to celebrate the anniversary of his birth in 2024. Let's just say he has a lot of miles and feet of elevation planned, and we get to join him on his journey getting ready. Speaking of, here is a copy of his Retul report. Comments are open and we are looking for feedback on pretty much everything! You can also email that feedback in to feedback at rbr and we'll ge...

One more quick one before Brian comes back. A little information about the Juiced Rip Racer that's in my garage, some Arizona heat struggles and a pass through the Strava Club . And, Brian's back for the next episode for sure with all of his updates!

Sure, I know I said I was going to be keeping this going, back in 2021 . Clearly that failed, so let's try again! This episode will be the first of 2 for July.

A quick and short show for you guys this week. It's not that we haven't recorded anything, because we have. There is a zoom video on the Stupid Facebook page and, well, another thing in the bin. You see, the last show we recorded was completely scrambled by the process I used to use to make the show. So, no Brian this time, instead you get me talking about #RideEveryDay for May, an update on the Gravity and, like we like to do, a trip through the Strava Club . I owe you a few links: My chain rin...

A little bit about me, a little bit more about me, and I really hate changing tires/tubes. If you are following along in the RBR Chat , you'll see that I have already corrected this, but boy was it frustrating! The other frustration is actually switching to clipless. I come clean as to why I haven't and Brian schools me on getting set up. Bike and Beer news we think you will like: Oskar Blues supports Can'd Aid Ducati Electric Bike?

Excuse the extra background noise. Brian's normal mic was still in a box. Oh, yea, we get Brian this week, fresh from his move to North Bend, Washington. He catches us up on the move, what he gets to ride and him doing some paying forward. Plus, you guys killin' it in the Strava Club! Hoping to get Danyelle back on soon for a full update on her triathon experience. Spoiler alert: She didn't drown! And we talk a little bit about beer, like we like to do.

Joined by listener Danyelle from Canada this week as a special treat. We have a great conversation talking about upgrades, how cool it is to work in a bike shop and how much we both dislike the smell of pot. Finally, what not to do when drinking, including not signing up for a triathlon! So, all in all, a pretty rounded show. If you are wondering what else she listens to, Danyelle really likes the Trainer Road Podcast for lots of great information and tips. I did notice a bunch of you last week ...
