EPISODE 109 - Dylan’s Quitting YouTube. Dizzle’s Retiring from Crits. What Next, Discontinuing the Conti Race King?!

What up party people. First off, just wanted to give a big shout to all the folks who came up to me at Nepomuk Narly this past weekend to mention your loyalty to the show, interactions like that are truly what drives us (well at least me anyway) to keep this thing running week after week. Speaking of Nepomuk Narly, if you weren’t at the biggest little gravel race in Pisek, ND this past weekend then you definitely missed out on a good time. Not only did they manage to recruit even more big names to show up this year including reigning champ Adam Roberge, Ted and Laura King, the Minnesota hit squad of Inno and Chase, and a bunch of other fast riders from all over, they also just know how to bring the Midwest hospitality in such a unique way. From games and activities for all ages, race distances for anyone and everyone, the kindest host families you can ever imagine, and for the tip of the spear, one heck of a prize purse to boot. So put it on your calendars for next year, July 19th coming in hot. And no, this is not a paid advertisement, I just love this race to death and want y’all to experience the Nepomuk charm as well.

Okay so for the show this week, basically Drew drank way too much coffee and brought us on tangents galore the whole episode so you’ll just have to hang tight to find out what we really talk about.
