Episode 152 - No Unbound for DJ?!

What up party people. Welcome back to the Bonk Bros podcast. No Dizzle or DJ this week, more on that during the show, so yeah, Scott, Tyler, and I are running the show which I think is the first time we’ve ever had that combo. Tune in for some talk on recent bike race happenings and a fair few tangents, but all in all a fun time.

This week’s episode is brought to you by our very good friends over at Bike Tires Direct who happen to be running a massive Memorial Day sale going on this week and through the holiday. That’s right, this is their bi-annual Deal Hub, which is a one-stop-shop for you to pick up a TON of products from top brands at steep discounts. So head over to the link in the show notes and pick up your favorite products now because the next time you’ll see prices this low won’t be until probably their Black Friday sale. https://www.biketiresdirect.com/memorial-day-deals-for-cyclists

We also brought on TWO new partners this week so tune into the show to hear more about those.

If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at bonkbrospodcast@gmail.com or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Alright let’s get this party started!
