In episode 019 we get the pleasure of welcoming some new Patreon Patrons – Thanks Ted and Dennis!! Brian catches us up on his Williamsburg tour with Wilderness Voyageurs and heads out to Dirtfest in PA, Joey buys a new Diverge frameset and pukes Papa John’s garlic sauce all over the slide at church camp, and Wes flip-flops again on AWOL plans. Sigh. We answer a lot of listener email and voicemails, plus catchup on the Strava club. Looking for some Mid-Atlantic overnight bikepacking ideas? Let’s talk about plans for a great S24O (sub 24 hour overnight) on the canal towpath. A rousing this or that and you can now participate in the action with polls on our social media places, or whatever you want to call them.
We also drop our top 5 “monuments” or “classics” of gravel riding/racing! Check it out!
And which do you prefer? A tenkara setup or the Ronco Pocket Fisherman?
Don’t forget the special discount code we got from Dave over at unPAved of the Susquehanna River Valley – 10% off registrations and merchandise just use the discount code ‘MidAtlanticGTD’
