  • It’s a Great Day for a bike Ride!

    I was introduced to this show after meeting Adam and Michael at the Bike Ride Across Georgia a few years ago. Love the banter and discussion of all things cycling and the occasional bourbon review. They have great guests including bike directors of various rides across the United States. Listening to these guys driving down the road is like having good company on a long drive. They also have a good “gear” show during the holiday season with real user perspectives. Great work guys.
