Certain MTB features are visually unsettling and can get stuck in our heads!  The dreaded "downward facing drop" may require more technique on our mountain bike trails than we're accustomed to!  Access your MTB intuition, trust your skills, stay present and effortlessly flow through any and all features on your next mountain bike ride! 

Do calloused hands mean we're gripping the handlebars too hard?  Does an electric Dirt Jumper actually make a lot of sense?  When can gravel biking be considered mountain biking?  What the heck is cyclocross?  Join the guys for a fun conversation about hitting features for the 1st time, Dan's ride at Gold Canyon, e-bikes, perfect trails and more!  

MTB Gratitude of the Week:

Dan: Email from Listener Nick Haas! - Dan & Sage received an awesome email from Nick about the positive vibes of the R&L podcast.  Nick noted how the pod is helping his mindset for more fun, flow & stoke on the bike.  Where we decide to put our attention and what we consume matters. Thank you Nick for your kind words and encouragement!  We appreciate you and all of our awesome listeners! 

Sage: Sticker Mule! - New Ride & Laugh Stickers are here!  Sticker Mule does a great job with their stickers.  Next time you see us, don't be shy & ask for a shiny new Ride & Laugh sticker! Sticker Mule - https://www.stickermule.com/

MTB Tip of the Week:

How to warm up your winter gloves pre-ride! You're driving to the trails for a cold, winter ride but you don't have to warm your riding gloves on the dashboard defroster anymore.  Turn on your seat heaters and sit on those gloves!  Now your winter riding gloves are nice and toasty when you arrive at the trailhead!
