Episode 18 | From Gravel Camp to Snowshoe to Cleveland, chain oil and Karen Talley Mead

The Cycling is great in Virginia's Blue Ridge -- and in Episode 18 Dan, John and special guest, bike racer and fit guru Karen Talley Mead talk about the local events you can be a part of, while sharing some cycling adventures from across the country.  Then we get down to business with the tough question of how many bikes you really need.  Hint -- you're gonna need a bigger garage. Also Dan the mechanic riffs on people who don't oil their chain while John corners the bike shop pros with the question of why a natural flat pedal foot placement is so different from where we put our cleats when we click in.  And how wide should your gravel tires be?

Dan says oil your chain with this stuff.
