We hear from the crew at the Lowelifes Respectable Citizens’ Club: Treasurer and previous guest Erik Hillard, President Matt Baffert and Secretary Rob Pettersen. We discuss starting a new organization, their ongoing project of restoring the Condor Peak Trail, the surrounding Wilderness and how they’re creating an Elite Group of Volunteers while trying to not be elitist and stay welcoming to new volunteers.
About Brent:
Brent is a Trail Builder with the North Shore Mountain Bike Association and focuses on the Upper and Lower Griffen Trails on Mount Fromme. Through his work with Trailforks he’s come to discover the world of advocacy beyond just his home in North Vancouver, and serving as the inspiration to create Front Lines MTB.

The gang is catching up on life and it's been changing rapidly. Matt spent February out on the road, including at Old Pueblo. Andrea has been hunkered down searching Ace Hardware for bike pieces and Kenny has been doing Kenny things, including getting fan mail (ok...it's just a question, but still..).

Guitar Ted sits down with Marty Larson from The Heywood at Impact Coffee Bar in Decorah, Iowa to discuss The Heywood, which is planned for May 16, 2020. Listen in as they chat all about the ride, the area, and why you should head over to Northfield in May.
What is The Heywood? “The Heywood is a gravel road ride taking place in the rolling countryside south of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro plex. We call it Deep South Metro. You may know it as Northfield. Northfield is a college town of approximately 20,000 people. We have a thriving downtown with cafés, bakeries, and lots of stores with actual personality.
Rather hang out in the woods? We’ve got that covered too. Nerstrand State Park and Caron Park are a ten-minute drive from our start line. Both are on route even! In other words, bring your family! There’s lots to do.”

Kenny spent some time on his new wheels and gives some thoughts. They discuss the transition from the old ok bikes to the new crop of awesome bikes. Andrea starts a full discussion of stand over height. Matt has been up to no good and has a seemingly endless fleet of new personal bikes to talk too much about. It's here, so why not listen?
February 25, 2020
Nathan, Tani, and Auk are joined by regular guest, Brandon. Brandon was recently out at Pivot HQ in Arizona. The guys jump deep into the weeds about angles, suspension, and bike things. Tani is pretty interested in the width of people’s backsides. Nathan is new to skiing and brings up a great observation about being a newbie to a sport. Listen in to get your usual news update and a full episode of some great bike discussion.

MTB Ben kicked off his year with a trip to an event in Pittsfield, New Hampshire. Pedal4Paws was a fat bike and snowshoe event to benefit The Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire held at Camp Graylag, which is a 300-acre woodland preserve on secluded Wild Goose Pond in Pittsfield, New Hampshire. He sat down with Madison, Amy, and Eric Kriete to discuss what the event is all about, how it got started, how it helps animals in need, and history about the Graylag area. Ben had a fun time, so watch for next year's event.
