Outdoor Office Podcast Tim LeRoy

Over the last ten years or so the road bike has probably changed more than during any previous decade. What drove those changes? How has the industry adapted? What's next? We called up three smart guys to find out:
- Chris McGovern, McGovern Cycles (McGoverncycles.com)
- Jake Pantone, ENVE Composites (ENVE.com)
- Nick Legan, Shimano (bike.shimano.com)

Caught up with three of our favorites (in order of appearance): Toms Skujins, Pete Stetina and Amanda Nauman on what it's like to play with bikes professionally in 2019. Topics discussed include riding with kegs, the best culinary use of the potato and of course, gravel.

Welcome to season 2. We kick it off by checking in on three events we're signed up for this summer to find out what's new (or not)-- Crusher in the Tushar, the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, and Dirty Kanza. Please give us a rating if you like the show!

*Ed note: while we joke about a guests and opioids, it's no laughing matter. Nor are cougars.

We've flushed out the cob-webs from our New Years revelry, but before we fully turn our sights on what's ahead in 2019, wanted to get the gang back together for one last look at 2018; the laughs, the tears, the miles, all of it. More than just a trip down memory road, we checked in Neil's beard growing progress and a bunch of other fun stuff.
