Dawson is out this week and we were fortunate enough to have Jason Finnell step in and co-host with Clint. Jason is an avid outdoor enthusiast and has been on Day Fire multiple times. Jason invited some of his friends from SORBA (Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association) to join us in-studio. Philip Darden - Executive Director and Jen Flavin - Development Director, stopped by and we talked about SORBA's mission, the challenges, the opportunities, their successes, and much more! It was a fun conversation and as you would expect - included stories and laughter!

More about SORBA from their website www.sorba.org:

This week Clint and Dawson sat down with three guests, Luke Swab, Matt Schweiker and Michael Kohn . In December 2023, these three friends from Chattanooga Tennessee, packed their bags and bikes for a trip to Nepal to tackle the Annapurna Circuit on bike. Nepal is renowned for being the home of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas. The route climbs 33,776 feet over 240 miles and reaches a high point at Thorong La Pass at 17,769 feet. Matt, Luke and Michael came back with stories of battling high altitude, freezing temperatures and the remarkable culture and hospitality of the Nepalese people. Join us as we listen, learn and laugh as they share stories about their adventure and each other.
