The Big Dumb Ride

A podcast dedicated to the joys, miseries, and lessons left unlearned from your big dumb bike rides. If you ride or race bikes for long enough, you're bound to have one (or many) bike rides that were ill-conceived, didn't go as planned, or that were just plain hard. But these are the rides that give stories to tell and teach us a thing-or-two about who we are and remind us why, no matter how ridiculous the endeavor, we love to ride our bikes. This is a lighthearted, interview style podcast dedicated to exploring the misadventure stories from some of your big dumb rides.
