Episode 1 | The Rider-Up Podcast gets things rolling

Rider-Up

Hosts Dan Lucas and John Carlin barely knew each other when they decided they had enough cycling in common to launch the Rider-Up Podcast. Strange, because John is mostly a roadie and Dan refuses to ride on the road, preferring to huck down the hardest downhill terrain he can find on his mountain bike. Dan works in a bike shop. John, well -- shops at the shop. But both of them enjoy living and riding in Virginia's Blue Ridge -- America's East Coast Mountain Biking Capital. In episode 1 listen as Dan and John get to know each other and talk about a few of their adventures. Dan will tell you why you are probably using the wrong screwdriver and talk about the time he crashed and bashed his teeth in. (Don't worry -- it's not toooo gory.)
