In this episode I chat with Matt at the airport as we wait for our flight south from Skardu. We talk about the two weeks we have just spent in one of the most incredible places on earth, trying to find epic single trail. Turns out this place has a lot more than just that! From the culture, terrain, people, landscapes, and food to the challenges and successes that a trip like this breeds. Hear a fresh perspective on this remote part of the world.

Now that we have found where the good stuff is hiding, would you come with us next year?

Keep an eye out for the short film that we are putting together from the trip. We are really excited about it!

Remote coaching is here. See how it went with Nick and the creators of BrakeAce. Not only are we talking more about braking, but we also did something pretty awesome. I used BrakeAce to coach Nick remotely. I didn't ride with him at all, he recorded his rides with BrakeAce and Strava - so I could see some common themes with his riding correcting some bad habits and encourage the good ones. He kept cracking PB's on strava and the results were awesome! The chat is pretty good too.

I have had Matt on MTB - Sharing the Stoke before because I think that he likes brakes even more than I do. We went out and shot a video trying to see how an eBike rides compared to a mountain bike and if one was better than the other. It all came down to a couple of things that we should have guessed!

Matt is a 3rd generations cyclist and really loves science and has been a big part of the development of BrakeAce - this is how he helps share the stoke with riders all over the world! By demystifying how we ride we have a solid starting point to improve from.
