Episode 42: Covert Custom Builds & Mountain Creek Mishaps

Episode 43: 99 Degrees in the Truck, 100% on the Track

Welcome to another episode of the Trails of Two Bikes Podcast! Recording on our way back from West Virginia for this part 1 of a 2 part series, we're joined by special guest Emily to recap an epic eighth-grade graduation trip to Snowshoe for the Downhill Southeast race. From truck-stop camping and Cosmic Brownie chases to watching storms over Seneca Rocks and a quick creek-fishing mission, the journey down to Snowshoe was an adventure of its own. Once at the mountain, we tackle the massive 1.7-mile downhill race course. Tune in as we break down the late-night track walks, the decision to tape off the "Cupcake" drop for amateurs, navigating the janky b-lines, and surviving a slick, rocky fresh track. So grab a seat (or a saddle) and come along on another one of our epic adventures!
