Gnar Gnomies MTB Podcast

Episode 135: Fat bike racing extraordinaire, Buddy Mixon!

Buddy does things differently. You can't miss the guy, as he is always rocking his bright red drop bar Trek bike with giant fat tires on it, hitting every bike race on the scene. Doesn't matter if it is a mountain bike race, gravel or road he is there, and on the front with his fat bike. The dude has huge stoke for the sufferfest and exploring anywhere by bicycle. I originally met him at the Coldwater Lifetime mtb race and was taken aback and drawn to his crazy rig and attitude. We unpack his story along with some amazing wins at Leadville, Unbound, Gravel Worlds etc. So lower that tire pressure Gnar Gnation, and get ready for this wild ride! Here are some of his race accolades all on fatbike: Unbound 200 Fatbike category 1st Gravel Worlds 150 Fatbike category 1st The MidSouth 100 Fatbike category 4th Coldwater Trail 50k BWR Asheville 100 Cohutta 100 Homegrown Gravel 100 Assault on Currahee 6 Gap Century Covington Century Southern Cross 6 hours of Yargo Masters category 1st https://www.instagram.com/thezombywooof/ https://strava.app.link/1CO8uq6a52b

Episode 134: Catch up on the "Off-roadish Bike Podcast"

This is a good ole fashion catch up with the Gnar Gnomie and The Lawyer. Fair warning a lot of drop bar/gravel conversation happens on this one, but hey we always have to change it up am I right?! We discuss the usual latest rides, a new bike purchase, events, latest tech and trends, and of course get the low down \ from The Lawyer on training for Unbound. Make sure your clipless pedals are adjusted and clip in for this one gnar gnation!

Episode 133: The man behind Coldwater, Marcus Tillman!

Marcus and I have been trading messages for awhile to connect over the podcast, but it is hard to do when he is either always behind an excavator, handlebars, or just on a trail in general. That is why we brought the podcast to his excavator literally. Marcus is the recreational trail director for Anniston, Alabama, but most just know him as "The Trail Guru". The dude has been around the MTB scene a long while and a staple in the Alabama/Southeast riding community. We learn about his personal life history in bikes, discuss old school bikes, e-bikes, riding styles, trails, and how he got so involved in the scene over time. Hope you enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/trailguru1/ https://www.instagram.com/n.e.a.b.a/ https://www.instagram.com/helloanniston/ https://www.facebook.com/marcus.g.tillman https://www.strava.com/athletes/979301?oq=marcus

The Gnar Gnome went to Spain for work and had to shred some Gnar while out there. We discuss the hero singletrack, gravel and road riding Costa Brava/Girona has to offer. We also have Major Dad aka David Brannen from the MTB Brethren join us for his story on getting into mountain biking, only doing it for one year, and then riding the Coldwater 50K! Just shows you how fast progression can happen when you get bit by the Gnarvana bug. Lastly catch up with our co-host MTB Lawyer on his latest training for unbound and much more.
