Summary

Emyr Davies is a professional mountain bike rider from Llanberis, Wales. This episode contains some crazy stories from Emyr's career, from having a TV show made about his first season on the World Cup circuit, growing up in a rural part of Wales through to dealing with the gnarly after effects of consecutive concussions... 

I want to say a huge thank you to Emyr for being so open and honest on this episode. Some of the things discussed took real balls to speak out about and, as we also talk about in the podcast it's not in his personality to talk openly.
