| 0:00.0 | Something unexpected has arrived in Happy Meal. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hello Kitty and friends are teaming up for the ultimate collab. |
| 0:08.3 | Joining your little ones on a fun-fueled adventure. Some fun, some food, it's all inside this happy meal. |
| 0:16.3 | Until the 2nd of February from 11am includes one pre-selected book or toy whilst it's last. |
| 0:20.2 | Hey everybody, welcome to the single tracks podcast. |
| 0:23.4 | My name is Jeff, and if you're joining us today, this is part two of a story that we started |
| 0:29.8 | last week about my own personal 29 Trails in 29 Days Challenge. |
| 0:35.8 | If you missed the first half, you can definitely go back and pick that up, |
| 0:40.7 | but if not, don't worry, you're not going to be too lost. So it's day 20 of my 29 trails in 29 days |
| 0:47.7 | challenge. And I'm only 15 trails in, so halfway there. So today I drove to Conyers, Georgia, and the Georgia International |
| 0:56.7 | Horse Park, home of the 1996 Olympic mountain bike course. It's the only Olympic course on |
| 1:03.2 | U.S. soil, which is pretty exciting. But for those of us who live in the area, we sometimes |
| 1:07.8 | take it for granted. There used to be an annual 24-hour race on the |
| 1:11.6 | course, which was called 24 Houniers. And for those who watched the documentary 24-Solo, |
| 1:17.8 | it's the same course where Chris Etoff races for his seventh world championship 24-hour solo race. |
| 1:25.2 | Shortly after the Olympics, the course fell into disrepair, and Leah tells me she |
| 1:29.3 | couldn't even follow the trail just a year later. Fortunately, the local Sorba chapter |
| 1:34.4 | picked up the ball and continues to maintain the trails today. Of course, there have been a few |
| 1:39.3 | changes since the 1996 games, but you can still see the wooden TV camera platforms placed at strategic turns, |
| 1:46.6 | and the yellow course boundaries are still painted onto the granite. For my ride, I decided to start |
| 1:51.8 | on the steeplechase loop, which begins in the field beside the main parking lot. I've written here |
| 1:56.8 | dozens of times, but for some reason I started going the wrong direction on the trail, ignoring the wrong way signs along the way. |
| 2:03.6 | Oh well, I only ran into one other mountain biker and a trail runner, and neither of them seemed to mind. |
