Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. I'm

Jonathan Ellsworth and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at

blisterreview.com. Today we are talking about big balls, flat pedals, crankworks, and a whole lot more with Lindsay Richter, who is the founder of Ladies All Ride.

And I recorded this conversation with Lindsay yesterday evening just after she had finished riding A-line at Whistler for three hours with 200 women,

which frankly just sounds like one of the coolest things that's happened this biking season,

and it's been a season filled with lots of very cool things.

So you're going to be hearing more about that in this conversation, but also Lindsay has

one hell of a story herself, and what she and her team at Ladies All Ride have created

is incredibly inspiring, much needed, and I think should serve as a bit of a blueprint for other sports in the outdoor industry.

Now, before we get going here, I want to give a shout out to a few of our newest Blister Plus members,

including Kenny from Seattle, Washington, Catherine from Olympic Valley, California,

Janiel from Auburn, Washington,

Jake, who is the VP of product at NV Composites.

Jake just renewed his membership.

Avery, who is a comp skier from right here in Crested Butte.

Welcome, Avery.

We've got Hudson from South Salem, Ohio, Kevin from Knoxville, Tennessee,

Wyatt from Peru, Vermont just renewed his membership, and finally for today I want to welcome

Thomas from Newport, Arizona. So whether you just like to ride bikes on your local trails at home, or you like to hit

A-line at Whistler, or maybe you've got an upcoming bike trip to Switzerland on the calendar,

well, do yourself a favor and take one minute to click the Blister Plus link in the show
