Summary

Welcome to Downtime Goes Downhill, a podcast mini-series that’s bringing you along for the ride, as we have a go at racing downhill.

Downtime Goes Downhill wouldn’t have happened without the support of some incredible brands. So a massive thanks to Canyon bikes, Fox suspension, Wahoo Fitness, Fox clothing and protection, Maxxis tyres, Magura brakes and We Are One Composites wheels.

Downtime Goes Downhill is back for the final time ever. As the year comes to an end, so does our time together racing downhill. We’ll be sharing our experience at the final race of the season, along with the lessons we’ve learned from this project and discussing our plans for the future. So sit back, hit play and listen to Downtime Goes Downhill for the final time, with me, Ben and Jonny.
