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 be happening 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.
This is season two, episode two and I’m joined by my teammates, Jonny and Ben to share our experiences from the first race of the season. As you may have worked out from the intro, it didn’t quite go to plan. However, progress was made, we had a fun weekend and lessons were learned all round. So sit back, hit play and listen to Downtime Goes Downhill with me, Ben and Jonny.
You can also watch the episode on YouTube here.
