I'm Pace McElvin and this is the With Pace podcast.

I was actually very hopeful when it, when it first happened, that I would come back stronger.

And I'm going to be honest, man, it's been such an uphill battle I would say mentally I think I'm actually doing worse now than right after it happened and I think I think it's just because right after the accident I was so hopeful for the second half of the season. Yeah.

Hello, everyone and welcome back.

Today we have the Dylan Johnson episode.

I've wanted to do this interview for years now, honestly.

We've had a couple of close misses.

Almost made it happen one year ago here in Bentonville.

We have had him on to help preview the Unbound 200 earlier this year.

But for quite some time now, I've wanted to sit down with Dylan and really get to know him beyond the YouTube videos, beyond the marginal gains, uh, beyond his bonk bros podcast, um, just get an

idea of how he got to where he is today, the trajectory and story as he sees it.

Of course, the nuts and bolts of making his videos, which have been seen far and wide.

And frankly, I think steered how many of us look at the sport and bike setup.

He's certainly added a huge amount to the conversation.

And I wanted to hear the story behind all of that

and just get to know him personally a little bit better.

So I'm really appreciative that he gave us so much time today.

This recording was kind of broken up into two parts because we started it out in one studio in town and unfortunately had to move out of it.

There was another event coming in.

So we relocated at the house here, which doesn't have nearly as good of acoustics.

So if it sounds a little bit echoey right now during the intro too, that's why.

Sorry about that.
