You're listening to the Adventure Sports podcast.

We talk with adventures from around the globe to give you the inspiration you need to get started in the outdoors or keep moving if you're already there.

Now here's your host, Kurt Linville.

Hi, friends. Today is Tuesday, May 18th,

2026. So exciting. Hey, the growler is about to happen in Gunnison, Colorado. And if you don't know

what that is, it's an amazing bike race. They actually have multiple races for different ages and

lengths.

And anyway, look up to Growler.

It's super, super cool.

But that's what May means.

Something else that May means to me is I celebrate my own personal holiday.

May 15th is the Gunnison Sage Grouse Liberation Day. or maybe better said, my liberation day, because the gates open up, the sage grouse are no longer lecking, which means that the trails are open, the woods are open for all the kind of exploration that we want to do, and that's really super exciting. I hope exciting things are happening where you are.

Now, a couple episodes ago, I announced that I got new stickers and that anybody who wants to

have an Adventure Sports podcast sticker, all you have to do is email me at info atadventuresportspodcast.com and give me a mailing address. I'm going to send you

stickers. And if you want a bunch of stickers, maybe you're having an event or something, just let me know

how many you need. Otherwise, they'll give you a handful and have fun with them. Pass them out,

put them on your water bottles, whatever you like to do with your

stickers. And thank you also to everyone who already send in requests for stickers. They're on the way.

They'll be there soon. And actually, they're popular. A lot of people are asking for stickers.

So that's fantastic. And I have another announcement. It turns out that when I went from three episodes a week to two episodes a week,

the distance between interviews and publication date for each episode started getting too long.

And I don't like that.
