Summary

Miles is BACK! The first time we did an interview was in his van at the Bikepacking Summit in 2019. This year, thanks to COVID, we are relegated to Zoom, but that didn't stop us from having a good ole time. We sang, we laughed, and there was some really great chats about Bikepacking.com and other super interesting bike stuff that you won't want to miss! Including, but not limited to, the best shoes for bikepacking, thoughts on old mtb restorations, guidelines on submitted events and routes to Bikepacking.com, plus so much more.

Miles and I are friends and this conversation reflects that. We can get a little silly, but who couldn't use a little dose of that right now? I think we were able to squeak in some good information in between the silliness. I'd go far as to say that maybe this episode is the perfect blend of silly and serious, but I guess you will have to be the judge of that.

Most importantly, if you are anticipating a 2nd verse of the Bikes or Death Theme Song you're in luck! Just like the first episode Miles surprised me with a second verse, performed live on his guitalele. And I can tell you now, it's hot fire, but you'll have to wait to the very end of this episode to hear it.
