| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to the single tracks podcast. My name is Jeff, and today Leah and Matt and I are going to be |
| 0:07.4 | sharing some tips and hacks for finding more time to ride your mountain bike. So we recently conducted a |
| 0:14.2 | survey of single tracks readers and asked them what their biggest personal challenge was |
| 0:19.7 | with regards to mountain biking. And by far, |
| 0:23.1 | most of you said it was finding time to ride. So while it might seem like everyone else has |

| 1:15.4 | Like I said at the beginning, it's a fun thing to do. |
| 1:18.3 | And we all want to just have more fun. |
| 1:20.7 | So let's... |
| 1:21.7 | More fun. |

| 1:23.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:24.5 | So yeah, let's talk about some of the ways. |
