Okay, welcome everybody to Free Trail Friday.

Broadcasting live from Free Trail World Headquarters in my basement

here in Portland, Oregon, sitting next to my good friend and colleague, Zach Marion, Zach,

welcome to the studio. Welcome to headquarters. It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure. Thank you. Thanks for

having me. This is so cool, man. It makes me feel like I really am a talk radio host, as I've always dreamt of being in my life. You're putting together something pretty awesome. Something pretty awesome. Well, dude, thank you for your assistance today. Hello to everybody watching at home. Of course, this is Free Trail Friday. My name is Dylan Bowman, joined by my friend Zach Marion, who you'll get to know here very well, not only today, but this whole weekend.

He's going to be helping us out, creating great content and covering the race.

So big thank you to Zach for being here.

Big thank you to everybody else who is watching us live.

Make sure you get in the chat.

It's going to be hard for me to monitor the chat

today. We don't have anybody behind the scenes that's going to be feeding me questions. So I appreciate

you being here. And we're going to sort of get right to the point. Of course, I am in full race

director mode right now. And we've got a lot going on ahead of this weekend's Gorge Waterfalls,

100K and 50K,

happening both Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend in Cascade Locks, Oregon.

The race is back after five years.

There was a fire, of course, back in 2017.

The race has not happened since.

Free Trail, along with daybreak racing, has taken it over, and we're looking forward to a great weekend.

Before we get to it, a quick thank you to our sponsor, as always, for Free Trail Friday.

Ora Ring, the best wearable tech in the world.

You guys have heard me talk about it.
