Summary
Happy Turkey Day! This is probably one of those podcasts where Aaron, Greg, and I will listen again in 20 years and think, “man, we didn’t know anything back then!” Why? Because we’re talking about mountain biking into old age, and all of us are under 40. Still, it was a fun conversation and hopefully an enlightening one where we talk about some of the things we’ve learned from mountain bikers much older and wiser than we are.
We also touch on Greg’s follow-up review of the Santa Cruz Bronson plus the things that are grinding our gears and stoking our spokes this week.

| 1:06.6 | connecting with Santa Cruz, learning their perspective and why they sort of built the bike the way they |

| 1:23.1 | you met with the folks there and talked about the Bronson and some of the other bikes. So |
