Welcome to the Pink Bike Podcast.

We are remote from a disclosed location.

We can tell everybody that's listening that we're in Bentonville, Arkansas, doing some field testing.

We won't be going too deep into what exactly we have for bikes yet, but we're here.

I've got Dario de Julio, Matt Beer, Stefan Pelletier. We've been getting acclimated,

went on our first ride yesterday. And yeah, what did you guys think? How is the, we're out of the Pacific Northwest bubble. We always get called out. It might be the wrong word, but sometimes people feel like they want to call us out and say we live in the wrong place because it's too good where we live. We live in the right place, but it's good to diversify. Yeah, it's different here.

I had so much fun. It was good. It feels like. At one point, one of us said it's like, it's like hanging out with your friends in high school where you're just like ripping around town on bikes doing like little stunts and it feels that way it's

pretty fun yeah it feels like we went back in seasons yesterday so it was just like hooting around

which is fun yeah it's kind of like urban mountain biking it is mountain biking and it's like in the hills

and uh forest but it's in between residential and like town stuff.

And there's just little trails everywhere.

Like anywhere you look, there's trails connecting things.

Rollers, yeah, there must be more rollers per square mile than most places in the world.

Like there's so many little mini roller gaps and pump tracky things.

It's cool.

It's also way rougher than I expected. Like way was a lot of rock a lot of rock. It's quite rock. Yeah. Yeah. I was chatting

with her next door number this morning and he he commutes to work via mountain bike trail,

which is pretty cool. Yeah, I was going to say there's almost like two types of trail bed.

It was like pretty polished single track or like some kind of jump roller section and then like

heinous bush technical rock.

So it was like pretty polarizing.

A lot of square edge hits.
