| 0:20.1 | Hey everybody, welcome to the single tracks podcast. My name is Jeff and today Aaron and I are going to be |
| 0:25.9 | talking about responsible trail riding, specifically talking about mountain biking since this is a |
| 0:32.3 | mountain bike podcast. So before we get started, I want to note that the stuff we're going to talk about, none of this stuff is like hard and fast rules. |
