Local Roots: Mountain Bikes, Craft Beers, and Snowboards

Sports EN ↓ 70 episodes

Our wives told us we talk too much about bikes. So we started a podcast about all our favorite things. Mountain bikes, beers, snowboarding, and most importantly Michigan. Every week we explore some of our favorite cities in Michigan, the beers they make, the trails they have, or the hills you can shred. Local Root's Podcast is hosted by Larry Lynch and Brian Davis. This podcast is perfect for people who love to talk about:Mtb trailsMountain BikesSnowboardingMichigan's best mountain bike trailsMichigan's best breweriesCraft beerWhat's going in Grand Rapids, MiDevastating stories
