The Just Riding Along Show

Here's a fun story about this episode- We did our usual audio stuff setup and a test recording. Sounds good, lets rip... then the actual episode recorded through Matt's computer microphone. Seriously... when we say that stuff works, we change nothing, then it stops working, this is the shit I'm talking about. We're using an entirely different program next week, so hopefully the technical difficult...

This week's episode sounds a little breathy because I (Andrea) tried a sound equalizing filter. It's got some compromises... like making breathing noises louder.  This week, Matt talks Enduro, Andrea was almost eaten by a mountain lion (again?), and Kenny did moto stuff as usual. They're heavy on the new shit and light on listner content, so head over to the JRAshow.com website and fill out the co...

In this week's episode, Matt raced the Salida Enduro and then it's the usual moto and hunting talk.  New Shit:  Kenny drops a bomb about the Delta/Dimension stem recall. Spoiler alert- they're lying when they say that "no injuries have been reported." Oh yeah, and if you came here just for this, it starts at about 22 minutes in. We've been sitting on this a while, and everyone needs to know.  Hydr...

Welcome to a thrownback from 10 years ago! Amazingly enough, the bike parts have changed, but the advice hasn't. The sound on this one is a little echo-y since at the time, we recorded ourselves sitting around a single microphone at a kitchen table. It's still got all the JRA you crave, though.  In this episode, the crew makes a pretty amazing prediction when it comes to fork lockouts followed by...

In this week's episode, Kenny may have bought a new (to him) motorcycle, and Andrea may not have crashed it yet.

Matt wanted to call it "process 134," but this one fits better if you listen all the way to the end.  In host news, Kenny went to Little Moab, Andrea QOM poaches and gives out a gas stove tip that will change your life, and Matt rode his new Stigmata and his moto. Oh yeah, and Andrea gets mad because most women's work pants are made to look "sexy."  New Shit: Fox bike division sales down 43% The U...

Yeah, it's been a week. This episode is basically unedited, so you get to hear the UMs and stuff that's usually trimmed out.  This week, we talk about all the usual stuff, like Kenny riding his fatbike, Matt buying another Land Rover, and Andrea singlespeeding and spending more time alone in the woods. New shit: Meaty rice grown in a lab Shimano sales down 30% Tubolite Diamana tire liner Giro Coal...

Kenny wasn't vibing with the new show format, so they're back to old style banter first about things like supplements, bike rides, Rovers, birthdays, sketchy winter fatbiking, and people lying about tasty critters.  New Shit: Man sues Shimano and Trek for an injury sustained from his brake lever Zwift layoffs Wolftooth Components drop bar ReMote lever and Canadian distribution SRAM files patent fo...

We had some technical difficulties this week with sampling rates... the sound is a little off as a result. It's still high quality infotainment, though.  Matt kicks off the show by giving listeners a teaser that the crew never actually talks about later. We then talk about new shit and industry news before diving into some listener questions.
