Here at Mountain Bike Radio, we've been anxiously awaiting the light beer taste test. The Big Livers crew of Jeff, Jonesy, and Pat are trying out something new. They've picked out Michelob 64, Bud Select 55, Bud Select, and Michelob Ultra to do a blind taste test.
Pat and Jonesy taste the beers, give some damn funny comments, and don't hold back on their critiques. You'll hear the following quotes and much more: "It has a faint beer taste," "If you're not much of a beer drinker, but you kinda like the taste occasionally on a hot day."

May 7, 2014 - The newest show to the MBR lineup.
This episode is a repost from the new show, MTB Strength Coach Podcast. They are restarting their popular podcast and you can find it here on Mountain Bike Radio. Expect to hear a brand new episode soon!
In this episode, James talks with fellow strength coach Al Painter of Integrate Performance Fitness. Coach Al works with mainly triathletes and century road cyclists, as well as some mountain bikers, using a lot of the same principles and influences as James does.
What Coach Al and his clients have found is that getting stronger has helped them ride longer, faster and avoid a lot of the overuse injuries that traditionally plague riders who log as many miles as they do. It is an interesting look at how someone applies a lot of the things James discusses to true endurance athletes and how a lot of mountain bikers who see themselves as “endurance athletes” can learn something from their experience.
Coach Al and James cover a lot of ground on this podcast, including:

If you've been thinking about carbon wheels, this is your episode. Matt spends a good chunk of the episode drooling over his new Nox Composites wheels. If you think he's just kissing up to Nox, you haven't listened to the show. Matt isn't real good at kissing up.
Listen to this and then shoot Brad over at Nox an email to let him know you heard about them on JRA - brad@noxcomposites.com. He's happy to answer any questions or comments too.
If you're a short woman and wondering about a bike, listen in to hear what they have to say. As usual, this episode is good. You should listen and give it some good word of mouth.
