ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Nathan, Tani, and Auk are back for the first episode of 2020. They lead things off with news and then get into an entire tire discussion. Get your riding hat on – thread counts, tire models, treads, brands, CushCore, and more. Then you get a little dash of suspension, a dollop of chains, with some fork offset thrown in for good measure.
The Path guys welcome all of your questions and encourage you to send them an email with the subject "Podcast Question" to podcast@thepathbikeshop.com.

ABOUT THE EPISODE
Jay sits down with Ben during lunch to discuss what makes the Park City area special and share what the Park City Point to Point is all about.
The Point to Point course is a true point 2 point. Thanks to the plethora of trails, you will never be on the same trail twice. You will be riding singletrack for over 90% of the race (that's a lot of 1-track) and the total distance is 75 miles with around 12,000′+- of climbing, all while traveling through two of the country's premier mountain resorts. It will challenge your mental prowess, yet it will have you grinning from ear to ear.
