ABOUT THE EPISODEHere's the answer to some of your questions about the recent happenings around the Potato Farm. Word is that the crew got fired at the coal mine, but that can neither be confirmed or denied. Plus, they may end up at a beet farm in the future…you just never know. The gang takes a step back and explains a lot of what has been woven into the years of Just Riding Along.

ABOUT DIRT FEST
Maurice and Elaine Tierney started Dirt Rag in 1989, creating a magazine that provided an inclusive forum where readers shared their stoke for the riding, culture, and lifestyle of mountain biking. After having a great time at the legendary Jim Thorpe Mountain Bike Weekend, the pair decided that Dirt Rag was in a position to translate the magazine's in-print stoke to an in-person "gathering of the tribe."
The first edition of Dirt Fest took place in 1991 at Camp Soles, a YMCA youth camp east of Pittsburgh. The original event was decidedly chill. There was no vendor expo bristling with the bleeding edge of bicycle technology. Demo rides amounted to swapping bikes with a newfound friend. There was a lake, a bonfire, and a bicycle polo field. Nighttime entertainment consisted of an attendee strumming a guitar at the group bonfire—a far cry from The Earthtones jamming for a circus tent full of partying mountain bikers.
