ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mountain bike racing in Wyoming? A 24-hour race in Wyoming? Yes to both. Evan O'Toole is one of the directors of the new Two Moon 24 at Glendo State Park in East Central Wyoming. Glendo State Park is home to some new, great singletrack and is conveniently located off of I-25 only 200 miles north of Denver.
Evan is a long time Mountain Bike Radio listener, so it's great to have him as a guest and have him share information about Wyoming's new 24 hour mountain bike race.
If you have any ideas for future guests or episodes, please contact us at ben@mountainbikeradio.com.

We want to hear from you! If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for the next episode, contact Matt at matt@mountainbikeradio.com. If you have a question that is centered around a particular thing you heard on MBR please send the show name and time in the show the confusion arose.

A LIST OF THINGS TO PACK-Toolbox -Shock pump -Tire pump - floor style -Tire pump for on bike use (CO2 can get spendy.) -Spare tubes - a lot. Paying retail on the road when you have them in a box at home is annoying. -Lube -Rags -Water bottles -Tire sealant -Spare tire that works tubeless -Derailleur hanger - one for every bike in the group. Attached to your hanger should be the appropiate speed quick link for trailside repair if need. You probably will need these at the same time. Attach them together with a bread tie. -Chain - one for every speed in the group -Spare chainring -Cooking supplies/food ready to eat. -Pour over coffee setup -Trailmap

ABOUT THE EPISODE
Mark brings you another great interview with a prominent US endurance racer. Dylan Johnson is a six-year veteran of the National Ultra Endurance Series at the young age of 21. He was the 2016 NUE Series Men's Champion after an interesting year that began with wins at Cohutta and the Mohican, continued with a mid season lull, and finished with a dramatic win to seal his series victory.
Mark and Dylan discuss a wide range of topics. Listen in as Dylan shares how he got started so young, some thoughts on training, racing, the upcoming season, and more. Dylan's voice may sound young, but it's clear that he's beyond his years in his attitude, focus, determination, and skill.
If you are a race director or racer who would like to hear your race report on an episode of The Last Aid Station, please contact Mark atMark@Mountainbikeradio.com.
