Emyr Davies is a professional mountain bike rider from Llanberis, Wales. This episode contains some crazy stories from Emyr's career, from having a TV show made about his first season on the World Cup circuit, growing up in a rural part of Wales through to dealing with the gnarly after effects of consecutive concussions... I want to say a huge thank you to Emyr for being so open and honest on this episode. Some of the things discussed took real balls to speak out about and, as we also talk about in the podcast it's not in his personality to talk openly.

Alex Trimnell is the managing director of Muc-Off Ltd. Muc-Off was created by Alex's Father who spotted a gap in the market for a bike cleaner that wasn't corrosive on parts and was safe on the environment. On this episode we discuss how Alex has continued to grow the business after his Father passed away in 2004, research and development, the struggles that come with running a large business and anything and everything in-between. If, like me you thought Muc-Off was owned and operated by a bunch of men in suits then I think this episode will surprise you!
Living with an entrepreneur can't be easy! Alex's wife Flavia must be a saint to support him along the journey too...
Enjoy!

Earlier this year Alex, James, Ernie and I ran into some trouble whilst on a canoeing trip in Scotland. In fact, we almost lost our lives to a famous body of water called Loch Ness! A few days after the event we sat down to talk about our experience in an episode of the podcast called 'Always Prepare For The Worst'. The episode proved extremely popular and is one of the most downloaded episodes to date, it also raised awareness for being prepared when heading out for a walk, run, ride or whatever adventure you choose.
If you have listened to the episode you would know that the RNLI played a huge part in saving our lives. We were in the water for approximately 45-50mins. James and Alex were rushed to hospital in separate police cars whilst I was air lifted from the water and taken directly to hospital with hypothermia and in severe shock. If it wasn't for the RNLI and such services we would not be here today, they acted perfectly and efficiently to save our lives.
The RNLI is run entirely on donations and by volunteers so, we thought it was only fair to do something out of our comfort zones to raise some money for this incredible service. After all, you never know when you or a loved one might need to count on these services...

The original Calibre Bossnut first hit the market in 2015. Described by the press as "a hugely important mountain bike" with it's quality spec and very competitive price point, the Bossnut proved that a new bike doesn't have to cost multiple thousands of pounds. Since then the Calibre brand has grown, they have increased the team, won multiple awards and have some big name athletes riding their products. Although Calibre falls under the Go Outdoors banner it may come as a surprise to most that Calibre was actually started by todays podcast guest Mike Sanderson.
Mike Sanderson is the Calibre brand manager and is responsible for breaking down the entry level barrier to mountain biking. He developed the entire Calibre brand single handedly in the early days and on todays episode we discuss why he decided that mountain biking needed the Bossnut, how the brand has grown, what goes in to speccing/developing a £1000 full suspension mountain bike, take a look at the new 2020 Calibre Bossnut plus much more... I hope you all enjoy the episode and I'd love to hear your feedback!
