TdFF, MTB Tire Showdown at SBTGRVL, Healing4Howie, and AMA

Bonk Bros - A podcast by Bonk Bros - Thursdays

What up party people. We’ve got the full crew back in the studio again and Tyler even got himself a new mic so you can hopefully hear him better even when Dizzle is talking over everyone. We’re talking Tour de France Femmes, the emergence of mountain bike tires on the gravel scene with Keegan dominating SBTGRVL, we send all of our get well wishes to crowd favorite Howard Grotts who suffered some severe injuries after a wicked crash during the final stage of Breck Epic over the weekend, and then get into some rapid fire “ask me anything” listener questions. If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or slide your way into those Bonk Bros instagram DMs (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).
