Downtime Goes Downhill (Racing) – Episode Three – Racing

Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast

Welcome to Downtime Goes Downhill, a podcast mini-series that’s going to take you with us as we have a go at racing downhill at both a regional and national level. Chris, Jonathan and Ben are three different riders, with different abilities, strengths, weaknesses, goals and fears. We’ll share our preparation, training and setup. You’ll hear all about our experiences at the races, good and bad. We’ll also be bringing in some of the best in the world to help us improve throughout the year, so hopefully there will be heaps to learn too. Downtime Goes Downhill wouldn’t be happening without the support of some incredible brands. So a massive thanks to Canyon bikes, Fox suspension, Wahoo Fitness, Fox clothing and protection, Maxxis tyres, Magura brakes and We Are One Composites wheels. This is episode three and we’re going racing! We sit down for a chat after practice and also after race day to debrief on how it all went. Hear about our different approaches to the weekend, our results, how we feel about them and what we plan to do next. Also a quick thank you to everyone who’s been in touch, it’s great to hear how many of you are following our season. We really hope you’re enjoying coming on this ride with us, so sit back, hit play and listen to episode one of Downtime Goes Downhill.
