Old Pueblo MTB is a mountain bike group based in Tucson, AZ. that hosts multiple group rides every week. The group communicates primarily through their Facebook page which has 4,000+ members.
The episode features ‘The Travis Williams’ (aka Captain Enthusiasm) who is one of the key administrators of Old Pueblo MTB. In addition to learning all about Old Pueblo MTB… the boys and Travis discuss lots of interesting topics including the inspiring story of Travis’ recovery from a heart attack and his journey back to the trail.
There’s also a section in this podcast where we delve a bit into the topic of e-mtb’s. Travis shares how he thinks many e-bike naysayers suffer from the “broccoli-effect”. Meaning, they hate e-bikes, but they’ve never tried one (like kids often are with broccoli). If that’s you, we urge you to try out an e-mtb… we suspect you might come away with a different perspective.
