LIVE from El Bunker & The Pura Vida Cycling Charity Event

YogiTriathlete Podcast

We are thrilled to bring you today's episode, recorded live from El Bunker in Tambor, Costa Rica. El Bunker is the cycling hub for the local cycling community that we pair up with during the Pura Vida Cycling Challenge. We have talked about the beauty of this local community and the lifelong friendships that form almost instantaneously, and today, you all get to hear directly from a few of these special people. Pura Vida Cycling Challenge co-founder Dan Casey is my co-host and translator for this episode. It's heartfelt, funny, and connected despite the language barriers. We genuinely expect our guests' love and selflessness will come through to you loud and clear as you listen. Pro tip: If you are not fluent in Spanish or English, set up Google Translate on your phone as you stream the video on YouTube, and you'll hear the natural words of our wonderful friends.
