From our women centric writer Cheri Felix

I swore to myself last night that I would go to sleep early. No Mountain Flyer or Dirt Rag. No Bike Magazine. But then I watched Amanda Zackem’s film about Georgena Terry and then before I knew it I was watching videos about how bikes are made and bike geometry and the goal of early to bed went out the window.

Mountain Bike Radio follows up with Dirk Friel about his recent Run in with a Road Rager in Longmont. Feel free to listen to it all or time-warp ahead to about minute 34 in the interview where he covers the incident linked above.
