Ep 57 - Man vs Lakes (and How To Run Up A Mountain)
Send us Fan MailHello Do-Badders! On today's Podcast Jody and David will open in a way which sounds on topic and then veer wildly, wildly off course for the first part discussing some very important questions. Let's just say if you want to know what 'Peeping Mo' is a new slang term for then the intro to this Podcast will be exceptionally important to you. The discussion then falls quickly onto David's Beerathon where they tease potential new additions before falling back on topic with David's Man vs Lake's course review. How to deal with downhill sections of a course provides an unusually useful element to this podcast until they stumble upon some more Strava segment revelations, urging Do-Badders to do the same. Also in this Podcast they respond to a letter!
