Adventure, Bicycling, Camping, Cargo, Fun, Mountain Biking, The Law, Touring, Travel, Urban Design, Weather

He’s baaaaack!  Terry Campbell, brother of Sean Campbell of The Beer Mongers (at SE Division & 12th!) drops by the brand new garage studio to share his exploits with some friends bikepacknig through Eastern Oregon’s Owyhee Canyonlands.  We ask him what it takes to do a trip like that, he shares stories about being sought out by the local state trooper, and we also ask him about his thoughts on commuting and being social when he’s riding around town.

Also: Brock went to Mexico, and Aaron got into an argument, and we moved into a new studio with SO MUCH SPACE

Brock went to Louisville, Kentucky for work, but ended up getting a chance to chat with Chris Glasser from Bicycling for Louisville about what he likes about Portland, Boston, and, of course, Louisville.  Their chat on the eighth floor of the Galt House Hotel, overlooking the expansive parking garage of a certain sports stadium, is presented here!  Thanks to Chris for joining the show’s roster, and for forgiving our ignorance of his position in the local advocacy scene.  He’s a good guy!
