Adele Dittus is attached to Brock romantically, and spent some time gathering a large group of friends to introduce them to the pleasures of bike camping. How did she get the idea, how did it go, and did she get burnt out on it?

Team Grilled By Bike. The Oregon Outback. What more needs to be said? Eric, JP, Eilif, & Ross party responsibly across the uninhabited lands of eastern Oregon, encountering mud, rain, fallen trees, and windfall burn barrels, while engaging in the throwing of sharp implements and the playing of table tennis. How did it go down? They tell us.
Stay tuned this week for field recordings of the crew’s adventure, curated by Eric Iverson. Find Grilled By Bike on instagram.

Tim Mooney from Pedalshift is back in town! Strangely, it’s seemingly impossible to get him into the same room as both Aaron AND Brock, so he muses on the possibility that they are the same person. We are joined by Adele Dittus as a cohost and discuss Portlandy things, long bike rides, and the definition of #notcheating when it comes to adventures.

Brad Davis from EcoSpeed and Reuben Deumling join us this week to talk about that darned technology most of us carry around in our pockets and how much technology you need in life to feel connected, informed, and happy. No phone? Smartphone? Dumb phone? We mull over the questions.
Reuben mentions the film from Carlton students: Disconnected.
We also grasp at the title of Nicholas Carr’s book The Glass Cage
Also: Aaron & Brock competed in Bike Scout over the weekend!
