Talk Gnarly To Me

by Julia Biddle & Steph McMillan

Welcome to Talk Gnarly To Me. We're Julia and Steph, two Arizona desert riders who willingly spend our free time bouncing through rock gardens, debating bike setups, and making questionable decisions in the name of progression. This podcast is for anyone who loves mountain biking, technical terrain, and the stories that come with it. We'll be talking trail wins, trail fails, gear, confidence, fear, crashes, line choices, desert riding, and whatever mountain bike rabbit hole we're currently obsessed with. No pro tips from elite racers. No pretending we've got it all figured out. Just two women who love riding tech, love talking about it, and somehow always have something to say. So grab a post-ride beverage, clean the dust off your shins, and join us. This is Talk Gnarly To Me.
