Join us for a rollercoaster of experiences in this episode of "Road Adventures with Cycling Men of Leisure"! We'll start with the tale of our flight to Savannah—one of us basking in first-class comfort while the other got a taste of bourbon-induced economy class woes.

Our adventure takes a personal turn with a health scare that thankfully ends well, followed by the joy of reuniting with old friends and the vibrant Savannah Riverwalk. We’ll share heartwarming stories from fellow cyclists like Luke Senior and Junior, who inspire with their resilience. But not every moment is smooth pedaling; a blowout on a busy highway sends us scrambling for a quick fix, leading to an unforgettable roadside rescue mission.

Ever found yourself chuckling over cycling gear debates or daydreaming about the open road with fellow biking enthusiasts? Adam and I, Michael, are back at it, tossing opinions back and forth about the latest in cycling fashion (hello, DeBrim controversy) and gearing up for the BRAG 2024 with our freshly minted team jerseys. Tune in for a hearty mix of laughter and earnest preparation tales, as I reveal my packing quirks and a few cycling treasures that'll accompany me on this grand adventure.

Now, let's wheel into the heart of cycling community spirit and the importance of keeping our rides in prime condition. Sharing stories from my recent visit to Eric's Bike Shop, we underscore the value of supporting local shops and ensuring our bikes are road-ready, new chains included. Training hasn't been without its ups and downs, but rest assured, I'm keeping the humor in my stride as I confess the less-than-smooth progress in my regimen.

Completing our journey, we talk about our listener spotlight Owensboro, Kentucky, before pedaling towards the anticipation of the Atlanta to Savannah expedition. As we swap scuba diving stories and marvel at the practical magic of foldable helmets, we embrace the quirks of our diverse interests. Hang tight as we navigate a brief hiatus in our regular programming, but fear not—we're as committed as ever to return, post-June 9th, with more engaging yarns spun from our cycling and life escapades.
