Welcome back friends. Genna is back for the third podcast in a row with MTB Shed Live. She will go over the ups and downs of her journey as we discuss her experience as a female cyclist. Almost everyone listening is a guy so its a great chance to gain a bit of understanding from their perspective to make group rides more fun for all of us. Anyhow, lets get into it.

Join us on this journey. Genna is headed out this week to embark on a 410 mile trip from STL to Kentucky (Indiana). Her #vanlife is recieving a new motor so she is tuning hers up on the way to get it. We'll discuss how she prepped, what she expects to happen, and why this journey is significant to her. Some van life stuff we'll prob come up as well. Shop the Shed online at www.MTBshed.com Socials: FB: @MTBshed Insta: @MountainBikeShed Gennas Insta: @G.Brockstar

Find a seat and join our friends from the Missouri Enduro Series. Matt Johnson, Jeff Powell, and Dave Elkan discuss the first two races at Greensfelder and Chubb before we get into some expectations for the Shepherd Mountain Enduro in Ironton, MO. If your not familiar that area is home to the highest point in Missouri and the steepest, gnarliest trails you will find in the Midwest located about an hour from St Louis.  Dave gets into his involvement with the Big Mountain Enduro and how he brought that experience to the MES leading to a national race as part of the overall series. This episode is packed with great info for those looking to race this series and what to expect (and you should expect to completely have your expectations blown away).
