Episode 94 - World Tour Crashes, Gravel Bikes at Paris Roubaix, BWR Utah Mishaps, and DJ and Scott are Local Bullies

What up party people. We had to record this one super early Monday morning so Scott could catch a flight to Cali for Tour of Redlands so if you’re a Patreon supporter this show is hitting y’alls earholes an extra couple days in advance. The conversations got a little off topic at times but for the most part we’re talking gnarly World Tour crashes, another absolute domination performance at Paris Roubaix, Dizzle’s BWR Utah mishaps, and would someone call the bully police on Scott and DJ already for beating up on another contingent of juniors and middle-aged weekend warriors at their local races again.

If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [e-mail] or you can holla at ya boys on the Bonk Bros insta (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Alright let’s get this pod started already.
