It’s a Ride Pubcast
Beer, bikes and bad decisions. On It’s a Ride Pubcast, James, Tim and luke shoot the sh*t about anything and everything from the wild world of mountain biking—grimy trails, sketchy descents, gear that rocks (or sucks), and the stories that come with it all. All this while we crack open and crush some of the best craft beers the Southeast of England’s got brewing. So, grab a pint, tune in, and ride the chaos with us. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s one hell of a ride.

Tim cracks open a fruity little number that leaves the gang wondering if they should be on a tropical beach somewhere. James finds himself caught in the rain. Meanwhile, Luke delivers a flippin good review with questionable references does he regret it? Of course not. Expect laughs, un educated guesses and a flip or two in this juicy installment!

This episode, we have no idea what the fork happened.Luke brings a tasty Polly’s Brew to the table, TF tuned got Forked Over. Tim needs a brake (see what we did there?), and James strings the crew along with his favorite hammock. It’s chaotic, cozy, and just the right amount of unhinged.

James dives mouth-first into an American Pale Ale from Goodwood Brewery, because someone has to do the hard work. Meanwhile, Luke continues his eerie streak of predictions, and we're starting to suspect he’s hiding a mountain bike-themed crystal ball under his helmet. Tim gets a bit too cozy with a pair of gloves in what's supposed to be a "review"—but honestly, it feels more like a love story. And finally, we send a big, sweaty hug of support to Richard Hunt on his epic charity endeavour. Go get 'em, Rich!
