Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: https://gmbn.eu/DSS546

This week on the GMBN Dirt Shed Show, Rich Payne is joined by James Pickering to dive into the world of Type 2 Fun. You know, that kind of fun that feels terrible in the moment but amazing afterwards! From gruelling winter training rides to 24-hour challenges, we discuss why mountain bikers keep chasing this strange mix of suffering and satisfaction. Plus, we’ve got all the usual Dirt Shed goodness: MTB News, Sickest Thing, Hacks & Bodges, Things We Liked, Caption Contest, and of course…the Bike Vault!
