Ep.11: Out With a BangHowdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕🌠Today, here in the Valley of the Dinos it's the Election Eve before the most important election in our lifetime -- or so they keep saying. This is when we, as Americans, leave milk and cookies out for Captain America before getting a rough and restless night of insomnia followed by going to the polls tomorrow. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for because you already know who you need to vote for. Instead, I've created an Election Mix that you can use while you wait your turn in line. I made it special with limited interruptions so that you can get a 30-minute power session in right before you go into the booth or drown out the smelly hippy standing next to you in line. Heck, you could even ride your mountain bike down to the city center and make a day of it. But here's to you, fellow American! Mr. Murphy and I salute you. Now, go make Uncle Sam proud!About FlowgnarFlowgnar, hosted by Kyle M. Bondo, is a music podcast for outdoor enthusiasts who need a soundtrack for their next adventure.

Then again on foot with Salomon Speedcross 6 trail shoes to make sure it can hold up to a good 5-mile trail running.

Ep.10: Paleo PowerhouseHowdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Today is one of those days where I didn't want to go outside. I wanted to stay inside, eat junk food, and watch YouTube all day. But if I skip Monday's ride, I'll most likely skip Tuesday's ride too. Then, before you know it, I've skipped half the week and now it's Thursday! Geesh! This is the theme of today's mix: doing it even when you don't want to. I get that you need to listen to your body and rest when it needs it. However, I've found that my body -- and those dark voices in my head -- can trick you into believing you need rest when what you really need is to hit the trail and knock the dirt off your dinosaur bones! So, that's what I'm going to do today. I'm going to go ride even though I don't want to. Are you with me? Then let's get this Paleo Powerhouse moving.

Ep.09: Evolutionary BottleneckHowdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕Today, I had to put myself in someone else's shoes after getting into a big argument with a best friend and realizing that I was the one in the wrong. What do about it? You do the only thing you can do, you ask for forgiveness! That is the lesson for today -- if something is bothering you don't keep it inside. Talk about it now! Second, if you do get into a fight and say something dumb it's not the end of the world. Once the hurt feelings calm down you can work it out but only if you realize that the only person you can control is YOU! Finally, and most importantly, when you do mess up (and you will), try saying you're sorry. It goes a long way.About FlowgnarFlowgnar, hosted by Kyle M.

Ep.08: Big Toothy GrinHowdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Today, I'm reminded of what Marcus Aurelius said about dwelling on problems: "Your days are numbered, and if you don't clear the clouds from your mind now you may never have another chance." What does that mean? You cannot dwell on failures and be dissatisfied with today because you may not have a tomorrow. You have to live your life as if every moment were your last. In other words, be thankful for today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. So if you woke up on this side of the dirt today I want you to put on your Big Toothy Grin and remind yourself to let that stuff go and get back to living in the moment. Are you with me? Then let's let that stuff go and get to it.About FlowgnarFlowgnar, hosted by Kyle M. Bondo, is a music podcast for outdoor enthusiasts who need a soundtrack for their next adventure.

Ep.07: Tar Pit BarbequeHowdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Yup, the voices have been extra loud this week. Between my personal experiences during 9/11 and too many funerals for friends who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, I'm feeling the full weight of being stuck in the tar pit of survivor's guilt. Thankfully, for me, mountain biking is my miracle. It allows me to leave some of that darkness out on the trail, one ride at a time. That is what today's mix is for me: processing dark thoughts and exercising them in my mind. I know it's going to take more than one ride to clear my head but thankfully this is an episode you can listen to more than once. I hope that the same thing can work for you.
