The Just Riding Along Show

Kenny is on vacation this week, so Matt and Andrea wait until Sunday afternoon to record this week's episode. Matt has a new bike to talk about, and Andrea talks about her week in Memphis. Then, it's off to new shit and listener questions.

This week, Andrea is in Memphis. Tune in to hear about why Matt hates the term "Trials Master", where Kenny rode his moto, and some deep thoughts on pro athletes along with 32'' wheels.

This week, Matt and Kenny rode wheeled things and Andrea had another carpal tunnel surgery. They share all the details and then get into a boatload of new shit.

This episode is just the boys. Matt gets a new truck, Kenny goes on more moto adventures, and we discuss the idea of when is a price just too good to be good.

This week, Matt rode gravel, Kenny rode in the desert, and Andrea had another wild cat encounter when a bobcat attempted to hunt her chickens just hours before recording. After that, it's a fair bit of new shit, including some Spot Bikes vs. Gates Carbon Drive drama, fancy cranks, and the NEW lightest carbon wheelset record holder. They wrap it up with a discussion about where to ride on Colorado during the first week of September.

This week, Matt hasn't ridden because he assisted Andrea with an(other) epic animal pack-out, Andrea tells the full mountian lion hunt story, and Kenny rode his bike in St. George. After that, there was plenty of the usual new shit.

This week, Andrea has some exciting news in her years-long mountain lion hunting quest. Matt killed some rubber, and Kenny rode motos with friends. Andrea takes a mid-show break while Kenny and Matt discuss new shit, then the whole crew discusses some listener submitted questions. If you have anything you'd like to hear about on air, be sure to fill out our web contact form at jrashow.com!

Everyone's up to their usual shenanigans this week- Kenny is moto-ing, Matt has shit for sale, and Andrea is learning fun and exciting things about endocrinology. New shit abounds!

What's Up? Chicken Butt. That's what Kenny wants to deep fry, apparently. It's a short one tonight, as the cycling news machine is finally taking it's Winter nap (along with listener questions).

This week, the hosts have a spirited discussion about e-bike manufacturers that are breaking rules that no one seems to care about. After that, the usual new shit and ranting and chain wax discussions.

Matt said this episode was brought to you by fire, but I made an executive decision to change it because I'm a power-hungry editor. (It's just Matt and Kenny this week... I had to take a mental health break)

Tonight, there's plenty of host content followed by a single listener question that sparks a long and insightful answer about advice to the new owners of a bike shop.

This week, the crew talks motos, firearms and firearm accessories, when you should replace shocks on your truck, and even some bikes!

This week, Andrea tries to give herself a fingerectomy, Matt does moto stuff, and Kenny rode his bike! This is our last episode for 2025. See you next year!

I don't know where Matt comes up with these titles, but here we are. Yeah, you heard it right- I got everythig edited and uploaded then realized I forgot to add the intro/outro. I blame it on nearly cutting the entire pad off of my right thumb a couple of days ago.

Here's a long one to make up for that short one you got last week. That's what she said. Ha!

It's a short and sweet episode with Matt and Andrea this week. They talk truck stuff, new shit, and answer a couple of listener questions.

The regular gang is back in this week. Matt amnd Kenny have some moto stories, our Patron members are omniscient with Andrea actually having a skunk in her trap, and we cover a decent bit of new stuff with a hot debate on whether or not 88° is actually radial. Listen to the show and then submit your question for next week here: https://www.justridingalongshow.com/ ...and we PROMISE you will never receive any "marketing or promotional materials" that the contact form warns you about!

It's time for another Patron takeover episode! Nikki, Jack, Jake, and Clayton sub in for the crew while Matt and Andrea are out looking for elk. This week, they talk about Strava, cold weather riding/trainering, Slack conversations, and more!

Word of advice- don't make strange noises in the dark outside of Matt and Andrea's house. Unless you're Ed the cat. He gets a pass. It's back to the usual show this week after Kenny's family vacation called for a week off.

This week Matt has light updates, Kenny went camping, and Andrea wants to tell you about her beaver. At some point in the show, Matt promises a link to something in the show notes. Now Andrea can't find what it was without re-listening to the entire episode. It'll just be a mystery.

This week we talk some bikes, some listener questions, Andrea rights her wrongs on how to read listener questions, and more. As winter moves in and with injury afoot the sustenance is slim but the banter is real.

This week we have a full house with some loose screws and still missing a nut. Kenny gets to tell the woes of criminal activity at one his shops, Matt has little updates but all his bikes are for sale, and Andrea has some stories about her beaver.

This week, we talk about the Rapture. Wait, no... the RUPTURE. Not Rapture.

Another week without Andrea. We talk front derailleur availability, Jeep stuff, and quite honestly a lot more but Matt forgot as this was recorded 10 days and is rushing through this. Next week the crew is all together and will have some great things to talk about, that aren't so great.

The boys show continues, but this week Matt and Kenny talk about some bikes, answer a good listener question, and talk about how easy-to-use installment plans are akin to the new rent to own model of the past.

This is the beginning of the annual boys night series when Andrea is out hunting. This leaves Matt and Kenny to their own devices, for better or worse. This week you get to hear about trim, how to drink whiskey and Coke hands free, and some general philosophisation. Sorry, no tips on how to drive your car this week.

Hey there loyal listener... just wanted to let you all know that the rest of September's Episodes are up to Matt to record, edit, and post. They may be on different days. They may be missing. They may sound different. It's your yearly September adventure while I (Andrea) go out in the wilderness to find the reset button for my brain. And hunt elk. Enjoy!

It's a long one this week. Matt and Kenny get way too in to talking about car tires. Skip ahead if your eyes glaze over, but don't miss out on Matt going full Winnie the Pooh at about 22 minutes in. There's not a lot of new stuff happening, so the crew takes on a multi-part listener question that they skipped last week. Somehow the entire episode is just car tires and questions from one listener. No kidding.

Matt rode a lot of bikes this week, Kenny Moto'd again, and Andrea rode and worked at Leadvelo Bicicasa during the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race New shit: New Colors for the Otso Waheela Updated Norco Revolver Spy shots for new DH stuff Trek releases new Fuels Listener Questions: Is it time to stop calling the LT100 a mountain bike race? I have some suggestions for Kenny's moto

As the title says, this one is heavy on the driving advice from Kenny. Other than that, he tells moto stories. Matt hauled around some bikes, and Andrea is feeling better, outrunning storms (almost), and is heading to Leadville to work before the LT100 MTB race. New shit: The UCI is dumb Vertical Helium Race is the lightest dropper post, ever LJB Suspension made a bike with at least 500 pivots 32" wheels. Get ready to listen to the anti-29er arguments all over again Listener Stuff: What do you think about driving with flashers on? Anything new about working with individuals with prosthetics?

This episode is mostly Host Nuggets. Hear about Matt's bike rides, Andrea's surgery, and Kenny's moto lay-down. After that, we've got a little new shit and a listener question.

Giardia and surgery and motos, oh my!

Encouraged by whiskey and the wishes of our listeners to hear more unhinged Kenny content, Kenny starts his new series about operating motor vehicles. Matt worked on his jeep, and Andrea's garden and chickens had some small setbacks.

Andrea is back this week with a new scratch on the 4Runner, Matt went river surfing again, and Kenny did his usual moto thing. They then dive in to new shit from Canyon, SRAM, and a listener question about a new e-bike that's actually more of an e-moto. Sort of. And, for your viewing pleasure, here's the AI-generated show notes that are so vague they could basically be used for any of our episodes...

Andrea's taking a mental health break, so Matt and Kenny go at it alone in this one.

This week, Matt and Andrea talk about their e-bike adventure ride, Kenny talks motos and shop stuff, and they discuss the magic of moving from Memphis to The West (a good tie-in to the listener question about the proposed selling of public lands). New shit from Shimano, KS, Specialized, and more! Listener comments, thanks, and a question that leads Andrea on to her latest conspiracy theory. Wait... is it only a theory if it's true? What do you think?

The crew is getting back into the groove this week. Matt went to Memphis, Kenny recovered from his flu, and Andrea is feeling better... at least physically.

Kenny is out sick this week, so it's just Matt and Andrea in a shorty to give you your weekly JRA fix. What long legged XC bike should Andrea get once she can ride again, and how should she build it? Matt is grouchy as usual. They talk new shit and whatnot.

Sorry this one is a few hours late- I'm having a bad carpal tunnel flare-up in both hands. Note for the future- don't remove/install tires with cushcore if you have carpal tunnel. Anyways... This week, the crew talks favorite bikes, new shit, and reads about some listeners' old favorites.

Matt had a boring week, Kenny drops knowledge about snake movement, and Andrea went for a birthday adventure. After that, it's on to New Shit and a listener submission about a favorite bike.

This one's what you expect from the crew's usual stuff- chickens, Matt overexplains things, Kenny inherits a munted moto, and Andrea is recovering from the bike shop funk. We've got the old favorites, too- new shit we probably hate and some listener questions and commentary.

About half of this episode is rants from all three hosts. Mostly Kenny, but the other two have thoughts as well. After rants, they fire off some new shit and answer some questions from Patrons.

This week, Matt has Man Flu and coughs a lot, Kenny gets a visit from an Apache Helicopter, and Andrea gets some news about her mom mid-episode. Everything else is the usual JRA...

Host Nuggets: Matt- Went for an e-bike ride and has some strong opinions about mullet bikes. Also, his Land Rover is for sale. Someone buy this thing so Andrea has more room for plants and chickens. Kenny- Went double moto Andrea- talks more than she has in the last 10 episodes combined. Buckle up and get ready to hear about chickens, plants, and turkey hunting. New Shit: Arnie Nashbar passed away Revel Bikes closes Updated Kona HeiHei Leatt pedals and stuff Abbey Tools Shop Crombie and Chain Whip Praxis Gearbox Prototype Listener Questions: The LAL Katana is cooler than you think
