Send us Fan Mail Feeling adventurous? Come along for a ride that combines the exhilaration of an RV road trip with the intoxicating charm of Kentucky's bourbon country. From witnessing the fascinating process of bourbon-making at the Four Roses distillery to the historic explorations of Woodford, the oldest distillery in the U.S., it's a ride filled with unexpected turns and memorable moments.

There's a particular rhythm to a long ride, a space where conversation flows as freely as the landscape. That's the atmosphere Adam Baranski and Michael Sharp cultivate in their Road Adventures of Cycling Men of Leisure. This isn't a technical gear review or a training log, though the love for the sport is its undeniable heartbeat. Instead, it's the recorded essence of a friendship built on miles, where the journey itself is the destination. You'll hear the banter from a recent gravel grind, the reflective quiet after a hill climb, and stories that stretch far beyond the handlebars, touching on culture, society, and the peculiar places a bike can take you. Each episode feels like rolling alongside them, sharing in the unscripted laughs, the occasional hardship, and the simple, profound joy found on two wheels. Tune in for a genuine connection and a reminder that the best adventures are often about who's riding with you.
