Dirtcast Episode 20 - Brianna Hutchinson & Eric Tuttle

That's a good ride to do.

Yeah,

I've never done the full unpaved.

I've done some other long ones.

The one I can remember vividly is doing Keystone Gravel with Jake and realizing that just because it says Keystone gravel doesn't mean that it's all gravel.

And we were riding janky, you know, essentially dirt bike trails and snowmobile trails and going over roots every six feet.

And as difficult as it was, it was still like really cool to be exploring Pennsylvania on a bike like that, which is not something I had ever fathomed.

Cause I, you know, I grew up riding mountain bike and riding up at the Rattling Creek trails and And I never realized that mountain biking could also be flowy.

I thought, you know, if you're riding a mountain bike, it's just going to be everywhere.

It's going to be like rattling Creek.

So the first time I rode a race town, it completely blew my mind that there's, you know, different trails that it's not just punishment the entire time.

Cause I was riding on a 26 inch hard tail with slicks when I first rode up there.

Um, so bikes have come a long way, uh, But, you know, Rattling Creek is kind of near and dear to me.

And, you know, I know they're doing a bunch of expansions up there.

I was working with Samba for a while before the kids were born.

And then, you know, kind of just didn't have time to keep helping out, help out a little bit when I can, but wanted to talk a little bit about what Samba is doing.

Um, see your shirt tunnel, um, and then the bash coming up, um, So I know they're expanding out at Rattling Creek, also working at the Marietta Woods Project.

Now, how are you guys involved with SAMBA? What are you doing to help out there?

That's a good ride to do.

Yeah,
