from Experience Jackson · host Experience Jackson

In this episode, host Rachel Buchanan, Experience Jackson Vice President of Marketing and Communications, welcomes Andy Behling, one of the two brothers who make up MI Playground.

This episode is just one part of a series on the Experience Jackson podcast we’re calling Shifting Gears. We’ll talk with enthusiasts and connections who share why Jackson County is a special place for cyclists, and what makes this area a great place to ride. Learn more about how Andy enjoys what he’s dubbed Take OUTside along his trips, a great stop on the trails, and the scenery along the way.   Learn more about MI Playgrounds adventures at https://www.enjoymiplayground.com/.   You can always connect to learn more about Jackson County, Michigan and plan your visit at ⁠⁠www.experiencejackson.com⁠⁠.
