Spy? Bus Driver? Bourbon Courier On A Bike - Michael shares something personal

Send us Fan MailSubscription Link https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054444/subscribeA slow ride can carry a lot: jokes from a sunlit cruise, a bottle of bourbon tucked into a jersey, and the kind of conversation that pauses for grief and keeps rolling anyway. We open with playful “secret agent” teasing and a check-in on the job search, detour into bourbon dreams and Peerless Distillery legends (yes, including Patton’s pistol), and then arrive at the true center of this journey: honoring a father whose love of cycling sparked a friendship and a community.From there, we talk frankly about dementia—what early changes can look like, why quick screening matters, and how new treatments may slow decline. We share small, practical steps for brain health: cutting processed sugar, choosing aluminum-free deodorant, and staying mindful about what touches your skin and rides in your bottle. That thread expands into everyday product safety, from cookware to the surprising places metals still hide, without fear-mongering or hype.Because our map always includes wonder, we celebrate global listeners and reveal a delightfully specific gem: Yuma, Arizona—the sunniest city in the U.S., proud home of a New Year’s lettuce drop and a rich military testing history. We swap ride fuel favorites (Payday vs. Three Musketeers), post-ride rewards, and the strangest cargo we’ve ever hauled—like an RV seat cushion and two mysterious ball-peen hammers found miles apart on the same day. Studio upgrades get a nod, BRAG plans stay in motion, and the road ahead looks open.If you’re here for cycling stories, grief handled with care, and the kind of travel that chooses leisure on purpose, you’ll feel at home. Press play, share it with a friend who rides, and leave a review so others can find the road. Subscribe for more slow-mile adventures and let us know: what’s your gas-station gourmet?
