On this episode we crack open The Journal to travel along with Brock and Adele on their 2012 bike tour from Oregon to Colorado, test out a couple of field microphones for proper bike touring podcast recording in The Lab, and enjoy the newest Pedalshift bike touring story about a muddy slog called It's All Downhill From Here...

The Journal

Brock and Adele’s 2012 western tour is the featured journal this show. You met Brock Dittus on Pedalshift Project #002, and for the love of all that's good and right in the world you should also listen to The Sprocket Podcast. Now go for a long virtual ride with Brock and his wife Adele up some steep hills in the summer heat... 

The Lab

It's a very meta edition of The Lab where we're testing out two microphones. The first is an iPhone boom mic (no longer available... hmmm) and the second is the venerable veteran of Pedalshift field recording, the stock iPhone earbud mic. Which microphone shall reign supreme? Yeah, wasn't even close...
