Fan-favorite Franklin Johnson returns to our podcast, bringing with him tales of family, adventure, and the much-anticipated Big Brag 2025 event. We kick things off with a choice between Cycling Men of Leisure whiskey and a treasured Suntory 12-year whiskey—a gift from Franklin's wife, Heather. As we toast to good times, Franklin updates us on his growing family, including the timely arrival of their newest addition, Ari. From enjoying family vacation videos to admiring Heather's flawless hair in recent photos, our conversation is filled with warmth and laughter.
Our journey takes a leap across the globe, as we explore the vibrant streets of Cancun, serene cenotes, and Mayan pyramids of the Yucatan Peninsula. Excitement builds as we discuss upcoming international cycling trips to Croatia and the Loire Valley's vineyards and castles. As we reminisce about past events like the rainy yet enjoyable Spring Tune-Up, we can't help but anticipate the 45th Big Brag event. A special shoutout goes to our supporter Scott Garwick, urging listeners to register under the team name Cycling Men of Leisure, ensuring they don't miss out on the midnight deadline for registration savings.
The episode is a delightful tribute to Georgia's towns, where we embark on a geographical trivia journey starting in Rome, Georgia. From exploring its historical significance and vibrant local scene to discovering hidden gems like Berry College and Fainting Goat Vineyards, we immerse ourselves in the charm of Georgia. Our exploration includes NASCAR history in Dawsonville and Toccoa's breathtaking falls, creating a vivid tapestry of stories and cycling routes. With a sprinkle of humor and camaraderie, we celebrate the simple pleasures of cycling, community, and the joy of embarking on this memorable journey together.

We will be back
