032: Let's talk bike tours and more with craft beer lover Beth Pickhard of Brew City Biker

The Joyride Podcast!

Howdy Joyriders!

Hey Joyriders! I'm super psyched to connect with bicycle tourist and certified beer judge Beth Pickhard from Brew City Biker. On this episode we talk about some of her favorite breweries and rides, the tour of SE Asia she's currently on (find out where she is here), and what else is on her Bike-it list!

But first.. UPDATES: Check out the new BIKE LOVE CALENDAR where you will find bikey events in Portland and beyond! I made this as a one-stop shop so that I could avoid needing to look at Facebook for event details or information.

Here's what's new on the calendar:

Friends, you know I believe in the transformative power of the bike, in our personal lives, our communities, and the world at large. I would be super grateful if you’d leave a rating or review in iTunes, Stitcher, or via whatever method you listen. It helps more gals find the show, and I believe the more stories we share, the more women who ride, we make this world - both our internal and external worlds - better with every revolution.

Also, I read 5-star reviews out on the show because I love you.

Ratings and reviews help with that, but nothing is better than a personal referral, it’d be rad if you would share the show with even just one woman who you think might dig it.

Never forget, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage."

Keep moving forward and until next time I hope you enjoy the ride.

Forever Forward!
