Show Notes
We have a very special, and probably tear-and-laugh filled episode of The Inside Line as we catch back up with Colin Meagher, all-around nice guy, incredible, storied mountain bike photographer and man dealing with the late stages of ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

With Jason and Dak both in the same time zone and town, they caught up for a quick catch up before the weekend chaos begins.
