Bine te-am regăsit la ediția de final de an a celei mai tari emisiuni de tehnologie, spațiu, știință, domeniul auto, inteligență artificială, un strop de crypto și mai tot ce ne pasionează pe noi, și de asemenea și pe voi.

Curiosity se încheie la final de an cu o retrospectivă a celor mai tari gadget-uri de anul acesta, dar și a celor mai interesante inovații și revoluții tehnologice. Desigur, inteligența artificială e pe primul loc aici, dar nu trebuie să uităm și despre revoluția din medicină, explorare spațială și chiar modul în care gândim, atât noi cât și computerele. 

Energia a făcut pași mari anul acesta și e posibil să vedem în curând soluții alterative de producție a curentului electric, iar despre crypto nici mu mai zic. A fost un rollecoaster emoțional pentru toți cei implicați, și din nou, acesta este doar începutul.

Our hosts are joined by guest Josh Lipton, founder of Campfire Cycling, a brick & mortar and online shop that specializes in bikepacking and bicycle touring.

Lipton shares his expertise and the trio dive deep into specific bikes, components, bike setup, and unique gear used in bike packing and touring (all of which are available for sale on campfirecycling.com).

Beyond the technical aspects, this episode  explores the transformative power of bikepacking. Lipton discusses the deep connection with nature that comes with  a bikepacking journey and how it can be a catalyst for self-discovery.

Stay tuned for a future episode, where we plan to chat with Toby Smith, Campfire Cycling Shop Manager, to learn about their brick-and-mortar operation and how they foster community engagement.

In this episode, we hear from Scott Wraith (aka Scotty Van Halen), coach of the Vail Composite Mountain Bike Team, and his daughters/team riders, Shelby and Riley. They discuss the team's history, its mission, and the benefits of participating in competitive mountain biking.

The Vail Composite Mountain Bike Team, a member of the Arizona Cycling Association (ACA), was started 10 years ago by Ben “Bubbles” Chandler with one student and has since grown to include over 50 middle school thru high school age riders from the Vail, AZ area. Demonstrating a culture of inclusivity, Vail Composite welcomes boys and girls of all skill levels with a focus on personal goals and teaching community and social responsibility. The program is successful largely because of the total group effort consisting of many parents and volunteers. The Team’s Booster Club recently applied for their 501(c)(3) to help subsidize race fees where needed.

Scott also shares information about a philanthropic program called El Tour Bikes for Change, which has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs Tucson, Serve Our City and other non-profit entities to deliver new bicycles, helmets, locks and lights to underserved youth.  In 2022, they distributed 560 bikes to disadvantaged kids. They hope to more than double that this year . . . with your help. Click on the link in the show notes for details on how to donate.

Overall, the Vail Composite Mountain Bike Team is a great example of how two-wheeled sports can promote fitness, teamwork, and personal growth. This episode provides valuable insights into what it takes to be successful in competitive mountain biking and highlights the positive impact that this sport can have on young people and their families.

Jody Bartz, PhD, dedicated endurance athlete with over a decade of experience as a competitive cyclist, recently started a program called GRO Girl GRO which stands for “Gathering and Recreating Outdoors, Girl(s) learn how to Give back, be Responsible, and take Ownership.” In the podcast, she discusses the mission of the program to create a space for girls in 4th – 8th grade to give back to the community, demonstrate responsibility, and take ownership by gathering and recreating outdoors. She explains that this will be accomplished thru activities like mountain biking, hiking, trail running, trail advocacy and stewardship, along with active reflection.

Overall, Dr. Bartz’s message is one of empowerment and positivity thru a concept she describes as Making, Creating, and Taking Space. She believes that by creating positive outdoor exercise experiences, providing girls with the tools and support they need to build healthy habits, and fostering a sense of community and connection, we can help young girls develop the confidence and resilience they need to thrive both on and off the trails.
