Last Sunday, I stopped doomscrolling long enough to make it down to the Boston Outdoor Expo, and I can't overstate how great it was to spend a few hours fan girling with many a pod guest, including today's repeat interviewee, Jen Klein!I first spoke with Jen back during the early months of COVID, when she was with the Trustees of Reservations in Massachusetts as the Director of Outdoor Experience. I realized I had to have her back on about six months ago, when I happened to see on LinkedIn that she had made a job transition, and was now Executive Director for the Friends of the Blue Hills. I have the utmost respect for smaller, member-funded non-profits that are enhancing conservation and stewardship efforts in public spaces - in this case for the Blue Hills Reservation, which is one of the largest parcels of undeveloped conservation land in the Greater Boston area.So of course we are chatting all about the Blue Hills and the countless events and activities Jen and her team have been hosting there, as well as the super exciting new development that's hopefully right around the corner. But we're also digging deeper into the challenges of outdoor program administration and community engagement, the differences between statewide and local roles, and along the way, Jen drops a few kernels of hope and strategies for making an impact, even in the midst of the dumpster fire raging around us.Regardless of where you live, I hope you'll consider supporting the Friends of the Blue Hills with a donation or membership, or if you're local, please make sure to sign up for some programs or volunteer events over at friendsofthebluehills.org, or @friendsofthebluehills on Instagram and Facebook.And don't forget to lock in to some of this local goodness!:Blue Hills Reservation (MA) - download guide & trail mapInternational Women's Day ‘Women's Wave' with Two Maine Mermaids - March 8, 2025The Trustees of Reservations (MA)Which Charles Eliot are we talking about?DCR (Department of Conservation & Recreation, MA)Elevate Youth (MA)NEMBA - New England Mountain Bike AssociationPlus, more Outdoor Expo-related rock stars for your listening pleasure!:Jana Olenio, SupYo Adventures on GGWTraci Bisson, Golden Dog Adventure Co. on GGWAlicia Heyburn, Teens to Trails on GGWMardi Fuller talks Winter Hiking for Beginners on NHPRNicole Freedman, NEMBA on GGWPaula Burton, NEMBSend us a text

Back in July, I posted my episode with Nicole Freedman, the executive Director of NEMBA, and she was the one who introduced me to Paula Burton, a long-time mountain biker, NEMBA CT chapter founder, and instructor for NEMBA Trail School.Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to meet Paula in person at the trail school I attended back in June, but we did connect over Zoom for an article I was writing for the NEMBA Single Tracks newsletter. We hadn't been talking for long before I realized that Paula was just the kind of guest I love, love, LOVE to have on this podcast - a real person doing really integral work that is constantly improving the outdoor experience for newbies and weekend warriors like me!Paula's been riding since before mountain biking was really a “thing”, and she's got tons of stories to share that serve to highlight how far we've come in outdoor representation in the last 30+ years…. but also how not everything has changed quite so much.Enjoy this special Friday Funday Feature!NEMBA (New England Mountain Bike Association) - https://nemba.org/IMBA (International Mountain Biking Association) - https://www.imba.com/And a few more fun links:Thunder Mountain Bike Park (Charlemont, MA)Appalachian Mountain ClubConnecticut Greenways CouncilGeorge Waldo State Park (Southbury, CT)What is a pump track?Rockhouse Hill (Oxford, CT)What is a Class 1 Ebike?Bluff Point State Park (Groton, CT)Highland Mountain Bike Park (Northfield, NH)Pittsfield State Forest (Pittsfield, MA)Building your Biking Bucket List?

The Summer Olympics in Paris kick off in mere hours, so how appropriate that today I'm going deep with the first Guides Gone Wild former Olympian, Nicole Freedman, now the Executive Director of NEMBA, the New England Mountain Bike Association.As you'll hear, Nicole's Team USA experience is impressive, but even more amazing to me are the decades of devotion she's applied to making bikes, and bike transportation, a bigger part of our everyday lives.Nicole was the city of Boston's first-ever 'Bike Czar'; during her tenure, she helped transform Boston from the three-times designated 'worst cycling city in the country' (according Bicycling Magazine), into a national leader in cycling accessibility and safety.After some additional stints leading both urban and rural active transportation initiatives, in 2022, Nicole took the helm of NEMBA - only the third Executive Director in that  organization's 35 year history. NEMBA is a community of mountain bikers committed to creating epic riding experiences, preserving open space, and guiding the future of mountain biking in New England through its 35 chapters across all six New England states.It's almost like we're e-biking our way through this conversation, we cover so much ground! From metro-west to Stanford to Sydney to Seattle, with multiple boomerangs back to the Boston area, all with the goal of making bikes the new normal for commuters, conservationists, and casual riders alike (no hot dog costume required!!)Links from our conversation (not chain, the other kind!):New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA): https://nemba.org/Elevate: https://elevatemtb.com/Guides Gone Wild talks with Sabra Davison, Little BellasVermont Mountain Bike Association: https://vmba.org/Kingdom Trails Association (VT): https://www.kingdomtrails.org/Hub on Wheels (not happening any more, likely a victim of COVID, sigh - but here's link to a Hub on Wheels FB page showing info and images from 2019): https://www.facebook.com/HubOnWheels/Toole Design GroupCo2 Inflator KitsBear Brook State Park (NH)

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Nicole Freedman, Olympian, and Executive Director of the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA). In this episode, Nicole shares her journey from the Olympic stage to becoming a pivotal leader in mountain biking advocacy and community building.We dive into NEMBA's mission of "guiding the future of mountain biking in New England" and explore how the organization supports riders of all levels through beginner clinics and weekly rides for experienced riders.  With an impressive network of 25,000 miles of trails, maintained by a dedicated force of 10,000 volunteers across 35 chapters, NEMBA is truly a cornerstone of the mountain biking community in New England.Discover some of the best mountain biking locations, including Woody Hill, Nepaug State Forest, West Hill Dam, Carrabassett Valley, the Freetown 50 event, and The Fells in Massachusetts. Nicole also discusses the impact of trail grants provided by NEMBA and celebrates the recent addition of two new chapters: the Purple Valley Chapter and the Southeast Chapter in Massachusetts.Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to mountain biking, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and valuable information about the vibrant mountain biking scene in New England.

Scotch Squabble! Scotch makers are accusing Bourbon Barrel makers of cheapening out and shorting them on their used barrels. The accusation is called “rinsing”. The real issue, is why aren't Scotch makers making sure of the process the barrels they buy go through?

To help celebrate Drink Wine Day tomorrow, I found a list of the best wine movies to chill with while you work on your best bottle. What's your favorite wine and movie mix - is it “Sideways” with some *bleeping* Merlot? I know that's high on my list. “Wine Country” is a fun jaunt, if you haven't seen it - worth the watch. “Bottle Shock” is a good movie too - but on my list, this weekend, is “Uncorked”.

We enjoy these trails by scheduling rides for different ability levels, organizing trail maintenance events, running mountain bike skills clinics, and enabling fellow bikers to find a wider biking community. We are determined to make sure the trails are kept open for, and used responsibly by, all trail users. We take a broad view of what trail accessibility is all about, as shown by our chapter’s financial commitment to the ‘Vietnam’ land purchase. We regularly convene chapter meetings to share information and keep our priorities in focus. When you join the North Shore chapter, you can stay in touch with everything that’s happening by joining our NEMBA email list. Our group’s email list and web site serve as the primary means of communication for the North Shore chapter. They allow members to discuss and collaborate on chapter activities – ride scheduling, trail maintenance, access issues and problems, or other matters of interest to the group. Where we ride: Major state parks used by mountain bike riders in the North Shore area are Harold Parker, Bradley Palmer/Willowdale, and Georgetown/Rowley. Lynn Woods, Dogtown in Gloucester, and various other smaller properties are also popular with our members. Riders from the chapter area also work with the Greater Boston chapter to provide Bike Patrols in the Boston area, monitoring trail use (and abuse) and assisting anybody in need on the trails. Of course, we also take the opportunity to join in other NEMBA rides and events no matter where they take place. What we do: North Shore NEMBA has a number of different programs in which members can get involved, including: -Trail maintenance events at Harold Parker, Bradley Palmer, Willowdale, and Georgetown/Rowley state parks. -Organized group rides. These are posted in “SingleTracks”, on our NorthShore email list, and/or on the NEMBA ride forum. -The season-ending bash called the “Wicked Ride of the East”. There is a great deal of logistical support needed to set up, run, and clean up after this charitable event which regularly draws 200 or so bikers to Harold Parker State Park. -Beginner’s clinics to help neophytes learn (and help some veterans brush up on) trail skills. This is a great way to meet fellow bikers and try new challenges. --------- RELATED SHOW LINKS You can support this content by becoming a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mtnbikeradio Support Mountain Bike Radio by shopping through our Amazon Affiliate Link: http://amzn.to/1SC3svC North Shore NEMBA - https://www.nemba.org/chapters/nsnemba North Shore NEMBA Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/MTBNorthShore/ NEMBA's The Wicked Ride of the East - https://www.nemba.org/events/wicked-ride-east Join NEMBA - http://www.nemba.org/join Email Ben: NEDirt@Mountainbikeradio.com MTBBen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mtbben603/ NEMBA Trails: http://www.nemba.org/trails SnowDog: https://snowdog.com/ Mountain Bike Radio Links: Shop via our Amazon Affiliate Link: http://amzn.to/1SC3svCGo to the Mountain Bike Radio Store: https://shopmbr.com/Become a Mountain Bike Radio Member: http://mountainbikeradio.bigcartel.com/category/mbr-memberships Mountain Bike Radio Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/MountainBikeRadioMountain Bike Radio on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MtnBikeRadioMountain Bike Radio on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mtnbikeradio/Mountain Bike Radio on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYE6EAkjP_dmm94_HbKya0Q

We are thrilled to re-visit an early podcast interview with Chrissy Fleishman who induced lactation for her baby born via surrogacy.  There are a couple of reasons why we are re-releasing it now.  One, we thought Chrissy gave a great interview.  She is well-informed and enthusiastic, and her experience has followed a fairly typical pattern - if there is such a thing in inducing lactation!  Second, we want to address a particular experience Chrissy shares.  Chrissy had Depo-Provera injections as a young adult in order to help with menstrual difficulties.  She experienced lactation as a side effect. Recently, there has been some information floating around online suggesting the use of Depo-Provera for inducing lactation.  This source cites a 1994 study done in Papua, New Guinea which 11 out of 12 mothers who had induced lactation with the help of a single Depo-Provera injection were able to fully lactate within a few weeks of starting the protocol.  (Nemba, 1994)  We agreed that this study seemed promising, not only because of the high rate of full lactation but also because the protocol described in the study takes much, much less time than other approaches typically used.  Although Alyssa had looked into this study when writing Breastfeeding Without Birthing, she decided it made sense to take another closer look and to contact some other professionals for their advice.  This podcast episode is about what she discovered (and in some cases  re-discovered).
