OK, cards on the saloon bar table straight away here. Last week’s “Is downcountry the new dubstep?” opinion piece was a surprise hit on Google for a throwaway headline inspired mostly by the Deadpool 2 movie. So obviously my mind started whirring to see what other musical parallels there were with other ways of pedaling through the dirt. I’m pretty confident that “Is gravel the grunge of off-road cycling?” is definitely a goer and “How metal is gravity racing?” are going to be pretty strong episodes. However, given the date I’m dedicating the second of this series of ill advised “matching mountain biking to music” themed mind farts to the idea of “cross-country and western”.
