MUFFIN a.k.a Ryan De La Rue: Racing, Injuries and life changing chance encounters

I have wanted to have Ryan "MUFFIN" De La Rue on the show for a long time now. Not only is he a fast and stylish man on the bike but, he can build a damn good trail. We chat about his racing career, trail building, and how the chance encounter with Glen Jacobs changes his path in life.
