Welcome to Watopian Weekly The LIVE Holiday Episode! Thank’s to all that were able to join in the ride! If you missed the ride, turn this on and join the “Watopian Waistband” route and it will be like you were there! This was so much fun! Topics covered are hearing directly from Matt Ladd as he rounds out his massive elevation, goals for this year, goals for next year, riding inside, riding outside, and so much more! This really was fun and I look forward to doing more of these! Thank you everyone for riding, listening, and supporting us week after week! Happy Holidays!
