    Steve and Brad's presentation ended with a 20-minute training ride video. That video's sound was deleted from the audio podcast because it interfered with the presenter's audio. It was replaced with 2 seconds of static. However, you can get the video here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/74xe5g194u0s23h/RAAM%2020%20minute%20ride_4C260C4F-C106-4D61-A8D7-095C41CB280E.mp4?dl=0
