Frank and Mere get a taste of Italy with the delightful Echelon community member Elisabetta Baglio, aka Purple Friend Bear. We talk tiramisu, cappuccino rules, shoutouts, pupdates, and the pure joy of working out! The Disney Virtual Challenge through Echelon is out and people are receiving their medals and completing their 5Ks which we discuss along with Comic Con (somebody on this podcast has been and shares some really cool pictures), and the new 5 favorites we all should prepare our answers for in case a small child asks

Are Yinz ready for this one? Frank and Mere talk to Echelon Rider and Pittsburgh resident, Katie Niebel! We talk about her path to fitness and her career as a NICU RN among other things. There are lots of people getting called out in this one, or is that shouted-out? Frank and Mere are not immune! it's a pretty good list of people to be included with if we do say so ourselves. Enjoy!

After a week off in which Mere drove from Oklahoma to Canada with two dogs and a 15 year old, and Frank learned to put his sandals up out of Nellie's reach...we're back! We get caught up, talk pupdates, Echelon news, and Karate Kid: Legends! Frank has masterminded a brilliant Echelon Leaderboard Alignment Chart, so settle in and let us know where you find yourself most days.

In this episode Frank and Mere explore the possibilities of taking the podcast on the road. Would it be an epic adventure or an epic fail? Who would drive? Who controls the radio? Can Mere visit all the roadside attractions or is Frank a meanie? We (Mere) had many technical difficulties which Frank has handled masterfully to bring you this fun-filled episode. Mere also reviews the Bed & Breakfast where she has been residing for the past couple of weeks and of course there are pupdates and some Echelon news for you all as well! Enjoy!

Be prepared to smile until your cheeks hurt! Frank and Mere sit down for a chinwag with UK instructor Sarah Moheb-Ahanchi. We cover a wide range of topics from ballet, to singing, mass transit, candy, and of course, Pupdates! We get an exclusive scoop on Susanna Barrett and their friendship of many years. We laughed so hard, but also gained wisdom in the areas of what we can do to help ourselves and others heal. Sarah was incredibly generous with her time and insight and we are so thankful that she is part of the Echelon Team!

Frank and Mere get a new podcast co-host and Remy gets a new bestie. We catch up on the latest Echelon news the good, the bad, and the ugly. Mere is moving…still. There is much to discuss!

Frank and Mere hop across the pond for an interview with Echelon Instructor, Marilena Schnorrenberg, of the London Studio! Delightful banter and deep discussion of cakes ensues! We learn some ways to reframe our thinking to reach our goals and feel better while we sweat together. There is a lot of travel talk for a show about a Bike That Goes Nowhere, but seems to take us everywhere! Enjoy!

Get answers to age old questions like, "Would Mere move to Arizona just to get out of Daylight Savings Time?" and "Does Remy like potato chips?" Plus, learn a couple of interesting tidbits about the hosts as they go off script with reckless abandon. It's all in good fun!
