The TRC Race Team, Motorway Rules, A Pinkbike Award and More

The first Ride Companion catch up of 2026… and we're straight back into it! We kick things off talking winter illnesses, whether 'man flu' is actually a thing, and why the placebo effect might be more powerful than people think, along with a few honest Christmas confessions (including why we're both useless at gifts). Lunch & Learn is back and we look at motorway lane rules what the rules actually say. We also cover winning Pinkbike Comment of the Year, New Year goal setting vs streak culture, Davi's newest hobby obsession, the idea of finally doing our bike test, and a huge 2026 partnership announcement for the podcast.
