Welcome to Episode 011 of the SpeakEasy Podcast with Nate and Pat.

Sponsored by Mason & Isaacson Law Firm, Gallup Journey Magazine, and the Land of Enchantment Opera.

This week we welcome Scott Nydam to the studios.   He fills us in on what it was like racing his road bike professionally, why he enjoys paying $12 for burgers, what he wants to see happen in the Gallup bike community and what it was like drinking a Pliny the Elder beer at midnight on top of a mountain in Spain.

We quiz Scott on trivia beginning with the letter “H†and find out how he got started in professional bike racing in the first place.  We also chat about his first VW (he has had several) and why we should have curbside recycling in Gallup.
