Ep. 67 – Matt Mason, co-creator of the Monumental loop

April 7, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

This episode is the first one to come from my recent road trip to New Mexico and Arizona to interview guest for the podcast. My first stop was in Las Cruces, NM to meet up with Matt Mason to ride a portion of the Monumental Loop. We rode up to the base of the Organ Mountains and camped in perfect weather. In the morning we recorded this episode under little outcropping before descending 10 miles back to town on some epic singletrack.

May 18, 2021March 31, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

On March 6th, 2021 twelve college students in the Adventure Media class at Texas Tech University set off on a bikepacking trip as part of their course curriculum. This year the classes challenge was the Caprock Canyon State Park and Trailway, which in total was 66 miles with very little climbing, but the wind made up for what the elevation profile lacked!

Miles is BACK! The first time we did an interview was in his van at the Bikepacking Summit in 2019. This year thanks to COVID we are relegated to Zoom, but that didn’t stop us from having a good ole time.

Arkansas high country race 2021

Quickly becoming known as one of the most challenging bikepacking routes in the country, this self-supported race departs from downtown Fayetteville on Saturday, Oct. 9. The race is a 1,000+ mile loop following the Arkansas High Country Route, a series of three gravel and paved road loops that connect several of the state’s stunning natural regions, including the Ozark and Ouachita mountain ranges and the Arkansas River Valley.

ep. 64 – Bikepacking Basics: You ask, we answer!

March 1, 2021February 19, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

In this episode we use a recent trip to Big Bend National Park as the backdrop to answer your questions. Ultimately, we received 41 questions, that boiled down to 18 questions and we tackle them all! The most requested topic was on Route Building, which was really perfect because our trip to BB was a route finding mission. We saved that one for last and answer your other questions as we build up to it, but you won’t want to miss “How to make cake in the backcountry” (video coming soon) or our thoughts on e-bikes!

BoD Theme Song (Cover), by ian Cherry

January 26, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

When Miles Arbour dropped his original BoD Theme Song Live on Episode 30 I was equally flattered and blown away. Since we’ve been running it at the beginning and end of each episode I’ve received numerous messages from people who echo my sentiments. It inspired one listener, Ian Cherry, so greatly that he wrote and recorded his own version.

Ep. 63 – Jacob Hora

January 17, 2023January 26, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

The first episode of 2021 is with the very inspirational Jacob Hora. At only 15 he’s accomplished more than most regardless of age. I didn’t know who he was before watching the Trackleader dots of Jay Petervary’s Fat Pursuit. The first place finisher was Jacob, so I clicked on his profile and was immediately intrigued when I saw he was only 15!
