I’m honored to have this years Arkansas High Country Winner, and new Women’s FKT holder, back on the podcast. Scotti Lechuga completed this years race in 5d, 10h, 49m, besting everyone in the field.
For day 3 of Monumental Loop Week, we are featuring a podcast with Cjell Mone’, owner of Mone’ Bikes based out of Silver City, NM.
Alicia Danze and Hannah Simmons shared first place this year on the East Texas Showdown route with a time of 2d, 1h, 21m. It was both of their first times to do a bikepacking race, but they each came in with experiences that gave them confidence.
I first met Katy at a 6 hour MTB race in 2016, she had just moved to town and we became fast friends. Since then we’ve both found our way into the bikepacking world. She spent the past 5 months riding 5 routes and accumulating over 4,000 miles of bikepacking, most of it solo.
On this episode Nick and Kyle share their experience on this years ETS. It was both of their first bikepacking race and they had different approaches.
In this episode we focus on his book “How Bad Do You Want It?: Mastering the Psychology of Mind over Muscle” which as you can infer by the title is all about how our mind is the thing that limits us, not our physical ability.
Miles Arbour is back on the podcast for a 3rd time to talk about his newly published route called the Tree to Sea Loop.
This year Quinn Brett was the first person to complete the Tour Divide on an adaptive hand bike, with a time of 25 days. For her, this was more about showing the world what is possible for disabled people and that adventures like this are not only for the abled bodied.
On this episode I take you along the journey as I scout a new section for the route. Along the way I share what to expect for people who are signed up for the race or may want to ride it at some point in the future. I speak directly to folks from all over the world who have never been to Texas and have know idea what to expect, but I hope locals will find it helpful as well.
