Ep. 73 – Dr. Seth Wood, from ICU to FKT

May 27, 2021May 19, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

I wanted to hear Seth’s story about his journey from almost losing his life in Feb. of 2013 after being ran over by a car while commuting on his bike. To then go on to set a Singlespeed FKT on the Arkansas High Country Race. The collision nearly cost him his life, but a year later he competed in the 2nd ever LandRun 100 (Now Midsouth) and he finished! All while wearing an eye patch as a visible reminder that he was still recovering from the injuries he sustained.

Ep. 72 – Route building, with Kevin From RWGPS

May 27, 2021May 13, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

On this episode we get to know Kevin and some history on RWGPS and then we get into the maps! And we go deep. But, we also cover very basic topics. This episode was designed with the hope that it will be a resource for you to build your own routes, modify existing ones, or fly by the seat of your pants using heatmaps.

Ep. 71 – Ryan Stoyer, Bikerafting the Buffalo

May 27, 2021May 6, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

When I contacted Ryan Stoyer about coming on the podcast it was with the idea that we would talk about his unique lifestyle and how it allows for him to life a more fulfilled life. I still like that topic, but Ryan had other ideas. After the official BoD instagram invite was sent, his reply was an enthusiastic yes, followed by a suggestion, “how about we go bikerafting?”. My response was equally enthusiastic and I gave no thought to the fact that I’d never been bikerafting, or had a raft, or new how to build a route, etc etc.

Ep. 70 – Rebecca Rusch, “Queen of Pain”

May 27, 2021April 28, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

Today’s episode is with a true living legend. Rebecca Rusch has had a long and successful career spanning many different sports, but in the past 15 years has dominated the mountain bike scene, which as spilled over into bikepacking and gravel racing as well.

Ep. 69 – John Watson, owner of the Radavist

May 27, 2021April 20, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

My guest on today’s episode with John Watson is one that I’ve been looking forward to for a while. We had plans to record this one a while ago, but covid put it on pause. On my recent trip to AZ and NM I was able to meet John at his Santa Fe office where he runs The RADAVIST.

Ep. 68 – Lael Wilcox

May 27, 2021April 14, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

It’s always an extreme pleasure to sit down and chat with Lael Wilcox. Her positivity and honesty is infections as is her drive to push herself to extremes all in the name of bike racing. She’s an inspiration to so many of us in this community and I am no exception. She has been a huge source of inspiration for me as I dipped my toe into the bikepacking waters.

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.

Ep. 66 – Adventure Media 2021, Part 1

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!

Ep. 65 – Miles Arbour with Bikepacking.com

March 15, 2021March 12, 2021 by Patrick Farnsworth

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.

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!
