On today’s episode Holden and I chat about a little bit of everything. His day job is at a hot rod shop in Ft. Worth and he’s owned a few pretty rad cars over the years. He put his mechanical abilities to use and built hims a rad Tall Bike, which is the fodder for many of my questions on this episode. When he’s not tooling around on his tall bike you may see him on his fixie cruising the streets of Ft. Worth with a cycling syndicate that goes by the name of “Smash Bros Plus One”.
Holden has also completed the RAT 1,000 (Race Across Texas) twice, coming up only 1 hour shy of the FKT in 2022. He spends most of his time thinking about and training for this race, and I’m guessing until he has that FKT, that won’t change. Maybe after he’s got that monkey off his back I can come get him to give the East Texas Showdown a go!
