Ep. 198 ~ Eric House, Atlas Mountain Race on Singlespeed

I’m stoked to bring you my latest chat with Eric House fresh off his finish at the Atlas Mountain Race in Morocco. After being laid off from his job in September he decided to go full send on bikepacking and has an epic 2025 planned. Probably most notably, he’ll be doing all three of the Nelson Tree’s Mountain Race series on a singlespeed. Something no ones ever done before!

He’s got a lot more on his plate for 2025 as he tries to pack in as many adventures on his bike as he can during this time of unemployment. We go over all his plans for this year on today’s episode. We also have a healthy does of fun tangents and a brief period where we both take off our pants, a Death or Death first haha! Most importantly, we hear about his experience at AMR this year and what a successful year will look like to him.

Eric and I met up in the Sam Houston National Forest which was the perfect backdrop to an awesome chat. He’s one of the nicest, most down to earth humans I’ve met and he’s pretty damn good at riding bikes too. All of which contribute to a helluva good chat.

Eric’s able to do all of this in part to support from his sponsors, who he’d like to personally thank:
– Old Man Mountain
– South City Stichworks
– K-Lite
– Doom Bars
– Race Ready Repair
