James Mark Hayden came on the ultra endurance bike racing scene in 2015. Since then he’s been putting down some incredible performances, winning the Transcontinental Race twice, shared 1st place at the Italy divide, getting 4th at Silk Road even though he was robbed by men on horses during the race, and most recently he finished 2nd at Atlas Mountain Race to Sofiane who came in only 4 hours earlier.
All of this he accomplished while finishing up his degree at university. Guess what? School is over, no more distractions, and James is on a mission to be a professional ultra endurance bike racer. What does that look like? We talk about it on the show.
When racing starts again James is going to be one of the guys to watch. Check out his instagram @jamesmarkhayden where he post tons of great knowledge about his training and related topics.
I tried to search for the old guy, but a younger guy with the same name and twitter pops up.
I am an old guy on a bike, but I have 4 recumbents, and one mountain bike currently , I bought the first mountain bike sold in west tennessee Jackson, years ago. I just got back into mountain biking to get upper body strength, 3 old guys mountain bike every saturday, 60, 69, and 74 years old.
We would love to get more riders into Hardin County, several trails , years ago sanctioned by IMBA. Savannah, tn.
