Welcome to this episode of "Gravel Legends," where we delve into the world of ultra-endurance cycling and spotlight one of its most formidable athletes: Cynthia Carson.Cynthia Carson has rapidly ascended the ranks of gravel racing, earning her place among the elite in ultra-endurance cycling. In 2024, she made history by becoming the first woman to win the Atlas Mountain Race, a grueling 844-mile event through Morocco's rugged terrain. Completing the race in 4 days, 19 hours, and 3 minutes, she finished 15th overall, a testament to her exceptional endurance and skill. Her achievements extend beyond the Atlas Mountain Race. Carson has secured victories at the Badlands race in Spain, where she not only claimed the women's title but also set a new course record, finishing in 21 hours and 34 minutes, beating the previous women's time by 10 hours. She has also conquered the Transcordilleras in Colombia, becoming the first woman to complete the race, and has earned top finishes at events like Unbound XL and Gran Guanche Gravel.What sets Carson apart is her unique mental fortitude. She embraces the challenges of ultra-endurance racing, viewing each obstacle as an opportunity for growth. Her ability to maintain focus and resilience, despite adversity, is a defining characteristic of her racing style.In addition to her mental toughness, Carson's technical skills are noteworthy. Her descending abilities on rough, off-road terrain are exceptional, allowing her to navigate technical descents with confidence and speed. This skill is crucial in gravel racing, where the ability to handle diverse and challenging terrains can make a significant difference. Carson's capacity to endure pain and discomfort is unparalleled. During the Atlas Mountain Race, she developed trench foot after a river crossing but continued to push forward, demonstrating her commitment and determination. Her ability to manage physical discomfort and maintain performance under extreme conditions is a hallmark of her racing career.Beyond her accomplishments, Carson is a passionate advocate for the cycling community. She has contributed to the Detours podcast, sharing insights into ultra-cycling and encouraging more women to participate in the sport. Her dedication to the cycling community and willingness to share her experiences highlight her commitment to fostering inclusivity and growth within the sport.In this episode, we've explored the remarkable journey of Cynthia Carson, from her rapid rise in ultra-endurance cycling to her advocacy for the sport. Her story is one of perseverance, skill, and dedication, serving as an inspiration to cyclists around the world.Thank you for joining us on this episode of "Gravel Legends." Enjoy!

Despite its super tough reputation, Valerio Stuart had dreamed about taking part for years. Would he manage to banish his demons and make it safely to the finish? Armchair Adventure – Nepal from top to bottom – Part Two“Unfortunately, because it's been so cold here recently, all the water in the hotel is frozen, so there's no possibility of taking a shower.” said Usha. Everyone who had signed up for the Trans-Nepal Gravel event knew in advance that getting a shower in hotels located at the higher altitudes wasn't going to be possible, so we had come prepared with wet wipes and hand sanitiser a-plenty. In Part Two of Olly's story, after four days of travelling, the team have finally reached the start line of the Trans Nepal Gravel. It must be downhill all the way to the Indian border now, right?Armchair Adventure – The Alps DivideHaving completed numerous challenging bikepacking trips already, Leo Purcell decided he was ready for another adventure. This time his destination was the Alps and his route of choice was The Alps Divide, a challenging 1000km route which runs roughly north/south between Thonon-les-Bains (near Lake Geneva) and Menton (close to Monaco) or vice versa. Leo set off from the Mediterranean coast heading north, searching for some “me time” in the mountains. Will he successfully make it to his final destination? You'd better read on to find out….
It's just me, Mel, on the mic, and I'm finally sharing a long overdue catchup. Today I share some behind-the-scenes moments from Morocco and the Atlas Mountain Race, and how a lot of recent experiences have had me rethinking my relationship to bikes, racing, and movement in general.As always, a huge thank you to Albion for supporting Detours this year.Follow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cycling Hosted on Acast.

“I was in the middle of nowhere in Albania on a road bike, and there was no way out—I had to go through the parkour. So I told my husband, ‘I can't ride it, but I'm going to walk it.' He rode ahead, and I just kept walking, waking him up every time I passed by. We spent 12 hours like that, but we made it out. And I said to myself, ‘That's never going to happen again. I'm going to learn how to ride off-road." —Sherry CardonaAfter struggling through a brutal 70-kilometer off-road section in her first Transcontinental Race (TCR), Sherry Cardona made a promise to herself: she would learn to ride off-road. Fast forward to 2025, and she's now taken on off-road bikepacking races like the Bohemian Border Bash, Badlands, and recently completed the Atlas Mountain Race, her first mountain bike ultra—a completely different challenge that tested her technical skills, race mindset, and ability to adapt.Sherry has quickly become a recognizable name in distance racing, not only for her impressive results—including winning TCR in a pair, twice—but for her ability to tell compelling stories about the highs, lows and realities of pushing limits on the bike through her YouTube channel, Buzzalong Cycling. In this episode, we dive into Sherry's ultra-cycling journey, from picking up a road bike for the first time at age 27, to racing TCR, Badlands, and now the Atlas Mountain Race. We talk about racing in a pair vs. solo, how she built confidence on technical terrain, and what it takes to push through when things aren't going to plan.In this episode we talk about: Her transition from road ultras to gravel and mountain bike racingRacing in the Transcontinental Race in a pair with her husband: the challenges, teamwork, and life lessonsHow she built confidence on technical terrain (including a mountain bike instructor who thought she had "no hope")Atlas Mountain Race: expectations vs. reality, adapting when things got tough, and learning to ride mountain bike terrainSurviving on honey, omelets, and Moroccan teaHow music (and a little bit of Taylor Swift) helped her get through hard momentsHer approach to training, gear choices, and what she'd do differently for if she were to race AMR again Follow Sherry's adventures: Follow Sherry on Instagram @sherry.cyclingWatch her Atlas Mountain Race videoSubscribe to her podcast Buzzalong CyclingAs always, a huge thank you to Albion for supporting Detours this year.Follow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cycling Hosted on Acast.

Ongeveer een maand geleden trokken David en Bobby naar Marokko voor de Atlas Mountain Race te rijden. Een tocht van ongeveer 1300 km met 23000 hoogtemeters.
In this special episode, we chat with Ultra-Distance specialist Kevin Benky Benkenstein on his bike and gear selections for a recent race across the Moroccan Atlas Mountain Range. That big ride is the Atlas Mountain Race (AMR), a beast of a ride that covers some 1,300 km with 23,000 m of elevation. It covers every surface imaginable, and both rider and bike are tested thoroughly in the little over four days that it took him to complete (good enough for a tied third-place finish in the men's).Designed to accompany an article that Kevin wrote for Escape Collective, this chat covers why a full-suspension frame ended up being the pick, why such trail-focussed tyres were selected, drivetrain choices, and plenty of geeky insight.Enjoy! Oh, and don't forget to check out escapecollective.com for the full write-up (or at least to see some photos).
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 EPISODE SPONSORS Old Man Mountain – Use code “mountainordeath” at checkout to receive 10% off your order!

"I want to finish with a big smile on my face."That's Mascha Wahlig's goal for the 2025 Atlas Mountain Race. Last year, Mascha lined up at Atlas Mountain Race, her second-ever ultra-endurance bikepacking event. She was fast, pushing herself to the limit, but she was also overwhelmed. The intensity of the race, the sheer number of riders, and the pressure she put on herself—it all built up, culminating in a moment of panic and paralysis in the middle of the desert when her cleat broke.She eventually got it fixed (with a bit of super glue and grit), but mentally? The race left her drained. Even months later, she found herself experiencing panic on training rides in the dark, reliving the helplessness of that night in Morocco. Instead of pushing it down, she did the work. She sought help, developed strategies to manage fear and build mental strength, and slowly rebuilt her confidence. And it worked.Since Atlas, Mascha has gone on to win both the Hellenic Mountain Race and Sneak Peeks, proving to herself that mental performance is just as crucial as physical fitness in ultra-cycling and bikepacking. Now, she's coming back to Atlas Mountain Race 2025, but this time, with a totally different mindset.She's racing for herself—not for a number, not for a podium—but to ride with confidence, be present, and take in the experience.In this episode we talk about: The mental battles of ultra-cycling and bikepacking—panic, fear, and self-doubt. How Mascha built mental resilience and confidence after last year's Atlas Mountain Race. What it takes to win ultra-endurance bikepacking races like Hellenic and Sneak Peeks. Strategies for handling stress and mental fatigue in long-distance racing.The power of self-compassion, managing expectations, and racing with a freer mind.How to prepare mentally and physically for events like Atlas Mountain Race.If you've ever doubted yourself, struggled with confidence in endurance sports, or felt overwhelmed by the sheer challenge of a long-distance race, this episode is for you.As always, thank you to Albion Cycling for supporting Detours this year.

In this episode, I chat with Marei Moldenhauer—a rising star in ultra-cycling and bikepacking. Marei balances a demanding career as a doctor while excelling in the world of endurance racing. Her recent accomplishments include winning the women's race at Bright Midnight in Norway (where she also finished fourth overall!!!) and finishing second just two and a half hours behind the women's winner at the Transcontinental Race (TCR) 2023.We discuss Marei's entry pathway into ultra-cycling, from receiving her first steel bike as a gift from her brother to becoming a competitive bikepacker. She shares her training approach, how she's preparing for the Atlas Mountain Race, and her love of climbing. Marei also opens up about the challenges she faces as a celiac athlete, her strategies for fueling during ultra-endurance events, and her unexpected preference for Katjes over Haribo gummy bears!Marei will be one of the many women racing this year's Atlas Mountain Race and I can't wait to see how she gets on.Thanks to Albion Cycling for supporting the podcast and my adventures this year!Follow Marei on Instagram: @marei.molFollow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourspodcastFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingDo you have a story from your own adventures you want to share with us?We'd love to feature your story on the podcast!

Last year Ulrich Bartholmoes, aka Uba, won the Tour Divide on his first attempt. This year he came back to do it again, but with a larger goal of completing the Bikepacking Triple Crown. We will be following Uba's Triple Crown attempt at each stage along the way. This is the second episode in the series, you can listen to our first chat we recorded just days before the Tour Divide Grand Depart on episode 182 of this podcast. This was a record setting year on the Tour Divide and one that will go down in the history books. For the past 8 years the late Mike Hall's record has stood up against hundreds of others who have tried to beat his dot to the border of Mexico in Antelope Wells. This year Justinas Leveika set a new FKT (fastest known time) besting Mike Hall's time by over 20 hours! I'll be releasing an episode with Justinas about his recorded breaking ride in the coming days, but today we turn our attention to Uba who put on brilliant ride and also came in ahead of Mike Hall's time. The friendly competition between Uba and Justinas is a fun one for fans of the sport. Last year Uba won the Tour Divide with Justinas coming in second and they've had other similar epic battles in races like Atlas Mountain Race. This year on Tour Divide Justinas got a small gap early in the race and Uba was hot on his heals with sometimes only a few miles between them. Weather played a big factor in the ultimate outcome, but you have to admire and appreciate the epic battle to the finish line from both of these amazing competitors. On today's episode we hear about the race from Uba's perspective and next up we get to hear from Justinas.

Quinda is an artist, photographer and ultra-distance cyclist from the Netherlands. She's taken on some of the hardest bikepacking races in the world, including the Atlas Mountain Race, Silk Road Mountain Race and taking the women's win at the inaugural Hellenic Mountain Race in 2023. While on first meeting Quinda has a gentle demeanour, below the surface she is tenacious and one of the hardier ultra cyclists out there. This conversation is wide reaching, from her entry into ultra cycling, the relationship between her art practice and riding, to traumatic brain injuries and her dreams for the future. It flew by, and while we could have talked forever, we think it's a wonderful introduction to the magnificent woman that is Quinda Verheul.

It takes a particular kind of grit to win the grueling 800-mile Atlas Mountain Race, and Cynthia Carson did it on less than five hours of sleep. The rising bikepacking star has had quite a year, winning Spain's infamous desert race Badlands in September and becoming the first woman to finish in the top 10. Cynthia joins Payson this week to talk about how she rose so quickly from casual gravel cyclist to one of the top ultradistance racers in the world. She explains why she's chosen to focus on non-U.S. races since the start of her career, why her extreme competitiveness and relaxed approach to planning are a winning combination, and how an impromptu tea ceremony during the Atlas Mountain Race helped get her over the finish line. She also talks about nutrition, bike setup, and why she started her own race, Gravista, a few years ago. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

Mel Webb, who has taken on such challenges as the Atlas Mountain Race and the Alberta Rockies 700, can weave the zany and the serious tougher almost effortlessly. Take her snooze in an outhouse this past summer. It's kind of gross and funny, but in this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, it also leads her to discuss ideas of safety and what roles a public amenity should play in a self-supported event. Throughout the interview, she tackles big topics, like the lack of gender parity within cycling and sharing personal struggles online, and more whimsical subjects, such as what to listen to during a multi-day cycling challenge. Webb is also the co-host of a podcast called Detours, which takes listeners on deep dives into all things ultra-cycling.Recently, track cycling legend Gordon Singleton passed away. Editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen remember and pay tribute to the world champion and world-record holder from Niagara Falls, Ont.This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is supported by the No. 22 Bicycle Company, makers of fine titanium bikes. Founders Mike Smith and Bryce Gracey check in to discuss their unique approach to bike construction, which is all done in North America.
Fastest Known Times (FKTs) are individual time trials raced over typically mixed-terrain ultra-endurance routes. A long-established racing format in the thru-hiking and backpacking worlds, cycling FKTs have surged in popularity in recent years. In today's episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, custodian of fastestknowntimes.org.uk and ultra-endurance racing legend Molly Weaver explains what FKTs are, their rules and how to take one for yourself. Weaver turned pro in 2015, riding for Matrix Fitness Pro Cycling, before wrapping up her pro road career in 2018 riding for Trek-Drops. Weaver has gone on to become a legend in the ultra-endurance scene, competing in this year's Atlas Mountain Race, the Trans Pyrenees, the GB Divide, the Highland Trail 550 and more. At the time of recording, she holds no fewer than eight UK FKTs. She's also one of our only guests to have their own Wikipedia page. Weaver is joined by deputy editor Jack Luke and senior videographer Robyn Furtado – the only person on the BikeRadar team with the necessary experience to talk with authority about what it takes to race an ultra.

In 2023, just four years after competing in his first bikepacking race, Ulrich Bartholmoes won the biggest race of them all, the Tour Divide. The 2,745-mile route is always at the mercy of the elements, but Ulrich and his two fellow race leaders found themselves in a particularly strange (and scary) predicament when cold temperatures and constant rain left more than a hundred miles of the route unrideable. In a stroke of luck, the three racers happened upon a porta potty in the Great Divide wilderness, where they huddled together for almost 12 hours. Ulrich has a lot of stories like this from racing. A couple weeks ago, during the Atlas Mountain Race in Morocco, he got food poisoning, climbed down from a second-story window with his bike on his back at 2 a.m., and suffered a collapsed lung after a run-in with a dog...all in the span of about four days. Payson sat down with Ulrich (still recovering from the crash) in Girona last week to get the inside scoop on that now-legendary porta potty, along with his unique take on bikepacking. He talks about how using granular data actually makes racing more fun for him, what he thinks about Lachlan Morton's unofficial Divide record, and the mental recovery of such long events. He also talks about his plans for this year, which include tackling the Triple Crown. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen
Sebastian hat seine Begeisterung für Ultradistanzen auf dem Rad erst recht spät entdeckt, und war davor hauptsächlich auf hohen Bergen unterwegs. Auch sein Zugang zum Radfahren ist anders, denn eigentlich ging es ihm in erster Linie um die besondere Erfahrung in der Natur, um die Herausforderung und das Abenteuer. Doch aufgrund seiner allgemeinen Fitness und seiner mit Wetterfestigkeit gepaarter outdoor Erfahrung meisterte er seine ersten Ultracycling Rennen, gleich mit sehr schnellen Zeiten. Und so erwachte auch der Wettkämpfer in ihm.Nach dem Bohemian Border Bash, dem Transbalkan Race, dem Basajaun und dem Two Volcano Sprint war Sebastians Motivation am Höhepunkt, und rückblickend betrachtet vielleicht sogar ein bisschen zu groß – denn für die Saison 2023 hatte er sich richtig viel vorgenommen. Man merkt an seiner Rennplanung ganz deutlich, dass er öfters mit Robert Müller trainiert und ein paar Auszüge aus Roberts „reiner Lehre“ angenommen hat: Viel hilft viel!Christoph und Flo unterhalten sich mit Sebastian über seine mega Saison 2023, wo er das Atlas Mountain Race finishen und das Unknown Race sogar gewinnen konnte. Besonders vom Unknown gibt es viele spannende Einblicke. Als Saisonhöhepunkt erreichte Sebastian das Ziel des Transcontinental, doch dort gab es dann Diskussionen mit der Rennleitung, die ihn und Anatole Naimi wegen „Nebeneinander Fahrens“ sogar aus der Gesamtwertung nahm.

Episode Summary: In this episode, host Craig Dalton interviews Stefan Barth, author of the book "Ultra Cycling and Bikepacking: All You Need to Know." Stefan shares his journey into ultra cycling and bikepacking, discussing the challenges and unique aspects of these long-distance events. He highlights the importance of sleep, nutrition, and positioning in preparing for and competing in ultra cycling races. Stefan also emphasizes the need for a strong physical foundation and the role of mindset in overcoming obstacles during these demanding events. Key Takeaways: Ultra cycling and bikepacking require a different approach to training compared to shorter races. Factors such as sleep, nutrition, and positioning become crucial in ensuring success. Sleep strategies vary depending on the duration of the event. While shorter races may not require sleep, longer races necessitate planned sleep breaks to maintain physical and mental well-being. Nutrition plays a vital role in sustaining energy levels during ultra cycling events. Experimenting with different foods and finding what works best for individual digestion is essential. Positioning on the bike is crucial for efficiency and energy conservation. An aggressive position, combined with flexibility and mobility training, can improve performance and reduce energy expenditure. Building endurance for ultra cycling involves training at or just below threshold levels for extended periods. Long intervals of 20-30 minutes at high intensity can help increase the ability to sustain effort near threshold. Notable Quotes: "Just because it's possible to push through doesn't mean it's fun. Cutting off sleep is a sure way to get rid of the fun." - Stefan Barth "Your base or your fundamentals are always a good physical condition. That's what you really need to finish those events." - Stefan Barth Automated Transcription, please excuse the typos: [TRANSCRIPT] **** - (): . [00:00:00] - (): Craig Dalton: Hello, and welcome to the gravel ride podcast, where we go deep on the sport of gravel cycling through in-depth interviews with product designers, event organizers and athletes. Who are pioneering the sport **** - (): I'm your host, Craig Dalton, a lifelong cyclist who discovered gravel cycling back in 2016 and made all the mistakes you don't need to make. I approach each episode as a beginner down, unlock all the knowledge you need to become a great gravel cyclist. **** - (): This week on the podcast, I've got the great pleasure of welcoming author and coach Stefan Barth. He's the author of a book called ultra cycling and bike packing. All you need to know that was recently translated from German to English. It's a very deep technical book. About ultra cycling and these long distance events. Highlighting how different the training. Preparation and otherwise competing successfully the events. Needs to occur. **** - (): Stefan noted that in his preparation for ultrasonic. Recycling events. While he could cobble together a number of resources, podcasts, videos, et cetera. There was no singular location. That highlighted insights and philosophies and training methodologies. That he could find. So he sat on a journey to create the, this book. They look forward to jumping into the conversation with Stefan. **** - (): Okay. Before we jump in, I do need to thank pillar performance for their support of this episode. Pillars of sports, micro nutrition company. Who's developed products that intersect between pharmaceutical intervention and sports supplements for athletes. As I mentioned previously, I'm really thinking about my overall health and wellbeing this year. **** - (): Trying to make some changes from a lackluster 2023. **** - (): My nighttime routine and sleep has become a crucial part of being able to perform my best pillars. Triple magnesium is informed by leading heart rate variability researcher, Dr. Dan Pluse and used by many high performing athletes. Pillar has recently signed on as the official micronutrition partner of Israel, premier tech. It has been integral to my end of the day routine. 30 minutes before sleep. **** - (): I mix in one scoop of pillar's triple magnesium powder into a glass of water to help guarantee my body spends as much time. In REM and deep sleep as possible. Pillar uses a high dose of glycinate magnesium. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system. And ensuring you fall asleep. And stay in that restorative sleep phase longer and longer. I've been tracking my HRV data each morning and it speaks volumes as to what pillar triple magnesium is doing for my recovery, higher HRV and more closely linked REM and deep sleep cycles on top of that. I feel better. More rested and recovered. If you'd like to try pillar today, head on over to pillar performance.shop.

Would that behind us, let's jump right in to my conversation with Stefan. [00:03:22] - (): Stefan Barth: Stephane, welcome to the show. Hi, Greg. [00:03:25] - (): Craig Dalton: I'm excited to get you, to know you a little bit better and learn more about the book you wrote Ultra Cycling and Bikepacking, All You Need to Know. As we were talking about offline, I think it's a very interesting journey where many of us honor are on as cyclists from starting to do gravel events, starting to do longer gravel events, getting interested in bikepacking. **** - (): And I think as the sports evolve and the science of training evolves, it's super interesting to have a discussion with someone like you has thought a lot about. Ultra cycling, how to train for it. You've thought so much about it that you've written a book [00:04:03] - (): Stefan Barth: about it. Yeah. And glad that it got translated into English. **** - (): So more and more people are able to read it now. So I'm really looking forward to our chat. [00:04:15] - (): Craig Dalton: Yeah, it's so maybe that's a good point to let's, let's set the stage where you located and maybe follow that on by where did you grow up and how did you discover cycling in the [00:04:25] - (): Stefan Barth: first place? Okay. Yes, I'm from, from Germany and I'm located in Frankfurt here. **** - (): And yeah, so the book is about ultra cycling and bike packing. And that actually is where I started my cycling career. So it was like always. I was, I was driven to the, to the longer, longer events. And even when I started cycling as a teenager, it was always, okay, I want to go the, for the 100 kilometers to the town that is a little bit farther away. **** - (): Uh, most of my friends, they were not able to reach these towns even by the bus. And I was feeling very, very cool just to be able to go there by bike. And somehow this, this got my addiction to long distance cycling starting and yeah, it developed from that. So. I'm probably a young starter, so I think it was like with 14 years that I did my first free day ride and yeah, then it escalated quickly. [00:05:29] - (): Craig Dalton: And did you ever get drawn into kind of more traditional bike racing or was touring and long distance riding always your true love? Yeah, only [00:05:38] - (): Stefan Barth: for a short time. I had like a triathlon time. So I had a couple of years when I was more doing Ironman distance triathlon races. And that was the time when I got more professional in cycling as well, because I got more, yeah, I focused more on competitive cycling. **** - (): And during that time I did a couple of criterium races, but it never really catched me, so it's not, yeah, it was not to my taste to, to ride in a, in a bunch and to always, uh, have this fear of, of, of a crash and I'm not the, the guy made for speed, but rather for, for long stretches and to, to feel like the, the exhaustion creep into your legs. **** - (): But. Because of the duration and not because of the intensity. [00:06:29] - (): Craig Dalton: Got it. And where did your sort of professional life and, uh, and cycling start to intersect? [00:06:37] - (): Stefan Barth: A couple of years ago, it was like really the time when I, when I did those Ironman distance races that was like the beginning of putting more thought into how should I prepare my body, how should I prepare my mind what do I need to do with nutrition to get better on those races and yeah, that's probably where I started to think, okay, I could or this is my passion and I, Will, well, I want to do something in my professional career in this area in the long term, and soon afterwards I started to go part-time as a coach. **** - (): And I did like, in Germany it's called medical fitness coaching. So I studied in an area where you put a lot of weight into how to. coach athletes, but at the same time, how to do rehab and prehab. Yes. And this I did some years in part time and I had a full time job in the finance sector. **** - (): And when I published the book or the German edition of the book, ultra cycling and bike packing at that time. I had to make a decision because both careers would have been, one career would compromise the other one. And then I decided, or it was pretty easy for me actually to decide that I want to, to have a job that is my passion at the same time. **** - (): And so I decided to go all in, in coaching and writing about coaching. [00:08:02] - (): Craig Dalton: That's super interesting. And it makes sense given some of the very technical elements of the book. Around physiology that you lean into that we can talk a little bit about later. And it also makes sense that Ironman journey, which you and I share, I feel like as athletes, Ironman, it's one of those disciplines that highlights your deficiency of preparation very quickly, both physically nutrition and all kinds of things. **** - (): So I'm curious, you know, building off upon that, when did you start getting drawn into the more ultra distance cycling events? [00:08:40] - (): Stefan Barth: Soon, soon after my first Ironman actually. And at that time I did like big bike packing trips as like base my training for Ironmans as well. So I, I always try to have one vacation in summer. **** - (): And be like three or four weeks with my bicycle and ride as many miles as possible to build a strong or a strong foundation for the Ironman training. And during that time, I noticed that there's a crazy race in America called the Race Across America. I think it was some time about 2013, probably, something like that. **** - (): When I heard the first time about this race across America and that there's an Austrian guy called Christoph Strasser, who's not living too far away from, from here who is really good at it. And I was like, okay, he's crossing the whole continent in 10 days. This is crazy. And that's what I want to do. **** - (): And yeah, that's, that's how I. Got drawn into this long distance cycling. And I think that actually kicked off here in Europe, quite a, uh, fascination for this sport in general, especially in Germany and Austria. And there popped up a little more and more 24 hour cycling events. And that was the beginning for me. **** - (): Then I started to, uh, to participate at these 24 hour events and yeah, just looked how, how much can I do or how long can I go in 24 hours? And then this evolved into supported races. So I did. A couple of races, ultra cycling races where I had my own support crew which is quite expensive and at the same time, more and more bike pack, bike packing events popped up here in Europe, like transcontinental and more and more smaller ones. **** - (): And yeah, then I switched. [00:10:36] - (): Craig Dalton: You were talking about the transcontinental and some of these other. Ultra endurance road cycling events. How many days were those events taking? [00:10:46] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah, I think that the first, when I, when I started the smaller ones were two or three day rides. And my longest one was, uh, nine, nine days, one hour. **** - (): So this is a bit more than three and a half thousand kilometers. It's [00:11:04] - (): Craig Dalton: always super interesting to me when you kind of transcend that single day racing format to multi day format, to just understand the mentality. And I know some of this is included in the book, but I think it's great background before we get there. **** - (): How do you handle kind of sleep along the way [00:11:22] - (): Stefan Barth: in those events? Yeah. It's, it differs between like ultra cycling is not ultra cycling, but it's important to make this this to distinguish between how long, or is it a multi day race or is it just 24 hours? Because I think in, in a 24 hours, uh, race, at least for me, there's no difficulty and uh, no sleep at all. **** - (): So if you're doing a 24 hour race. it's okay to have a stop time about 15 to 20 minutes only. And in a 48 hour race, it's still works for me without sleep, but just if you are practiced at it and everything beyond 48 hours is where it gets really tough and where I think you just have to sleep. probably can go with a napping strategy. **** - (): It's way more fun if you sleep. And that's something I think that some people underestimate the first time just because it's possible to push through doesn't mean it's fun. And to cut off the sleeping time is a sure way to get rid of the fun. That's for sure. [00:12:32] - (): Craig Dalton: As you were, as you were pursuing these new and different style races, were you able to find the resources you needed to understand how to train and prepare for them, or was it more trial and error along [00:12:45] - (): Stefan Barth: the way? **** - (): It was a lot trial and error and yes, there was, I think nowadays it's easier 10, 10 years later, there's a lot of more content on the internet and you have podcasts that go into different topics of ultra cycling and you have bloggers that post a lot but still there's not too much scientific background of it and when I started, I tried a lot shit. **** - (): By trial and error, and I also tried to find people obviously who have done it before, uh, try to talk with them, connect with them on social media, and at the events, use the time to, to have a couple of words with them. But it was a very. Uh, sometimes frustrating way because you have to invest a lot of time and you could not be sure that you, yeah, you get a return on your investment because yeah, then you, you tried something out, uh, for example, nutrition and I had like one huge mistake I made. **** - (): When I tried to copy the nutrition, nutrition strategy of Christoph Strasser from his race cross America. And he had like some, I don't know if it's sponsored product, but like some fluid nutrition and he was always telling, okay, he drinks like 200 milliliters of this. Uh, fluid per hour and that works fine for him and I was, okay, if it works for him, I should try it as well. **** - (): And I did it during a race and this was probably really one of my biggest mistakes because I totally underestimated that he's. probably something like 40 pounds heavier than me because I'm quite short and he puts in a lot of more power. And I totally underestimated how this power and this body weight factor correspond on your nutrition needs. **** - (): And I drank way too much and I consumed way too much energy which ended. in me at the roadside feeling very, very sick. And yeah, I had to do a complete restart. So I, I did finish the race, but after lying in the ditch for, for, I don't know, 30, 40 minutes I had to, to To build in a period drinking only water, don't eating anything, and just have a complete reset for my body and my mind, and then I could start again. **** - (): But yeah, that's, that's the mistakes that I made on the road. And that's what the book is about, that not everybody has to lie in this ditch and make the same mistakes all over again. [00:15:31] - (): Craig Dalton: You sort of alluded to this in your answer there, but if we go back to sort of what inspired you to write a book, I'm just curious how you would answer that question. [00:15:41] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah, it's at the beginning I was not planning on writing a book. So probably this is the most important part because when I started it was more like, okay. I. Okay. I had a lot of conversations and I have tried a lot of things and I wanted to write it down for myself first. So it was, was not planned to, to make a book out of it, but rather a compendium for myself for future events. **** - (): And also when I thought about starting a coaching business, business, this was like a blueprint for my clients. And then I started to talk to other athletes about what I had until that moment, and they were really, really interested in this whole topic and to have a compendium for how to best prepare for ultra cycling events. **** - (): And yeah, then I started thinking, okay, maybe I should look up into more and more papers and maybe I should add some, some new chapters to it. And at that time I started with the interview. So the book incorporates a couple of. Of interviewees or a couple of interviews I did with other athletes and I started with those who are my friends, obviously. **** - (): And we just sat at a table for, I think with Mati Koester, I sat for almost eight hours and we talked the whole day about what are topics that he's interested in. And then I used these, yeah, guideline or these topics that we discussed that day to go to other athletes, also to some, yeah, some very renowned athletes, and just to ask them about their, their experiences to in these topics. **** - (): And somehow the interest was. Yeah. Overwhelming. Because when I started, I started with people I know and at the end I talked to Lael Wilcox and at the beginning I would not, would not have thought that I will be talking to someone like Lael Wilcox about her racing experiences and be able to incorporate them into, into my book. **** - (): So yeah, it was a process and it almost took four years from the beginning of. When I started to write down the first sentences until I finished the book in German, it's almost four years. So it was probably a way longer than normal, normally an author would take to write one book. [00:18:11] - (): Craig Dalton: Got it. Super interesting. **** - (): Obviously there's a lot of information about. Cycling training out there when you talk about maybe road racing or traditional mountain bike racing. And as we've mentioned, there hasn't been a lot documented about training for ultra cycling and bike packing. If there were a couple areas that you would highlight that are dramatically different from shorter races to longer races. [00:18:35] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah, we talked about one, which is like sleep, something that is completely unimportant for normal sports, or which is only important when you talk about recovery, but there's No need to cut sleep during doing races. And of course, nutrition is a big, big part because nutrition becomes even more important, the longer the races, also the whole part efficiency and how you sit on your bike, how it gets way more important because. **** - (): You develop more problems with your neck, with your shoulders, with your lower back than if you are just riding your bike for five or six hours. And also the training aspect is different. So it's not just about pushing your lactate threshold or your, your, or getting more power to the pedal because at the end, it's not necessarily the efflet. **** - (): With the most power or the best power to weight ratio that wins the races, but it's the one that has the best overall ability to ride the bike as long as possible. And with as few breaks as possible. So many questions are coming to mind on this. Oh, okay. So let's go give it a shot [00:19:53] - (): Craig Dalton: to some of those a little bit one by one. **** - (): So we talked a little bit about sleep. Obviously. Most of us, we try to get eight hours of sleep a night when we're at home, try to do rides well rested every time in order to compete in some of these events. And in order to even maybe just do them, you need to be able to sleep outside. You need to be able to sleep on the go when you, maybe it's easiest if we talk about a four day long event, for example, what is a sleep strategy that Maybe someone newer to the sport could, could realize and approach. [00:20:30] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah. Yeah. At the beginning, I would always recommend to have like a longer sleeping break every night, something like maybe three hours or three hours sleeping time, which will translate into something like four or four and a half hours stopping time. And the important thing is to sleep cycles, you know, because your, your body or your mind, your brain goes through different sleep stages during the course of the night. **** - (): And I think a lot of people already heard this that it's. It's easier to wake up if your total sleeping time can be divided by 90 minutes. And this reflects those sleep cycles. It's easier to, or you have one, you have four, four sleep stages. And one of them is where you are sleeping really, really deep. **** - (): And if you wake up or if you get woken by your alarm clock or friends, whatever during this really deep sleep this will be very confusing and you can actually, if, if it is combined with the physical exhaustion it can happen that you wake up and you're feeling disoriented and you don't really know where am I, am I racing or what's going on? **** - (): So it's good to know your own. sleep cycles because they differ from this 90 minutes a little bit and they get like they get each time you go through them during the night they get a little bit longer so if you are trying to sleep three hours around three hours the for most people it's better to sleep for example three hours and 10 minutes which reduces already the risk of waking up from this deep sleep stage. **** - (): And then I would always recommend to have routines if you're going for four or five day ride. It's way easier to go to bed around the same time every evening and to wake up around the same time every morning. It's a little bit like in your everyday life. If you're working on shifts and Yeah, you have to, uh, some day you are waking up at 6am, sometimes you have to wake up at 10am, then it gets really, really hard to to be fit in the morning. **** - (): And during the event, it's the same, it's way easier to have a routine and also transfer this routine as or as much as possible to the whole cycling event. For example, also, it's a good idea to have your lunch break around the same time each, each day which makes life way easier, especially for [00:23:06] - (): Craig Dalton: beginners. **** - (): I imagine so. One of the things I wanted to highlight, which I thought was interesting, you mentioned, you know, if you're intending for a three hour sleep, you probably need a four hour window of time. And as someone with a limited amount of bike packing experience, I can, I understand that because you need to get off the bike, you need to cool down. **** - (): You may need to change to get comfortable. You have to lay out your sleep gear, and then you have to do all that in reverse to get yourself back going. So it's interesting. To hear you highlight that, which makes sense as you've [00:23:38] - (): Stefan Barth: said it. Yes. And that's also one, uh, very, very good advice. Which I learned from, from one of my interviewees because a lot of us, we are quite organized and we like, like it's structured. **** - (): And so a lot of people when they do their first bikepacking experiences and they have this sleep break. They like, they, uh, arranged their whole equipment so that after their sleep break, they can be moving as fast or, yeah, yeah, as fast as possible. So like you're already putting out the gear that you're needing after your sleep break and that oftentimes is a huge mistake actually, because if you push your, your, your limits a little bit, then you are already a bit sleep deprived, maybe, and you're a physical, like, physically completely exhausted when you have been writing for maybe 15 hours this day. **** - (): And then you are trying to make decisions before you go to sleep. And oftentimes you need way longer to make decisions. And then those decisions are Not always the best ones because after you wake up, you notice, ah, it's way colder than I expected, or I feel way colder because just my yeah, my, my heart rate is really, really slow after, after sleeping but I already packed my, my warm clothes. **** - (): at the complete, uh, yeah, the most down, downward, uh, in my, in my bike packing bags. And so it's a good, good advice to just grab your sleeping bag, grab your mattress or whatever you use, your BB bag, and just close your eyes. Try to fall asleep immediately. Don't forget to put your alarm clock, but, uh, do the whole equipment thing and arrangements. **** - (): You can do this all after you have slept and you will notice that you are way more alert, you are awake and you will make better decisions. The second [00:25:40] - (): Craig Dalton: thing you mentioned to drill into was nutrition. And again, many of us have done gravel events, a hundred mile, maybe 200 mile. And we sort of know, Oh, we could get by with. **** - (): Sports nutrition all day long, how do, how do we need to think about it differently if we're extending to that example, four day event? [00:25:58] - (): Stefan Barth: Also there's yeah, there's some parts are for nutrition. Some parts are the same like in normal cycling, especially. during training. So it's you have the same amounts of carbs per hour that you try to get in during your training rides, for example, so that you get the best physical adaptions. **** - (): But at the same time you need to plan ahead and think about what can you get during a bikepacking trip, because you are limited oftentimes to gas station food or. Uh, if you're doing races in remote places, like the Silk Road Mountain Race or the Atlas Mountain Race, uh, well, you have to eat what you can get there. **** - (): So it's always good advice to experiment a lot with nutrition so that you know, uh, which kind of food can I take down, which kind of food can I stomach. And what do I like probably because yeah, if you are used to going with sports nutrition or with sweets I don't know if you ever tried to, to survive on those sports nutrition gills and, uh, bars for, for eight hours. [00:27:07] - (): Craig Dalton: Yeah, it does add up and you do get quite sick of them by the end of the day. [00:27:12] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah. And I think you get a feeling in your mouth that's like sticky and doesn't feel, feel very nice. So, yeah, it's good to know this in advance. And to experiment with other foods also with solid foods that you can buy like cheese or like sandwiches and like, uh, like rice and stuff like this if just to try it out and to learn, can you digest it? **** - (): Does it taste good for you during writing? So this, this would be like the first step to, to get a bit more experience with different kinds of foods. And then another part is like proteins. You need proteins on a longer ride, uh, even though you don't need them. During short rides, because your body is not, or it's, it's easier for your body to, to transform carbs into energy. **** - (): But during a four day ride, you also need proteins for your recovery periods, especially if you plan on sleeping three hours every night, because then your body actually has the time to recover a little bit [00:28:19] - (): Craig Dalton: from day to day. Where, in your opinion, where is the cutoff point for needing protein? In your cycling nutrition in terms of hours, would you need it in a, in a, in a 15 hour day or does it not come into play until you're 24 hours? [00:28:34] - (): Stefan Barth: That's a difficult question and I'm not sure if there's like scientific proof for when it gets beneficial. But I would always already included. If you go beyond those recommended durations for cycling, because like, if your ride is longer than five, six hours, this is already almost a little bit too long to build up endurance. **** - (): And if you stretch these, these timeframes, I think it's beneficial to add up some, some proteins as well. And definitely if you go beyond. beyond those 15 hours. And it's individual, you will probably notice it. For example, when I eat too, or when I limit myself to two carbs during a right, at some point, I will get a headache, I need some fats or some protein. **** - (): Otherwise, my body tells me, okay, this is this is just too restricted to carbohydrates. So if you notice something like this. it can be the solution to eat something with fats and proteins. And then there's also, especially with proteins, a huge difference between male and female athletes, because there's, yeah, like males are way more or it's It's, they are way more dependent on carbohydrates, on carbs during, during activity. **** - (): And female athletes, they are more dependent on carbs after the activity for recovery purposes. So female athletes, they also need a little bit more protein already during their [00:30:14] - (): Craig Dalton: rides. And then on to the next subject of positioning, interesting that you highlight that as a key area of consideration. Can you talk through sort of some of the differences one might want to consider in their position as they go longer and longer in [00:30:29] - (): Stefan Barth: duration? **** - (): Yes, because the longer the duration gets, the more efficient you need to be. Because if you can save only 10 Watts or every day for a writing time of maybe 16 hours each day you really save a lot and you really gain a lot of speed. And at the same time, you reduce your energy expenditure and energy expenditure is like one of the. **** - (): Key limiters in ultra cycling because it's simply it's, it's really, really difficult to get in enough energy for what you are burning. And so if you can. reach the same speed with less energy expenditure, this already is a huge, huge benefit. And so it's a good thing to have an aggressive position on your bike, actually in ultra cycling and not being too focused on comfort, because this is something many beginners Doing because bike fitters also are promoting this. **** - (): If you are going for longer rides, try to get your position on the bike, more comfortable. And my approach is a little bit different. Because I think you can you can have an aggressive position on your bike, which is at the same time, comfortable if you are putting the energy or the. Uh, time into your own flexibility, mobility and strength training, because most of the time the limiter and not the bike. **** - (): And so this is what I call efficiency in the book. Like the, the position on your bike is, is detrimental for your efficiency and you can gain a lot of efficiency by optimizing your. Own your own, uh, flexibility, mobility, and strength. [00:32:22] - (): Craig Dalton: Yeah. I know you, you go into sort of great technical detail on how to improve your strength and flexibility and mobility. **** - (): And I would agree that those are critical elements for any cyclist, whether you're trying to get a more aggressive position or not, I can only speak to my own limitations, which are definitely hindered by the lack of mobility. And I spend a lot of energy these days, trying to increase my mobility to. **** - (): Have that all day long comfort because I, I don't currently have that right now in my Cycling. You know, as I go longer and longer, eventually my lower back's gonna start to hurt and it becomes quite a limiting factor in my own personal case. [00:33:01] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah, and I think cycling is like a limiting sports or a limiting type of sports because we have, we don't have a lot of different movements. **** - (): We only have one type of movement because the, the bike completely determines how your body moves. And so the body is limited to, to there's no rotational movement. There's no sideways movement. There's nothing more dimensional. This is only happening in one in one plane. And that triggers a lot of adaptations in our body that are not that good. **** - (): And in combination with a lot of jobs where we are sitting like eight hours in front of a desk. And then we go home and then we sit two hours on the roller or on the bike and actually we are only sitting. So there is a reason why cyclists chose a sports where you are sitting because we don't like to move too much. **** - (): So [00:34:00] - (): Craig Dalton: is there any, is there any sort of silver bullet in terms of Mobility exercises that are your favorite go tos. [00:34:08] - (): Stefan Barth: Yes, definitely. Because like the, the disadvantage of the bike giving you or limiting your, your mobility and your, your range of motion during, during riding is also kind of an advantage, at least from my coaching perspective, because you can be pretty sure that almost every cyclist has the same problems. **** - (): Because we all have exactly the same movement. If you compare this to other sports, like, like football or ice hockey or something like this, like there's a lot of potential. injuries and sources of injuries and because every athlete is moving in a different different way but cyclists they are all moving in the same way so we are having the same trouble and one of those troubles is that we are losing the flexibility in our posterior chain so like the the pedal stroke is highly dependent on your quads So this is where the power comes from. **** - (): So you get really, really strong, strong quads and your body, uh, needs to compensate this because the quads, they are, they are pulling at your, at your hips and at your pelvis. So you need the same amount of force at the back of, of your body at the posterior chain. And since we don't have strong backs of the legs, because this is just pulling up the pedal again, and this is like the recovery phase of the pedal stroke what your body does is it tightens the hamstrings. **** - (): Because tight is like the compromise you, if you, if you don't have, muscles, you get tight muscles just to have like this counterbalance to the very strong quads. So it's always the first part of a mobility flexibility training for cyclists is always. Gaining more flexibility in the, in the hamstrings, in the backs of the legs and afterwards strengthening these body parts that you have a counterbalance to, to the quads. **** - (): Interesting. [00:36:15] - (): Craig Dalton: That's helpful. The final area you touched on, and I'm going to add an additional component to it. You, you talking about training and you were talking about how simple power to weight ratio, which may be the sort of the predominant metric in road cycling, Is not necessarily going to make or break your success as a ultra endurance cyclist. **** - (): So if you could talk a little bit about that, and then I would add on just a question around mindset. [00:36:45] - (): Stefan Barth: Yes. So, I think a long distance cycling, it's more important to, to increase the capability to cycle at, or just a little bit below your threshold. So if you, if you started with. Maybe you can ride four hours at 50 percent of your threshold, then it would be a very, very good or a huge benefit. If you increase this, this, uh, capability to 60 or 65 percent of your threshold and your threshold can actually stay the same the whole season. **** - (): It does not necessarily need to, to go up all the time, but it's, it's very important that you, that you can sustain, uh, huge amounts of time. Near your threshold or that you that you can gain. Yeah, that you can push up those, those percentages. So this is what I tried to with my coaches most of the time in training to, to increase their ability to, to get to those 60 or 70 percent in a, in a 24 hour race. [00:37:50] - (): Craig Dalton: And what kind of, uh, training efforts help to that end? [00:37:57] - (): Stefan Barth: It's a lot of steady state writing. So a lot of writing a little bit below your threshold. But doing this for, for longer periods of time, for example, if you are looking in the typical, uh, training plans generated by Strava or by Swift, you will see a lot of, a lot of efforts, a lot of intervals that are lasting only a couple of minutes. **** - (): And I also, I'm a big fan of having those long intervals of training. 20 minutes sometimes, or even 25 minutes almost at your threshold. And that's a very good way to get better at, at riding near your threshold. Because your body gets very, very good at. Eliminating the lactate from your blood while pushing hard. **** - (): So you, you reduce the, the level of lactate that is building up in the, in the intervals. [00:38:54] - (): Craig Dalton: Gotcha. So if you were out on a, on a training day for one of your athletes, would it be something like, you know, two or three 20 minute intervals at 65 percent of threshold with 10 minute break in between something like that? **** - (): Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yes, [00:39:10] - (): Stefan Barth: but way more than 65 percent of threshold. It's more like 90 percent of threshold for 20 minutes then. Okay. So it's like, but it's a slow buildup. If you start with this kind of training and you are going maybe with eight minutes in each interval and do this three or four times, then you are, this is a good start. **** - (): And if you do this a couple of weeks. At some point this will, it will make, it will make, uh, like you put a, put, put a switch on and it will be, you will be able to go for 20 or 30 minute intervals. Yeah. [00:39:43] - (): Craig Dalton: As you're thinking about for your athletes, these longer events and selfishly, I'm thinking about my own 200 mile or 360 kilometer aspirations this year, obviously in a lot of the training plans you might see, you might have a six hour training ride or an eight hour training ride. **** - (): These events are going to last longer than that. You know, it might be a 15 hour day for me and certainly for a 24 hour, four day event, you're talking about thousands of kilometers. How do you in training kind of build up to that capacity to continue on for these distances? [00:40:21] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah, you need to stretch the traditional cycling distances from time to time. **** - (): Because I like to I or I call this challenges. Because you you need to know how your body reacts to those long rides. They are not very efficient in building up endurance. Like I said earlier, there's like Five to six hours. If you are already a very good cyclist, maybe you even benefit from a seven hour endurance ride, but everything that is longer than that, just yeah, just you need more recovery time afterwards, but you don't get the physical adaptation or not more physical adaptation than from a four or five hour ride. **** - (): But in ultra cycling, we're also in what you are doing on the gravel bike, you need. Sometimes a ride that lasts 10 or 12 hours, just so that you know, okay, how will I feel when I'm really exhausted and how will I cope with nutrition? Will I be able to eat at the end? Because I think that's something probably, you know, it from your triathlon time eating gets difficult the longer you are, you're active. **** - (): So you really need to know. Okay, does the food that I can stomach after five hours, can I still stomach it after 10 hours? And how, how does my butt hurt after 10 hours? Because this will hurt different than after five hours. And it's good to know how this feels and how you can cope with it. And then you can, you can think about a strategy. **** - (): How you will, how you will tackle this problems during unbound. So yes, I incorporate rights that are longer than 10 hours from time to time, but limited. Not, it's not, it's no good if you do this every weekend. [00:42:14] - (): Craig Dalton: A couple questions that came up after your last comment, Stefan, around training. So I remember from marathon training, like we'd only run 22 miles and we'd never run that full distance thinking you'll be able to get there on race day. **** - (): The second thing for my ultra marathon training was we would often do a long day on Saturday and then follow it up by a medium day on Sunday. And my understanding of that philosophy was, Hey, we can't beat you guys up and we can't have you running 35 mile days. Quite regularly, but we can do a 22 mile day on Saturday and a 15 mile day on Sunday to try to kind of make the body feel like it's done. **** - (): This long event. Does any of that track with the type of training that makes sense for ultra ultra cycling? [00:43:03] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah. [00:43:04] - (): Craig Dalton: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And the final thing I want to touch on it. I mentioned it a bit earlier. It was just Sort of mindset. And I thought about this a lot as we were talking about sleeping and waking up from a three hour sleep, having to get your gear ready and get going again. I could just see in myself struggling to kind of. **** - (): Put, put pedal in front of pedal after, you know, just sleeping for three hours. So can you talk about the importance of mindset and maybe if there are any tips and tricks that one can learn to keep, keep pedaling forward? [00:43:40] - (): Stefan Barth: Yes, definitely. Because you, you need to find like a sweet spot between recovery. And exhaustion during training. So, I also like to do those back to back sessions. For example, also with those long interval sessions we spoke of earlier, that I am doing, like, maybe on Friday, some really long and hard intervals, followed by a long ride on Saturday, followed by a short ride on Sunday, to build up this exhaustion over the weekend. **** - (): But still without compromising your recovery completely. So yeah, that's, that's a good way for, for those working athletes. [00:44:27] - (): Craig Dalton: Interesting. I mean, it sounds like with all this, you know, preparation and doing the work leading up to your event is key. It's probably a trite thing to say, but I think that work for ultra cycling clearly is a lot longer than it is for shorter events. **** - (): Because I do think you need to prepare yourself mentally for All the intricacies around your sleep system and getting up and preparing the different types of nutritional needs, as you've, you've outlined and the, just a different mindset you need to go going into these events. [00:45:01] - (): Stefan Barth: Yes, there's, there's a couple of, of little hacks that I, I like to include or that I included in the book. **** - (): Because when it comes to mindset. I have a little bit a different opinion than a lot of people out there, I think, because from my point of view, the mindset is a little bit overestimated when it comes to ultra cycling or some ultra adventures, whatever you call it. Because in the general public, it always comes down too much to the mindset. **** - (): And from my point of view, your base or your Your fundamentals are always a good physical condition and that's what you really need to finish those events. And of course you can finish an ultra cycling event or a bikepacking event just by mindset and by iron willpower. But this will mean that you will do sacrifices and maybe even sacrifice your health in. **** - (): in some situations. And I don't like that too much about this sports. And I don't like that in the general public people focus so much on this. So from my point of view, it's always more important to build up your physical capacity. And then mindset is important, of course, because like you said, you go out there and you will. **** - (): Have uncomfortable situations but then it's more, uh, willpower what you need. You need to like, you need small life hacks that will, that will keep you going. And I like to, to dig a little bit into how our brain works in these parts, because our brain is like still the same brain that we had thousands of years ago. **** - (): And it's divided into parts that are. focused on emotional fee or on emotions, on feelings. And you have parts in your brain that are focused on the rational thinking. There was a couple of tricks to better get those rational thinking parts in your brain working. And this will help you a lot in ultra cycling events because yeah, you will trigger a lot of those, those those feelings that are very ancient in, in humans and your brain will correspond. **** - (): With reactions that are also very ancient and those are oftentimes not the best, the best, uh, reactions. So it's important to, to keep rational and to keep your thinking going. So one life hack, for example, is very, very easy. And that's the, the stop button. You can visualize a stop button. Uh, once you notice that your thoughts are dysfunctional and this stop button or the sign like on the road sides on the highways, I'm not sure how they are looking in the US, but here in Europe, it's like a big red sign where in white there's written stop on it and just by visualizing this sign, which is a very, very easy picture to visualize. **** - (): You can, you can stop those emotional parts in your brain from taking over completely. And you gain a few seconds. And this is oftentimes enough to start rational thinking. And once you start rational thinking, you will notice that you, you are way better, you are better able to keep your willpower because you keep yourself in control. **** - (): Yeah. And it's, it's a difference between motivation and willpower. So like motivation is the thing that, uh, gets you going in the preparation and which is probably the, the reason why you signed up for the event and which is the reason why you are willing to put in all those training hours and then during the event itself, you need to Willpower, that's the thing that will bring you to the finish line. [00:49:00] - (): Craig Dalton: Yeah, a hundred percent. I think Stefan, that's a good place to end it. I appreciate the time this evening calling in from Germany. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to document everything in this very thorough book on ultra cycling and bike packing. I think you did a great service to that community and the world. **** - (): We'll certainly put links to how to find the US version of the book in the show notes of this podcast. [00:49:25] - (): Stefan Barth: Yeah, that's great. Thanks for your invitation, Craig. Cheers. [00:49:30] - (): Craig Dalton: That's going to do it for this week's edition of the gravel ride podcast. Big, thanks to Stefan for joining the show. That's going to do it for this week's edition of the gravel ride podcast. Big, thanks to Stefan for joining the show.

Tristan Cardew, aka @tristantakephoto, sold everything and moved from Sydney, Australia to Girona, Spain to build a life that revolved around cycling and visual storytelling. Five years later, he's racing gravel and road at a high level and has built the creative career he dreamed about making happen. His YouTube channel, TristanTakeVideo, has more than three million views and is built around training with Tour de France stage winners, interviewing the world's best riders and going behind the scenes with teams at the top level of the sport. Tristan is also a standout documentary filmmaker and when I saw his self-shot doc about racing the Atlas Mountain Race, one of the toughest bikepacking tests on the planet, I knew I had to have him on Choose the Hard Way. The race is more than 800 miles long with 65,000 feet of climbing across remote and absolutely brutal terrain. Completing it is a feat. Making a compelling self-shot documentary while racing it is a next-level achievement. I was excited to have this chance to talk to Tristan about his path as a creative, the story behind his Atlas Race doc, explore the question of how much is enough, and to get a preview of his upcoming documentary about racing the 466-mile Badlands gravel race in Spain. Find Tristan on Instagram @tristantakephoto and check out his YouTube channel, TristanTakeVideo. Choose the Hard Way is a podcast about how doing hard things is fun and builds stronger humans.

Vivre des aventures sportives et trouver un moyen d'en vivre. C'est un point commun que nous partageons avec mon invité du jour qui revient de l'Atlas Mountain Race.Benjamin Rogé était au Maroc il y a quelques semaines pour courir l'Atlas Mountain Race, une course en autonomie organisée par le même organisateur que la fameuse Silk Road. Un gros défi que Benjamin a fait en ayant très peu d'expérience en VTT même s'il a une bonne expérience en vélo de route.Benjamin m'a expliqué son parcours sportif, ce qui l'a amené jusqu'à cette course, de comment il s'est préparé, d'une rencontre improbable au milieu de nulle part et du déroulement de cette course.Maintenant Benjamin a d'autres projets. Une course équivalente en Grèce et puis la Silk Road. Mais alors comment financer tout ça ? C'est aussi ce dont nous avons discuté.Liens pour le suivreSon compte instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ben.pepere/Les liens pour le suivre et découvrir son film et son podcast : https://linktr.ee/pepereLes courses :Atlas Mountain Race : https://www.atlasmountainrace.com/Silk Road Mountain Race : https://www.silkroadmountainrace.comHellenic Mountain Race : https://www.hellenicmountainrace.cc Hébergé par Acast.

Jeff Kerkove is truly a legend of bikepack racing. Jeff and his friends were racing bikes offroad in extreme and unique ways before the words "Gravel racing" and "Bikepacking" were commonplace in the cycling world. In this conversation, we dive into Jeff's start in the 12/24 hour mountain bike race scene, a 14 year battle with finishing the Colorado Trail Race, his most recent race effort in Morocco at the Atlas Mountain Race, and much more bikepacking and bikepack racing goodness.
Erst zwei Wochen zu spät abliefern und dann auch noch gnadenlos überziehen! Aber wir können das erklären. Wirklich! Denn erst waren Ann-Kathrin und Felix krank. Und dann hatten wir mit Luisa Werner und Sebastian Breuer zwei so tolle Gäste … da haben wir einfach noch ein bisschen länger am virtuellen Lagerfeuer gesessen. Gut, ein bisschen liegt es vielleicht auch an Gast-Moderator Dan Zoubek, dem einfach immer noch eine Frage eingefallen ist. So sprechen wir mit Luisa und Sebastian natürlich in erster Linie über das Atlas Mountain Race, das beide im Februar erfolgreiche absolviert haben. Luisa hat gewonnen, Sebastian den dritten Platz bei den Männern gemacht. Aber wir reden auch über zerstörte Hände, sündhaft teure Fahrräder, Solo-Grouprides im Wendland, radsportliche Beziehungsmanager, gemeine Bienen, Handschuhdiebe mit vier Pfoten, Thymiankaffee und drei Kilo Fett. Und vor allem: Immer am Limit! Oder so ähnlich. Ach ja, falls Lachlan Morton und Mattia de Marchi das hören sollten: Der Herr Breuer hat was vor mit euch.

Im Besenwagen rattert es endlich wieder. Im Windschatten der Begleitfahrzeuge draften wir über flämische Feldwege und Kopfsteinpflaster. Typisch Opening Weekend! Beim Omloop und in Kuurne lässt Jumbo-Visma die Konkurrenz mit leeren Händen stehen und geht mit noch volleren Taschen nach Hause. Wir schauen genauer in die Portemonnaies und stellen fest, dass sich nicht nur die Vorbereitung der Teams deutlich unterscheidet. Aus Flandern fahren wir stets weiter Richtung Süden und treffen nach einer langen Fahrt die Langstreckenspezialistin Luisa Werner in Grenoble. Nach einer für ultra distance Verhältnisse kurzen Ausfahrt im Besenwagen, packt uns die Siegerin des Atlas Mountain Race ausreichend Snacks ins Handschuhfach, legt noch ein paar Daunenjacken auf die Hutablage und lässt uns dann im Dunkeln die Heimreise antreten. — SALE!

Herzlich Willkommen zur 81. Ausgabe des BiketourGlobal Podcast Season 2! "In der Mitte war es eine schöne Ausfahrt!" - mit diesem Statement fasst Nils Thomsen seine Fahrt in Marokko beim diesjährigen Atlas Mountain Race zusammen. Ich hatte mit ihm im Vorfeld über seine Vorbereitung gesprochen und nun ist er zurück, hat erfolgreich gefinished und wir sprechen über sein Abenteuer und die Strapazen. Und er hat unterwegs Aufnahmen gemacht, die wir entsprechend einspielen. Lehnt euch zurück und genießt unser Gespräch, das euch mitnimmt auf die staubig-steinigen und sehr kalten Pisten des Atlas in Marokko. Viel Spaß!

Jetzt wird's wild! In Folge 51 von GravelTIME - dem Gravelbike Podcast von gravel-collective.com sitzen wir im Gravel-Camp im Süden Spaniens und plappern munter drauf los. Mit dabei sind Schotter-Veteran Jon Woodroof, unsere Gravel-Collective-Buddies Robert Mende und Dan Zoubek, sowie als spontaner Ehrengast Lasse Strickert. Lasse haben wir auf einer unserer Touren hier zufällig aufgegabelt, als er mit einer Panne an seinem selbstgebauten Bambus-Bike am Wegesrand stand. Nach seinem Abi ist er gerade mit Rad und Pack auf Reise durch Europa. Genau davon erzählt er ein bisschen. Dazu reden wir über das Atlas Mountain Race und die allgemeine Entwicklung in der Welt des Gravelbikes. Es geht vielleicht ein bisschen drunter und drüber. Aber es war lustig. Also ... zumindest für uns. ;-) Hört rein, habt Spaß und: Gravel on! ----- Links zur Folge: Gäste: * Lasse auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lasse.on.tour/ * Jon auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonwoodroof/ * Dans Website: https://danzoubek.de Events: * Cyclingworld Europe: https://www.cyclingworld.de/ * Atlas Mountain Race: https://www.atlasmountainrace.com/ * Border Bash Aragon: https://www.borderbash.cc/aragon2023 * Hellenic Mountain Race: https://www.hellenicmountainrace.cc/ News und mehr: * Neue Bikes von Bombtrack: https://gravel-collective.com/news/gravelbike-neuheiten-2023/gravelbike-neuheiten-2023-bombtrack-bikes.html * No Borders Gravel: https://www.instagram.com/no_borders_gravel/ * Die Band von Omar: https://www.instagram.com/tinariwen/ * Old Man Mountain: https://oldmanmountain.com/ ---------- Die Links zum Gravel Collective: * https://gravel-collective.com * www.instagram.com/gravel_collective/ * https://www.youtube.com/@gravel_collective * www.facebook.com/gravelcollective/ * www.komoot.de/user/thegravelclub/ * Ann-Kathrins Blog: https://triathlove.de/
The Atlas Mountain Race sets off for its third edition next week. In anticipation of the bikepacking race, we brought in Ashley Carelock to look back at her Moroccan experiences in last year's October edition of the race, while Stephen Fitzgerald dropped into the chat to add his own perspective from his outing to Africa in 2020. If you are interested in following along to the 2023 Atlas Mountain Race, be sure to check out the race website, here. Additionally, back in the depth of the pandemic, Stephen posted this expansive write up about what that race was like. You can find that here. Lastly, Ashley eloquently wrote more about her race on her blog, which you can access here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jochen Böhringer, unser heutiger Sitzfleisch Gast, ist ein echter Allrounder im Ultra Radsport. Ob unsupported oder mit Team, ob Straße, Gravel oder MTB: dieser Mann hat schon alles gemeistert. Im Gespräch mit Christoph Strasser und Flo Kraschitzer erzählt Jochen, wie er mit seinem limitierten Zeitbudget Familie, Beruf und Training unter einen Hut bekommt. Er nutzt nicht nur die Abende unter der Woche für kurze Intervall Trainings, sondern auch die Wochenenden für ausgedehnte Touren, teilweise sogar mit einem familiengerechten 4-er Tandem.In der abgelaufenen Saison bestritt Jochen das Atlas Mountain Race in Marokko, wo er sich mit Hochwasser und sehr herausfordernden Bedingungen arrangieren musste. Trotz einer schweren Verletzung im Frühling nahm er das Training bald wieder auf und konnte sich im letzten Moment fit an den Start begeben und dann eine Top Platzierung erreichen, wovon er uns heute erzählt. Ohne auf all seine Erfolge und Finishes bei 24 Stunden Rennen, dem Race Across Germany, Hope1000, Italy Divide Trail und Race Across Italy im Detail einzugehen picken wir einige seiner Höhepunkte und wichtigsten Lernerfahrungen heraus:Kann man nach einem Sturz inklusive kaputtem Rad das Bike einer Passantin ausborgen, das Rennen fortsetzen und noch gewinnen?Welche Gefahr birgt Schlafentzug und ist das Schlafbedürfnis bei MTB Rennen höher oder geringer als auf der Straße?Ändert sich die Bereitschaft Risiko in Kauf zu nehmen wenn man Familienvater ist?Passt ein 4-er Tandem in den Radkoffer nach Kirgistan, und ist das Silk Road Mountain Race für einen gemütlichen Familienurlaub geeignet?Links zu Jochen Böhringer:Instagram @jochenboehringerWebsite/Blog: https://ultra-jo.com/ +++++Erinnerung: Wir laden euch ein, uns kurze Intros oder 1-minütige Einsprecher zu schicken, wo ihr euer Feedback und eure Sitzfleisch-Erfahrungen mit unseren HörerInnen teilt.

Ep.5 A wrap – Seating in Olympic Velodrome in London during the Bespoked and with a mild hangover, Stefano discusses the 2022 Atlas Mountain Race with Josh. Not an analysis, but more a story about this special race. Yes, this is the last episode, and we will wave you all with a classic Ride your Bike!
Herzlich Willkommen zur 74. Ausgabe des BiketourGlobal Podcast Season 2! Nach mehrfacher Verschiebung konnte nun endlich die zweite Ausgabe des Atlas Mountain Race in Marokko stattfinden. Unter den knapp 165 Starter*innen war auch Jochen Böhringer, Sieger des HOPE 1000 2020 und Erstplatzierter der Italy Divide 2022. Eigentlich wollte Jochen dann noch das Silk Road Mountain Race in diesem Jahr fahren, doch ein Genickbruch im Bikepark vor 4 Monaten beendeten erstmal seine Planungen. Und dass er nun in Marokko am Start stand, war an sich schon ein Wunder. Und dass er gleich den zweiten Platz einfuhr, eine daher noch unglaublichere Leistung. Wir sprechen über seine Vorbereitungen, den Unfall, seine Recovery und das Rennen. Daher gehen wir sehr ins Detail, was für alle interessant ist, die sich für solche Races und das Bikepacking allgemein interessieren. Viel Spaß!

Wir begrüßen diesmal mit Jochen Böhringer einen Sportler mit einer besonderen Geschichte, die vor einigen Wochen auch ein happy end hatte: mit dem 2. Platz beim Atlas Mountain Race, dem Gravel- und MTB-Rennen in Marokko. Eine Geschichte, die zwischenzeitlich allerdings viel Drama bereithielt. Inspirierend und motivierend für alle, die mit Rückschlägen zu kämpfen haben.
Ep.5 The Finish Line – Imagine me walking on the finish line and talking with people around, riders, content experts, dotwatchers, and waiting for the protagonist of this podcast to arrive and say something. Maybe.This is Episode #5 of Josh Ibbet's Adventure from the Atlas Mountain Race on the BroomWagon Podcast

Our guest today is Brady Lawrence, a Seattle-based documentary filmmaker. His first feature documentary, "Into The Rift" was selected for 'Best Event Documentation' in the Bikepacking 2020 Awards and tells the story of the Atlas Mountain Race in Morocco. A gruelling event created by the one and only Nelson Trees, creator of the Silk Road Mountain Race. It was the Silk Race that lead to Brady's next project in which he followed the 2021 version of this race releasing a film called "How to Bikepack the Silk Road Mountain Race". We sit down with Brady and unpack what goes into the creation of these beautifully made films. Enjoy.

Max Riese kommt ursprünglich aus dem Straßenradsport, hat sich aber mittlerweile auf Bikepacking und Ultra-Distance Racing spezialisiert. Er ist das Silk Road Mountain Race, das Atlas Mountain Race und den Two Volcano Sprint mitgefahren. Für dieses Jahr stehen das Trancontinental Race und der Rhino Run an. Bei einem Gast mit so viele Bikepacking und Ultra-Racing Erfahrung bietet es sich immer an, über Bike Setups und Equipment zu sprechen. Und genau das haben wir getan. Vielleicht etwas weniger strukturiert, als geplant, dafür aber sehr umfangreich. Letztendlich sind Packlisten und das Bedürfnis nach Komfort einfach eine sehr individuelle Sache. Wie ihr euch eurem idealen Setup gut nähern könnt, dafür hat Max einige Tipps parat.

Mit Outdoor Erste Hilfe Expertin Dani Hornsteiner vertiefe ich das Thema Erste Hilfe im Radsport und Bikepacking nochmal. Dani ist Ausbilderin für Notfallmedizin und bei der Bergwacht Bayern aktiv. Sie ist Bergwanderführerin, Mountainbike Trailscout und gibt seit 20 Jahren Outdoor Erste Hilfe Kurse. Dani hat sich nach dem Podcast mit Rettungssanitäter Raphael Grau gemeldet und angeboten, das Thema Erste Hilfe nochmal zu vertiefen und eure Fragen zu beantworten. Als Expertin in der Bergrettung beschreibt sie, wie die Rettungskette funktioniert und wie die Rettungskräfte verunfallte Personen lokalisieren können. Das ist besonders offroad und im Alpinen Gelände nicht so einfach. Hier hat die erfahrene Bikerin sehr gute Tipps für die Vorbereitung für unsere Rennrad, Gravel und Bikepacking Touren parat. Wir sprechen darüber welche Apps wann empfehlenswert sind. Was im Ausland anders als in Deutschland funktioniert, veranschaulicht sie anhand des Atlas Mountain Race und ihren eigenen Erfahrungen als Bergwanderführerin in Marokko.

Great show today, sitting down with Berlin based Raphael Albrecht. An ultra-endurance cyclist taking on events such as the Silk Road Mountain race & Atlas Mountain Race to mention but a few. Now working full time on Orbit 360, a gravel cycling festival and initiative where their homepage has the great line - "Welcome to the galactic future of (gravel)-riding. We are a bunch of friends who want to make ultra cycling accessible for everyone! We discuss a number of topics today such as Raphael's personal experience riding the Silk Road (great story in there involving a local herdsmen, a cycling jacket and freezing conditions). We touch on the idea of unsupported bike packing races and how the idea of 'unsupported' can become a bit blurry in an age of winning and media exposure. Lastly and probably most importantly for me, we discuss the Ride For A Reason or #ridefar initiative. A great way of putting in some big miles and testing ourselves while at the same time helping those less fortunate than us to be able to join the wonderful world of cycling. So overall a great show. I hope you enjoy!

Regardless of the method of transportation, by bike or by foot, Jenny Tough loves being in the mountains. I first had the pleasure of chatting with Jenny way back in Episode 3 after she finished the Atlas Mountain Race in Morocco. This time around we're talking about her recent adventure in the Silk Road Mountain Race where she was the fist woman across the line, completing the 1800km race, which boasts a whopping 35,000m of ascent in just 11d:14h:6mI had never met her in person until she tracked me down just outside of Castlegar this past summer, while I was on the return trip of my BC Epic yoyo. Definitely one of the highlights of that trip.Jenny @jennytough is an explorer, an endurance athlete and finds meaning by pushing her limits in the mountains. She has just completed a her major project of running a mountain range in every populated continent. The Tien Shan (Asia), The High Atlas (Africa), The Cordillera Oriental (South America), The Southern Alps, The Caucasus Mountains (Europe) and The Canadian Rockies (North America).Jenny uses her adventures as learning experiences and suggests people challenge themselves physically as an effective pathway to personal development. I couldn't agree more and it's something that I preach a lot. One of the biggest takeaways she has garnered from her travels is just how privileged Canadian women are. She learned this first hand while travelling to places where women are considered second class citizensIn this episode we discuss her adventures and lesson learned along the way. We chat about mindset, setting intentions, mitigating fear as well as other topics. I always enjoy our chats and hope you find inspiration and words of wisdom from this adventurous woman.Heat Waves - Glass Animals 2020 singleSave 25% off a consultation at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for supporting me!Visit Rollingdale Cycle!

Zurück aus dem Urlaub, direkt rein in eine neue Sportart: Triathlon. Zu Gast sind die Brüder Hannes und Lasse Popken vom Plattfuß Podcast. Die beiden interessieren sich nämlich für Ultra Cycling und so haben wir uns für eine Spezialfolge verabredet. 2 in 1 sozusagen. Oder 1 in 2? Auf jeden Fall eine kurzweilige Doppelfolge. Hannes und Lasse erzählen von ihrer etwas anderen Sicht auf den Triathlon, der Tour de France, den Velo Games, und der ewige Vorbereitung auf das eine, große Event. Zusammen stellen wir diverse These auf, warum sich die Triathlonwelt nun auch für Gravel und Ultra Cycling interessiert. Und warum Trainer:innen die Einheit auf der Rolle mit einem Ausflug in den Wald ersetzen. Mir hat es großen Spaß gemacht mit den Plattfüßlern und ich empfehle euch unbedingt auch in den anderen Teil des Podcastes auf https://plattfuss-podcast.de/ reinzuhören und ihnen einen netten Gruß da zu lassen.

The amazing Lian Van Leeuwen is my guest today. Lian is the founder of Shift Cycling Culture, an adventurous cyclist and cycling photographer, based in Rotterdam. Lian photographed and blogged at almost all the relevant fixed gear and self support bikepacking races like The Red Hook Crit, The Transcontinental Race, The Atlas Mountain Race and The Silk Road Mountain Race. In June she will be covering the inaugural Migration Gravel Race. Most of these races and events have been featured in this podcast, so I‘m very happy that we can ad yet another perspective through Lian‘s lense. Literally. We also talk about an important question: How can the cycling culture be shifted? Lian tells us about the Team AMANI initiative, that is aimed at trying to move the dial on inclusivity in the sport by creating race opportunities for East African riders. And of course Lian explains why she founded „Shift Cycling Culture“ and shares her new project: Cracked Earth Film with us.

n this episode I talk with Jenny Tough, a freelance adventurer, writer, and film-maker. Jenny has competed (and won the women's category) in two of the most notorious ultra-endurance bikepacking races: the Silk Road Mountain Race (2019), and the Atlas Mountain Race (2020). In addition to competing in bikepacking events, Jenny is an avid expedition runner and the first person to traverse the High Atlas mountain range, and the Tien Shen mountain range, through solo and unsupported journeys. I chat with Jenny about her experiences and mindset during some of these adventures, and we also discuss some of the ways in which Jenny gives back to the adventure community through her educational, and inspirational content.

Chas Christiansen aka Notchas is my guest today. Chas is an artist, a professional fixed gear & ultra endurance athlete, a former bike messenger and simply an overall inspiring person. Besides the Transcontinental Race, Chas took part in the inaugurial Atlas Mountain Race, FURTHER and the Stage Coach 400 - a self support Mountain Bike Race. We first met when racing fixed gear crits at the Red Hook Crit series. While we do dwell a little in fixed gear memories, this podcast is about much more than that. Chas was one of the people that „helped“ me with his advice and encouragement in preparation for the Transcontinental Race. He’d done it with his partner Nico Deportago-Cabrera in a team the year before and then raced it again the same year as us. We talk about the spirit of ultra races like the Transcontinental Race and why Mike Halls mum reached out to Nico and him after their first TCR. This is definitely not the first time it happens, but it still amazes me, how someone from far away, from another continent can have an impact on your life. Through the internet. A very special episode for me. I hope you enjoy it as well! SUPPORTER: Ortlieb Waterproof: https://www.ortlieb.com/en_us/ The world’s leading brand of waterproof premium equipment. Made in Germany.

Che cosa ti spinge a iscriverti ad una gara di 1.145 chilometri e circa 20.000 metri di dislivello in completa autonomia, con partenza da Marrakesh e arrivo a Sidi Rabat, sul mare, dopo aver attraversato le montagne dell'Atlante e dell'Anti Atlante su strade coloniali e sentieri sterrati? La voglia di mettersi alla prova, di sperimentare. Di conoscersi un po' di più. Di guardare in faccia e affrontare con i mezzi che hai situazioni incerte che possono avere un esito inaspettato. Questo è il racconto della Atlas Mountain Race 2020 di Federico Damiani, in parte già pubblicato su Alvento 10 di maggio. Ma il secondo episodio di Parole Alvento è composto da ben tre capitoli. Infatti c'è una seconda parte dedicata ai consigli tecnici per affrontare una ultracycling di questa portata: come attrezzarsi, come gestire i momenti di difficoltà, cosa mettere nelle borse e tanto altro. La terza parte, infine, è un'intervista con Federico che ci racconta dalla sua viva voce il viaggio in bici attraverso l'Atlante. E soprattutto ci spiega perché valga la pena vivere un'esperienza del genere.Testo: Federico DamianiInterpretazione: Claudio RuattiMontaggio/editing: Brand & SodaPer il testo completo della puntata e per ulteriori info, ecco il link al materiale integrativo: https://alvento.cc/atlas-mountain-race-il-podcast/

Jon is someone I can talk with for hours, he always fascinates me with his positive mentality and driven attitude. Jon's attitude of life is that there's always a solution. He set up Twotone in Amsterdam working with some awesome brands such as Wahoo and Zwift. He also has one of the BEST newsletters I have ever read, so make sure you check it out: https://twotoneams.nl/
