I was in England for the third time in my life, but it was a first time for many things: I met Camille McMillan and Josh Ibbett for the first time, I heard 5 thousands different English accents for the first time, and I experienced the magic of the Further for the first time. All this in a live episode from one of the coolest ultraendurance bikepacking races of the spectrum. Check the BroomWagon Podcast

We sat down with Jan Favre to talk some more about hardtails, industry fads and his single-speed adventures. Jan felt triggered by the Hardtails episode we recorded with Luise Rohland over the summer and sent in a thoughtful riposte to our conversation. Naturally, rather than letting the DM rot in our inbox, we invited Jan for a recording to elaborate on his message, some of the thinking and rationale behind his arguments and of course, his own riding. As an experienced shop mechanic, he has a great perspective on things like bike geometry, suspension and what really makes a difference out on the trail. Also, in a quest for simplicity, Jan set up his personal bike as a single-speed and it was interesting to hear how his BFeMax is holding up, from general riding at home, to park days with Anna Newkirk, all the way to multi-day adventures exploring the former Iron Curtain along the Bavarian-Czech border with his dad.

With the trails and route still being defined when Eddie O'dea set out to become the first person to complete the new 6,000 mile Eastern Divide Mountain Bike Trail, it was sure to be an adventure. And it was. But after almost three months, 6,223 miles, and 425,967 feet of climbing, he made the self-supported trip from Newfoundland, Canada, to Key West, Florida, on his mountain bike. In this interview, we talk about the experience, the bike and gear he used, and how in the world to plan something so ambitious. You can check out the route, download details and maps, and get more info about the Eastern Divide Trail at Bikepacking.com. And check out Eddie's cycling performance services at CycleTechniques.com. If you'd like to donate to the charity he rode for, head over to GeorgiaCycling.org. And for more pics and details on his bike and the route, check out our story about his ride, too. WANT MORE?

This week Clint and Dawson sat down with Eddie O'Dea. Eddie is the first rider to complete the Eastern Divide Trail bikepacking route. The EDT is a 6000 mile dirt centric route from Cape Spear, Newfoundland to Key West, FL. He did this as a fundraiser for Georgia Cycling Association which is a youth cycling organization that cultivates a passion for the healthy lifestyle of cycling across the state. Eddie is a co-founder of the Georgia Cycling Association and is an accomplished rider with 22 years of racing and cycling adventures under his belt. Eddie has held course records on Trans North Georgia (TNGA), Huracan 300, and Stagecoach 400 routes. In 2017, Eddie completed the Tour Divide.

On Sunday before the group start of the Arizona Trail Race Katie Scott was texting her friend who was doing the race with the typical well wishes. That short interaction sparked something in Katie that had been brewing for years. After thinking about doing the AZT for years she decided in that moment that this would be her year. So she threw fears and doubts to the wind and moved forward with her last minute decision and started to gather everything she need. A process that would continue up till the morning of the race.

Our guest for Episode 23 needs no introduction in the bikepack racing world. Kurt Refsnider is arguably the greatest bikepack racer of all time. He was the first person to ever win the "bikepacking triple crown", winning the Tour Divide in 2011, the Arizona Trail Race in 2018, and the Colorado Trail Race in 2019-- plus, he's earned countless other bikepack racing wins and FKTs. Kurt has also been remarkably active in the bikepacking community. He's the owner and head coach for UltraMTB ( www.ultramtb.net), co-founder the bikepacking advocacy organization Bikepacking Roots (www.bikepackingroots.org), and has recently become much more involved with the climate activist organization Protect Our Winters (protectourwinters.org). If your curious about Kurt's background and previous year's adventures, I highly recommended checking out the podcasts I listened to in preparation for this absolutely fantastic conversation. Those podcasts are: Bikes or Death Ep. 24, Overland Archive Ep. 9, The Adventure Stache (Sep 29, 2020), Overland Archive Ep. 31, and BIKES BIKES BIKES! (Jul 4, 2022). I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it!

Meet my friend Kim Fera. She has inspired me to start exploring Bike Packing and Touring, but today she talks about her experience hiking for 4 months on the Pacific Crest Trail this past summer. And of course, we talk a little about how to get ultra-light for Bike Packing.

Have you ever thought bikepacking sounded like something you'd like to try but didn't know where to start? Well this podcast episode is for you!Laura Heiner, founder of Idaho Women's Bikepacking, shares everything you need to know about bikepacking as a beginner. This includes what gear you need (and don't need), where to sleep, how to find routes and navigate, how to find people to ride with, and more. Laura is the absolute best at teaching this stuff (she taught me!), and you'll finish listening to this interview feeling prepared to give it a shot.

In this episode we talk about some creepy experiences we've had camping! 

In 2006 Goat and two friends set out to ride mountain bikes from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, and after three and a half years of travel, the trio completed the mother of all bikepacking trips. Riding the Spine is just one of many adventures Goat has experienced over the years, including living in a tree house and building and working on countless bikes. In this episode we ask: How did you upbringing influence your adventure-based lifestyle? How did you get into cycling, and particularly long-distance riding? What was it like living in a treehouse for 4 years during college? How did the idea of Riding the Spine come about? Who was in the group? What was your bike setup at the start, and how did it evolve during the ride? Why did you and the crew get arrested in Arizona? Which sections were your favorites to ride? Have you been on any bike adventures since the trip? Do you have any planned for the future? Get more stories from Riding the Spine at ridingthespine.com and keep up Goat's latest adventures at wandergoat.com. Cover photo by Melinda Thompson. This episode of the Singletracks podcast is sponsored by Explore Brevard. Professional mountain biker Adam Craig says it's one of the top three places in the universe he's ever ridden. Where is this magical mountain biking nirvana? It's none other than Brevard, North Carolina, home to Pisgah National Forest and DuPont Recreational Forest. The area boasts over 300 miles of peerless singletrack, not to mention hundreds of miles of gravel roads, creating a near endless array of routes, terrains, and challenges to explore. Four vibrant bike shops will get you sorted, whether you need gear, service, or a top notch rental. Top it off with an array of craft breweries, cafes and gathering spots that have earned Brevard the title as one of the best small towns in America in 2021. It all adds up to a premier mountain biking destination you'll want to experience for yourself.

This month our guests are Marybeth and Brently of BBB Adventures. After our guest intro and a short catch up, we get into our main topic, Bike Touring. We start off with clearing up the difference between Bike Packing and Bike Touring then talk about how our guests got into cycling and then leveled up to bike touring, all things RAGBRAI, Marybeth and Brently's bike touring trip from Washington State to New York City called the Apollo Mission, and the Boise Bicycle Project and how that is tied into the Apollo Mission. We then wrap things up with Trev's favorite questions, and read our very first official review!

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!

I've long been the introverted, do-it-myself type. I like riding long miles alone, contemplating in silence. One might think these are ideal traits for a bikepacking racer.And they probably are. But my recent finish of my first ever bikepacking race, the Smoke N Fire 400, had almost nothing to do with being alone, and everything to do with a community.A community of women to be exact: Idaho Women's Bikepacking. Founded by Laura Heiner, a long-time racer and multi-time finisher of the SNF 400, who was frustrated with the lack of women racing these events, the group taught me (and a lot of other women) how to bikepack.Full Story: https://www.femmecyclist.com/smoke-n-fire-400/Support the show

We all know that Angela Naeth does not shy away from a challenge or a new experience, and so when the opportunity arose to go bike packing, she was in. And even after she found out that they would be riding almost 150 miles a day, she still packed her stuff (first in grocery bags, as you will hear) and headed off to Pennsylvania for what turned out to be a wild adventure. From riding with no lights, to knocking on a random cabin in the woods, to eating Doritos and old soup at a lonely inn, this is one story you don't want to miss! 

In this podcast, we hear from Sarah Swallow, who was instrumental in developing the Sky Islands Odyssey bikepacking route in Southern Arizona.

Herzlich Willkommen zur 73. Ausgabe des BiketourGlobal Podcast Season 2! Ich spreche mit Simon Schumacher von Ergon über - na klar - Ergonomie beim Fahrradfahren und was man alles dafür tun kann. Neben einer allgemeinen Einleitung in das Thema, widmen wir uns dann den Schwerpunkten Sattel, Lenkerband/Griffe und Schuhe/Sohlen. Und klären am Ende warum ein Bikefitting Sinn macht und wie man es vielleicht auch zuhause machen kann. Insgesamt ein rundum informatives Gespräch mit vielen Tipps und Hintergrundinfos zum richtigen Sitzen und schmerzfreien Fahren - egal ob beim Bikepacking oder Race, mit dem Gravel-, Mountain-, Trekking- oder Rennrad. Viel Spaß! Hinweis: Ergon hat mir einige Produkte zum Test zur Verfügung gestellt. Daher ist das auch Werbung.

Scott Morris is a self-described “lifelong mountain biker, trail mapper and programmer.” He's the creator of Track Leaders, a live tracking website for bikepacking races, and TopoFusion mapping software. In this episode we ask: How did first make the connection between mountain biking and computer programming? Why did you and your brother decide to create TopoFusion? Have there been growing pains as bikepacking races like the Arizona Trail Race become more popular? Will some of the unofficial races need to become more official and organized as they get larger? Are you able to keep the list of ultra endurance records for races like the Tour Divide and Huracan 300 up to date? Do you think there's a value in keeping official records for races like this, and for FKTs? What are the challenges involved in maintaining an official list like this? What led you to create Track Leaders, and how does it work? Are SPOT devices still the best way to track outdoor races? Do you see other devices like smartphones becoming viable for this anytime soon? As a programmer, how do you account for GPS data accuracy when tracking races? Is it easy for someone to cheat? Why is elevation data so notoriously difficult to track accurately with a GPS? When did you fully commit to the digital nomad lifestyle? How'd you finally make the jump? Do you have any tips for going full nomad? When you go for a ride in a new place, do you rely on GPS entirely or do you also pack a paper map? What are you planning for your next adventure?

My guest today is Gemma Baird who recently set a new Singlespeed FKT (Fastest Known Time) on the Highland Trial 550 in Scotland. After battling breast cancer, surviving homeschooling her three kids through the pandemic, and turning 40, Gemma needed a big goal. That's when she set her sights on the 2022 HT550 group start. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to make the group start, but that' didn't stop her. In August she lined up at the start line solo for an ITT (Individual Time Trial). She finished with a time of 5d 9h 48m which was good enough to best the previous SS FKT by Isla Rowntree. Please visit www.BikesorDeath.com for a full writeup on this episode with an amazing gallery of photos from the HT550.

Seth DuBois just completed his biggest bikepacking challenge yet at the 2022 Silk Road Mountain Race. SRMR has quickly captured the attention of racers and fans from around the world. The stunning imagery and landscape that is Kyrgyzstan seems to lure people in. Seth felt that pull and he answered the call. This year, he joined 154 other brave souls from around the word to challenge themselves on the 1,120 mile course that scales over 100,000 ft.

JaBig, a.k.a. Jean-Aimé Bigirimana, is known for his huge rides, including a 15-month, 17,000 km trek on a fixie across Canada that took him to the Arctic Ocean. His most recent adventure was around the U.S., from the northwest, down the Pacific coast, east across southern states, north on the Atlantic side and then back west. In this episode, JaBig looks back on his big ride. He's a great storyteller with tales about bike theft, serious attention to gear, harrowing rides through unwelcoming areas and the great generosity of the people he met. He has some eye-opening insights into differences between Canadians and Americans. Throughout the trip, he raised funds for World Bicycle Relief.Also in this episode, the Matts—Pioro and Hansen—discuss the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec et de Montréal.

Tobias Müller will vom Bodensee an den Genfersee radeln. 800 Kilometer in acht Tagen. Auf der zweiten Streckenhälfte warten viele Höhenmeter. Hilft ihm eine Zitrone über den Berg? Ist sein Gravelbike schneller als ein Weltmeister-Mountainbike? Und wie zauberte er seine Sitzbeschwerden weg? Gravelbike gegen Mountainbike Gravelbikes boomen. Die Mischung aus Rennrad und Mountainbike soll das effizienteste Fahrrad für wechselnde Untergründe sein. Nur: Nach wissenschaftlichen Standards hat das noch nie jemand gemessen. «Einstein» macht das Experiment. Und lässt Tobias Müllers Gravelbike gegen die schnellsten Mountainbikes der Profis antreten. Ist es flach oder steil, werden die Gravelbikes den hohen Erwartungen gerecht. Eine Überraschung zeigt sich hingegen bei der Fahrt abwärts. Mentaltricks mit Zitrone Irgendwann müssen alle beissen. Auch Tobias Müller – und wie. Gut hat er im Vorfeld mit dem Sportpsychologen Heinz Müller Strategien entwickelt, wie er neue Kräfte mobilisieren kann. Welches persönliche Energiewort ihm hilft, wie er Musik auswählen muss, damit ihn diese pusht, und was eine Zitrone mit ihm in der Krise macht? Das Experiment zeigt es. Tricks gegen Sitzbeschwerden Sein Sattel bereitete Tobias Müller schlaflose Nächte. Was, wenn der schon am ersten der acht Tage langen Tour die üblichen Schmerzen verursacht? So wendet er sich an die Bewegungswissenschaftlerin Manuela Weibel. Doch ihre Vergleichsmessungen sind ernüchternd: Ein Sattelwechsel bringt keine Linderung. Wie sie es dann doch noch schafft, Müllers Sitzbeschwerden verschwinden zu lassen? Mit Tricks, dank denen jeder Hobbyfahrer etwas gegen Sitzbeschwerden tun kann.

In this podcast, we talk to Marley Blonksy. Marley is one of the founders of All Bodies on Bikes, and one of their tag lines is “All Bodies Are Good Bodies. All Bikes Are Good Bikes.” In this episode, we talk about both subjects- bodies and bikes.  We touch on bikepacking, feeling comfortable in our bodies, social media, gravel racing, role models in the cycling community, and how Marley left a high powered corporate job to follow her passion of cycling and inspiring others. We hope you take a lot away from this conversation, because, like the title of our podcast states, cycling (and life) should be about showing up as we are.  

We talk a lot about pack lists for a traditional camping tour, with our panniers stuffed to the brim with tents, sleeping bags and stoves. But what about the non-campers and the minimalists who don't need to haul their shelter with them? On this episode we talk about must-carries for the inn-to-inn and credit card tourists!

Bikepacking ist Trend: Veloabenteuer mit leichtem Gepäck. Auch Tobias Müller geht auf grosse Tour. Sein Plan: vom Bodensee zum Genfersee, 800 Kilometer in acht Tagen. Unterstützung erhält er von der Wissenschaft. Doch schon bald sind die schönen Pläne trotz Koffein und Wattmessung Makulatur. Fahren in grünen Bereich Tobias Müller erlebt in den Wochen vor der Tour, was wohl so viele kennen: Die Trainingskilometer, die man sich vornimmt, kann man nicht annähernd abstrampeln. Wie schafft man trotzdem die Fahrradtour, auch ohne dem Hammermann zu begegnen? Der Sportmediziner Patrick Noack hat Tobias Müller durchgecheckt und ihm genaue Leitlinien mitgeben können für seine Puls- und Wattbereiche. Er gibt aber auch Ratschläge, wie man ohne Watt- oder Pulsmessung fahren muss, damit man eine Tour schafft – egal, wie wenig Trainingskilometer man in den Beinen hat. Koffein, das legale Doping Kaffee ist ein Lieblingsgetränk unter Radfahrern. Denn: Koffein gilt als Leistungs-Booster. Doch neueste Erkenntnisse zeigen: Nicht alle Menschen profitieren davon. Es kann gar sein, dass Koffein die Leistung reduziert. Tobias Müller macht den Test: Ist er, der keinen Kaffee mag, ein Koffeintyp oder nicht? Und wieviel würde ihm Koffein bringen? Die Ergebnisse erstaunen. Nicht nur die Ausdauerleistung auf dem Rad hat sich verändert mit Koffein – auch seine Handkraft. Mit dem Blutzuckersensor gegen den Hungerast? Eigentlich sind sie ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel für Diabetespatienten: Die Blutzuckersensoren. Doch nun entdecken sie Sportler wie der Schweizer Radprofi Stefan Küng oder der Ironman-Weltmeister Kristian Blummenfelt. Sinkt der Blutzucker, soll man essen. Funktioniert das? Ist der Sensor der vielgepriesene Gamechanger? Tobias Müller testet, ob er tatsächlich den gefürchteten Hungerast verhindern kann. So viel sei verraten: Ob man Hobbyfahrer oder Radprofi ist, macht einen immensen Unterschied.

Shane Hitz has been busy building routes and putting on gravel races in Wisconsin for many years. This week he's here to tell us all about his routes, the Red Granite Grinder, and Wisconsin gravel riding and bikepacking. After this conversation I'm even more excited about at the Red Granite Grinder on Oct. 15th! The Red Granite Grinder is quickly making a name for itself in the gravel world. What makes this route really special is the hard work that Shane and his counter parters at Ironbull to get access to private land that you can only ride if you enter this race! Listen to today's episodes for all the details and when you're ready to sign up head over to Ironbull.org. I'll be there this year covering the event from a media perspective and riding the 25 mile group ride on Friday. So make sure to ride over and say hi! Ready to sign up for the Red Granite Grinder - Sign up here and I'll see you there in Oct! This weeks quote ~ "Pay attention! This is your life. You're going to want to know what it feels like."

This week we are chatting with bikepacking champion, extraordinary endurance athlete, and all around awesome human being Alexandera Houchin! Alexandera has had an inspiring athletic journey culminating in dominant performances at the Tour Divide, Colorado Trail Race, amongst many other long distance bike races. She rides her single speed bike for days and days rocking steel toed boots, fixes bikes with sporks, and continues to smile and laugh despite any obstacle thrown her way. More importantly, she's a super down to earth, resilient, positive person who was an absolute joy to chat with! I'm seriously in awe of her accomplishments and her humbleness. In this episode we chat all about her recent record setting ride on the 486 mile Colorado Trail, her journey from back of the pack in her very first race to becoming the first woman to win back to back Tour Divides (a 2,745 mile race from Canada to Mexico), and the lessons she has learned along the way. This one was one of my favorite episodes of the show so far! My mind is blown by the adventures Alexandera has had and her evolution as an athlete. I'm so honored she would spend some time to chat and felt like her perspective on endurance sports was incredibly relatable. I hope she inspires all of you to take on some major challenges in 2020! I know my motivation was through the roof after recording the episode!

Abby in her own words:   “Growing up, the outdoors wasn't a place I spent much time, unless you count doing all nighters in the park guzzling Bacardi Breezers and shivering into my Jane Norman parka as a teenager.   It wasn't a place I felt I belonged. I hated exercise and actively avoided it at all costs, so much so, I'd hide in the showers to bunk PE lessons.   During lockdown, my dad gave me his 23 year old mountain bike and I set myself a challenge to cycle the distance from John O' Groats to Lands End around my hometown to keep myself from melting into the sofa.   I LOVED it! I felt strong and alive as I whooshed through the isolated streets. Is this what it felt like to enjoy exercise? Had I finally found 'my sport'? 300 miles in, I discovered an enormous Ovarian Tumour.    2 weeks later I was having surgery and my virtual cycle adventure was paused.   The tumour turned out to be a rare form of Ovarian Cancer. I was lucky, it hadn't spread to other organs which meant surgery was all I needed, however, I discovered the dire stats surrounding Ovarian Cancer and feeling lucky to be alive, I wanted to do something to raise awareness and vital funds for the disease.   I decided to cycle John O' Groats to Lands End for real, but this time, I'd make it as fun and spicy as possible. I strapped my gear to the bike and headed for an off road route following GB Divide and Great North Trail. I'd be camping most nights and carrying everything I needed.   I didn't train, I didn't even cycle much before I left, I just had blind faith that if I pedalled one foot at a time I'd eventually get there.”   ***   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    You can support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

I have another TD conversation with you. I know, I know… I just put one out with Bonnie, but the two conversations are a little different and talk about different aspects of the TD, so I figured you might find some value in another chat.Ty Domin @tydomin raced the Tour Divide in 2017 finishing in 19d 8h on a singlespeed and it's always fun to hear about his experience. Ty is also a talented sewer who designs and fabricates his own Bikepacking luggage. He and is partner Chelsea are just gearing up to ride around the world and plan on making Canada their new home, so expect to see some great posts on his Instagram feed in the near future.As usual, Ty and I chat about all sorts of different topics and I think you'll enjoy it. He shares stories from his own TD ride, and we talk about different aspects of the Tour Divide that weren't covered in my podcast with Bonnie.Thanks for listening.Save 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.Visit Rollingdale CycleThanks to Ottalaus Inc. for their support.Thanks to Spandex Panda for their support.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for supporting me!

Racing the EWS for the first time is a daunting prospect, but Eric Olsen decided to spice things up by bike touring between the first three rounds to boot. So right after his return from Europe, we sat down with Eric to talk about where the idea came from and what his goals were for the trip; how things went, including encountering golf-ball-sized hail & (almost) running over a bunch of schoolchildren; raising money for World Bicycle Relief & the idea of bikes as transportation; how his fellow racers reacted; his company, Jank Components; and a whole lot more.TOPICS & TIMES:Tour de EWS inspiration (3:25)Goals for the trip (6:01)Route & itinerary (9:53)Golf-ball-sized hail & other memorable moments (14:50)People's reactions (18:20)Packing a bike & gear (25:48)Racing after bike touring (33:37)EWS prep & track walks (35:45)Running over schoolchildren (37:37)Race support & self-sufficiency (43:13)European bike touring culture (44:43)World Bicycle Relief fundraiser (46:56)Lessons learned & teasers for the future (48:50)Jank Components (54:19)Eric's Big Idea (57:25)RELATED LINKS:Tour de EWS BlogBecome a Blister MemberBlister LabsThis Week's Gear GiveawayBlister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideOUR OTHER PODCASTSOff The CouchGEAR:30Blister Podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
