Mansfield native Matthew Failor just wrapped up the Kuskokwim 300—one of the toughest sled dog races in the country. After battling strong winds, drifting snow, and unexpected travel delays, he finished eighth, crossing the line in Bethel, Alaska, with six of his twelve dogs. But for Failor, the Kusko 300 was more than just another race—it was his final tune-up before the 2025 Iditarod. In this episode, we dive into his experience on the trail, the challenges he faced, and how he’s preparing for the 1,000-mile journey to Nome.

The largest public lands conservation opportunity in our lifetime is at hand. The Bureau of Land Management is finalizing plans for the long-term management of an expanse of public lands in Alaska that is larger than the state of Ohio.  There are 28 million acres at stake, an unfathomable wealth of wildlife, big game, fisheries, waterfowl, and the headwaters of rivers like the Kuskokwim and the Yukon. These are known as the D1 Lands, protected from mining and energy development by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. In 2020, the management of these lands was thrown into limbo. Now, the BLM is asking for the American people to determine the future of these lands. Join us to learn more, as Hal interviews Alaskan Rachel James, of Salmon State.   And then be sure to comment through BHA's Action Alert.

In 2019 Steve Cannon rolled across Knik Lake, an hour northwest of Anchorage Alaska, with more than a hundred others riding, skiing and on foot, down the Iditarod Trail. Leaving McGrath, more than 300-miles away, the 17 remaining would ride and walk deep into the unknown, pushing through fresh snow, across barren tundra, up melting rivers and across a frozen sea as they made their way the 1000-miles to Nome. 

Upon his return home, Cannon sat down with Dave Mable to capture his experiences on film. This is his story of crossing Alaska by bike, from the shores of Knik Lake, to the edge of the Bering Sea.

In 2019 Steve Cannon embarked on a journey with a handful of other intrepid souls, to ride their bikes along the Iditarod Trail from near Anchorage, across the Alaska Range to Nome, a thousand miles away on the Bering Sea. Bike Talk with Dave's Dave Mable followed along to film a documentary about the journey. Once the two had returned home, Cannon and Mable sat down to record Cannon's experience, from his first fatbike ride all the way through Alaska to Nome. This is the first half of that recording - taking listeners from Cannon's first ride to the starting line of the Iditarod Trail Invitational on the frozen Knik Lake just outside of Anchorage. Tune in next week for Part 2 which will take us, with Cannon, from the starting shotgun blast through the Alaska Range all the way to the Bering Sea. Also, starting this week we'll be randomly dropping a new Bike Talk with Dave Feature: Bike Talk Shorts!

Hannah Shell is a professional gravel privateer, powered by Vantage Racing and fueled by The Feed! She's racing the biggest gravel races in the U.S. as well as the Lifetime Grand Prix. She sparked my interest when she posted a strong opinion regarding the structure of the elite women's race at the recent UCI Gravel World Championships (NOT the Pirate Cycling League's Gravel Worlds in Nebraska!). I contacted her to have a conversation about the ever evolving gravel landscape. She was open and willing to share her opinions, which I did as well! We also get to know this long-time professional road racer who got hooked on gravel with a great result in her first gravel race a handful of years ago!It was fun getting to know her and I really enjoyed our conversation about the state of gravel. Be sure and follow her adventures on her bike and as she travels the country in her RV with her hubby Jake and two cats - find her on the gram at @hannhgshell. If you have opinions about the growth of gravel at the UCI level - look for that contact form here and let your voices be heard!Thanks again for listening to Bike Talk with Dave!

Well - we did it - an on the bike interview! Matt Zimmer, a pro roadie riding with the Project Echelon Team, lives in Des Moines - and is a super good dude -he's great to have in the local group rides - from the break legs off Tuesday night world championships to the friendlier (but not slow) Saturday morning rides - so a few weeks ago I asked if he'd like to join me on a ride and do an interview during a ride - he enthusiastically agreed - with the caveat that if it didn't work, we'd have an old school sit down conversation indoors - so we got together for a ride on a beautiful Monday late afternoon, clipped on some microphones, stuck a recorder in my back pocket - and went out for a ride - so it's a bit weird - we go through some tunnels (and you can really tell!), had to pause to wait for some cars to pass at intersections - and of course, my mic sucked - but you're here to listen to Matt, not me, so settle in and enjoy my recent ride and conversation with Matt Zimmer as we talk all about his life as a cyclist and the health of cycling in the U.S.Follow Matt on instagram at Matt.Zimmer and connect with Project Echelon online at www.projectechelonracing.com.If you'd like to support Bike Talk with Dave, you can do so by rating, reviewing and sharing!

Maeghan Easler found cycling, like many others, as rehab for a running injury. After some time as a successful triathlete, she decided to focus on the bike, but only for a short time, as she decided to continue with school in pursuit of further education in Oregon. The challenges of COVID led her back her home in Iowa where another running injury led her back to the bike, where she found herself pinning a number on as well as doing some Zwift racing. On Zwift she represented the U.S. at the ESport World Championships - which led her to a spot on the United Cycling Team. In the summer of 2022, she found much success on the road, as well as gravel, placing 3rd overall in the Green Mountain Stage Race and 6th overall at the Gravel World Championships.

Single Speed USA is more about mountain biking with friends, new and old, having fun and enjoying some local brews than it is about going fast on high tech 11-speed full suspension race bikes. Held in a different location each year, locations earned by competing in some crazy cooked up contest, this year it migrated to Deborah, Iowa, a small college town in north east Iowa surrounded by limestone bluffs, trout streams and challenging mountain bike trails. I brought my mic and camera (and a full suspension, fully geared bike… quite the opposite of everyone else there, except for at least one guy, whom you'll meet) and started recording. My goal? Take you to Deborah to enjoy the atmosphere, trails and meet some of the crazy folks who came from as far as Arizona and New England to laugh, have some beers and push their single speeds to the top of Van Peenen Bluff. There is some cussing here and there, as you might expect. It is a fully Single Speed Crowd. 

Thanks to Jesse Reyerson (Spinner), who organized the event this year, for kindly welcoming me into the SSUSA Posse. To find out where and when the 2023 event is, follow Single Speed USA (SSUSA) on Instagram and Facebook.

Like many of us, Sunny Gilbert found her way to cycling through running. A mid-distance runner at Mizzou, Gilbert stood atop a great number of podiums, including at the NCAA National Championships. After completing her undergrad work she continued her studies in Boulder, CO, where she discovered triathlon (and a number of other sports, like mountain biking and snowshoe racing). She eventually discovered the cyclocross bike and rose to the top of the U.S. cyclocross scene, where she's not only taken home a silver and bronze medal at the U.S. National Cyclocross Championships, but won the 2019 Single Speed CX World Championships!

Starting at 10,600- feet, the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race is considered one of the highest and most challenging mountain bike races in the world. In 2004 Dee and Dave Mable pushed off at E. Sixth and Harrison for a 12-hour, 100-mile race over six long climbs on their tandem bicycle. That first year the pair earned their buckles by a scant four-and-a-half minutes. In their three attempts that followed they landed twice on the second step of the podium and once just inside the time limit. The following is a conversation between the two, recounting the highs and lows, the challenges and victories they discovered along the way as they rode their tandem in the Race Across the Sky!

Daniel Hurd, or Lt. Dan, was in a dark place in 2017. Overweight, no money and no hope led him to try to end his life not once, but three times. Thankfully he was unsuccessful - and a persistent friend finally convinced him to ride a bike on which he learned to just take it “one pedal at a time.” In the five years since his last suicide attempt, he's ridden in all of the Lower 48 states, started a non-profit to help those who see no hope, and has conducted 100 suicide interventions. 

I met him surfing through Iowa on RAGBRAI spreading smiles and I had to know his story. Lt. Dan has found a joy in life and works every day to put a smile on a strangers face. My hope is that our conversation puts a smile on your face, and the joy Dan found on a bike spreads and continues to spread! 

Find Lt. Dan at www.ridewithdanusa.com and his organization - One Pedal At A Time Movement for Suicide Prevention can be found at www.opaatmovement.com. Please connect, support and learn! 

And if you need help today call the Suicide and crises hotline nationwide at 988

In it's 49 years rolling across Iowa, The Register's Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa, or RAGBRAI, has become a rolling parade of 20,000-plus stories. It's my role to uncover some of them and share them with the world, so in 2022, my family and I packed our bikes, sleeping bags, tent (sans fly) and my microphone and set off for Sargent Bluff to roll for the next week across Iowa. 

I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into some of the people that make this such a great and unique experience. Whenever I caught sight of something or someone interesting, I grabbed my mic from it's pouch and started recording! I met way more people than if I had just rolled through in search of pie, and most everyone was excited to tell their stories. So sit back, relax and enjoy this little compilation of RAGBRAI 2022, as seen through the eyes - or rather heard through the ears of - Dave.

Fifteen years ago Charles Werb faced at red pill or blue pill kind of choice in his life: Buy a Harley motorcycle or sail across Antartica. He chose the blue pill, the color of ice, and began to work on his invention: The Swoosh Snowsailer - a craft capable of sailing across the frozen continent. Along his journey, he became a publisher of adventure and sports magazines and eventually found himself in the Adventure movie business, promoting films on climbing, ultra running, cycling, skiing, paddlesports and more, and eventually founded the company Adventure Entertainment with a couple of partners. When the pandemic shut movie theaters down, the trio quickly adapted to an online streaming service, known now as Adventure Plus, and is now home to more than 500 adventure films, including cycling, skiing, fly fishing, kayaking, running and more.

More than 20 years ago, Scott Sumpter dreamt of a place on the internet where people could go to find fun cycling events, everything from party rides to road races. He put his fingers to work and gave the world a one-page list of hundreds of events throughout his home state; Iowa. But what he really built was a vibrant community of cyclists of all types: trail riders, criterium racers, fat bikers, mountain bikers, cyclocross racers, bar-to-bar riders and everything in between. In this episode we meet the man behind the html coding; Scott Sumpter. We hear the history, challenges, and passion that now spans two decades. BikeIowa.com is a great model for places that are not Iowa, as a way to build a strong cycling community and connect cyclists of all kinds. Thanks for listening to Bike Talk with Dave!

I reached out to Katie Compton to see how she's doing in her post-cycling life, what it's like to transition out of something you've done your entire life, and find out what she's up to. now. I also wanted to talk about her experiences with WADA (the World Anti Doping Agency) and USADA (the US Anti Doping Agency). From what I'd read and heard about her, and other athlete's experiences, it's a process slanted away from the rights of athletes and to the governing bodies. Did we solve the world's problems? Is cycling now a clean sport? Was Katie treated fairly? This conversation will likely leave us all with more questions - but it's a discussion.Thanks for listening to Bike Talk with Dave!

We are nearing the end of Season 1 of Salmonfest Radio! This episode “You Can't Eat Gold” spotlights an important and familiar story of a salmon landscape facing the threat of a proposed large, open pit gold mine; this time it's the Donlin Mine in the Kuskokwim watershed.  We'll hear from two Salmon Champions working to protect the communities that depend on the salmon of the Kuskokwim river. Together they will help us understand why considering the needs of people and an entire ecosystem is more important than gold.
