Ten years ago, Kurt the Trail Whisperer and four friends rode the 32-mile non-Wilderness portion of the Toiyabe Crest Trail, the longest trail in Nevada, about 30 miles south of Austin and Highway 50. The 13-hour adventure was ripe with bushwhacking and overgrown trail that hadn't seen maintenance in 40 years. After the adventure, Kurt thought to himself if the TCT was maintained, it could be one of the greatest mountain bike epics in the country, so he bought himself a reciprocating saw and got to work in 2018. Eight years later, after thousands of hours of labor with friends cutting 32 miles of brush, the TCT is clear from Ophir Pass to Kingston Canyon. Last weekend, Kurt, Pow Bot and a cast of friends including Chad Kelly and Dean Kemp from @battlebornadventures shuttled to Ophir Pass to celebrate the achievement by riding the 32-mile maintained stretch of the TCT. It was a historic ride, reaping all the benefits after eight years of labor. Because of its high elevation, staying in the alpine between 7,500 and 10,500 feet, Pow Bot considers the TCT one of North America's greatest mountain bike epics, calling it the closest thing to a long-distance, point-to-point ski traverse you can do on a bike.

Full crash and health discussion on ShiftLess Episode 152Hell of the North Texas is 100% ON for this Sunday, but we have some critical logistical changes due to a recent bike crash and an unexpected health update. We're also hitting pause on most major Spinistry events until September so we can focus on health and build out a massive community vision for the Midnight Massacre weekend.Here is everything you need to know for this weekend's ride, what's going on behind the scenes, and how you can get involved in our upcoming fall events.Due to physical limitations from my crash and potential Saturday rain, we have to adjust our weekend operations. Please read carefully if you are riding this Sunday:Course Marking (30 & 45-Mile Only): We plan to mark ONLY the 30-mile and 45-mile routes on Saturday afternoon, weather permitting.Self-Navigation for Long Routes: If you are riding the 75-mile or 110-mile routes, do not expect course markings. You must use GPS navigation. The routes were verified last week and are solid; final map adjustments will be released by Saturday morning at the latest.No Guaranteed SAG or Sweeps: I am unable to sweep the routes in the Jeep as I normally do. Please be self-sufficient and do not rely on a SAG vehicle. If you want to volunteer as a riding sweep for any of the distances, let us know Sunday morning—we'll make it worth your while!NETT Trail Conditions Needed: We were unable to scout the Northeast Texas Trail (NETT) section between Bagwell and Roxton. If you have ridden this stretch recently or scout it before Sunday, please leave a comment or message us with condition updates.Aid Stations: Designated water tables, snacks, staging area support, and finish line refreshments will still be fully stocked and ready for you.Last Saturday, I took a ridiculous tumble on a bike path after clipping a signpost. While getting my thumb stitched up was easy, a massive hematoma developed in my left hip a few hours later. It requires 10 to 14 days for my body to process and is completely wiping out my energy levels right now.The blessing in disguise: During the ER scans to check the bleeding in my hip, doctors incidentally found an early-stage mass on one of my kidneys that is likely cancerous. While that is tough news to hear, finding it this early is the absolute best-case scenario for this type of issue—it rarely shows up on standard blood work. My oncologist appointment is set for July 29th to map out the next steps. Thank you all for the incredible messages and support; welcome to adulting!To give me time to sort out my health, standard Spinistry events are on hold until the Midnight Massacre weekend on September 19th in Gainesville.We are partnering with our friends at 35 & Liberty to turn that weekend into a massive, air-conditioned North Texas cycling community expo. We want to bring together local clubs, bike shops, keynote speakers, clinics, and vendor demos into one space.We need your feedback: Would you be interested in a massive community Bike Swap that Saturday afternoon before the ride? Let us know in the comments if you would want to buy, sell, or display!Summer Pop-Up Rides: While major events are on hold, we will still host casual, weather-dependent pop-up rides throughout July and August. Look out for impromptu night MTB laps at Knob Hills and Northshore, as well as some nighttime gravel grinders.Hell of the North Texas: Sunday UpdatesPersonal Health Update: The "Why" Behind the ChangesThe Future: Midnight Massacre & Summer Pop-Ups00:00 Race Day Changes06:15 Health Update09:03 Midnight Massacre Weekend

Abrimos el podcast con la gran noticia de la aprobación por parte del Gobierno de la nueva FP de mecánico de bicicletas; concretamente, el Curso de Especialización de Formación Profesional de Grado Medio en Montaje Integral y Mantenimiento de Bicicletas y Vehículos de Mobilidad Personal. Una titulación oficial de 690 horas que egulará por fin la formación de los profesionales mecánicos en España, cubriendo tanto la mecánica convencional como la creciente demanda en bicicletas eléctricas y de carga. Este anuncio se ha encuadrado dentro de la presentación de los 31,3 millones de euros que el Gobierno ha destinado a modernizar la FP y aprovechamos el podcast para analizar el impacto que puede tener en nuestra industria. Por cierto que recordamos cómo AMBE lleva años luchando muchos años por lograr una titulación homologada para nuestro sector y cómo llevan desde 2021 trabajando junto al FP Maristak de Durango para sentar la base de lo que ahora se ha logrado. En cuanto a las novedades de producto, Canyon ha sido protagonista absoluto esta semana con la nueva Lux Trail, una bici enfocada al trail más pedaleador y rutero o, como ellos mismos dicen, al concepto downcountry. En MTB también han presentado la nueva Exceed CFR y la Exceed CFR Gravel. Con la misma base de su cuadro Exceed, el cuadro rígido para MTB, ofrecen una XC al uso con una orientación rutera y menos competitiva o una “Monster Gravel” para las carreras de ultradistancia. Siguiendo con las novedades de la marca alemana, también ha presentado la nueva Speedmax, la 6ª generación de su bici de triatlón que aumenta su capacidad de carga, mejora su aerodinámica y pese a todo ello logra ser más ligera. Otra de las novedades es que BOSCH, con una actualización (la 1.36) de su aplicación, ya ha puesto a disposición de los usuarios la posibilidad de personalizar el Extended Boost y la funcionalidad Drivetrain Tensioner. Con esta actualización, BOSCH hace realidad las novedades que presentó en mayo. Además, te recomendamos algunos de los contenidos de interés que hemos hecho estos días. Este episodio ha sido gracias a Kintoa All-Mountain Race, una experiencia de mountain bike brutal, limitada a 150 participantes, en el Pirineo navarro cuya primera edición tendrá lugar los días 12 y 13 de septiembre en uno de los hayedos más espectaculares de Europa, el Bosque de Quinto Real. Una carrera por etapas de estilo All-Mountain puro, con tramos cronometrados tanto de subida como de bajada por senderos naturales increíbles.

We're back at Casa Verde for Episode 152 with a wide-ranging, candid conversation that takes a few unexpected turns. We kick things off with a check-in on the Tour de France—analyzing Tadej Pogačar's mountain dominance, high-speed descending errors in the peloton, and the brutal realities of pro road racing. We also dive into the shifting action camera market, breaking down GoPro's financial struggles and $20M emergency financing, why DJI and Insta360 own the space, and the privacy implications of Meta smart glasses.The core of this episode is a transparent, real-talk update from Kevin following a frustrating neighborhood crash caused by an unmarked roadwork sign sitting right in the middle of a local bike path. What started as an urgent care visit for nine stitches in his thumb and a massive hip hematoma led to an ER CT scan—and an unexpected, incidental discovery of an asymptomatic mass on his kidney. Kevin shares his unfiltered perspective on the diagnosis, why he considers the bike crash a weird blessing in disguise, and his absolute refusal to stop riding bikes.This entire experience has lit a fire under our local advocacy efforts. With federal bicycle infrastructure funds being redirected away from critical long-distance projects like the Northeast Texas Trail (NETT) and the Great American Rail-Trail, grassroots community organization matters more than ever. We lay out the vision for the September 19th Midnight Massacre weekend: bringing North Texas cycling organizations (DORBA, FWIMBA, Big Pig, and more) together under one roof to rally for better local infrastructure and rider safety.To wrap things up on a lighter note, Chef Brad breaks down the culinary madness of his latest 9-course rye whiskey pairing dinner—featuring chilled sweet corn and peach soup, 53-day dry-aged Wagyu, and horchata tres leches—before diving into the everyday headaches of DIY car repair and pool filter battles.Support Local Advocacy: Whether you ride gravel, road, or MTB, get involved with your local clubs and trail organizations. We want to see representatives from across North Texas out with us this September!ShiftLess Podcast: Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your audio.Leave a comment below with your thoughts on action cam setups, your local trail infrastructure, or just to share your support.

The Cycling Tech Brief: the cycling tech that actually matters today — and whether to update, wait, or ignore.Karoo Build 1.640.2470 brings color-coded trail difficulty maps to all Karoo devices — Update now — Trail Maps is a genuine feature unlock for any gravel or MTB rider, and the Target Power fix is a quiet but real win for structured-workout users.Oura Ring 5: world's smallest smart ring launches at $399 — excellent for sleep and recovery, weak for cycling sports tracking — Early multi-source impressions are broadly consistent on the hardware quality but uniform on the sports-tracking limitations — monitor for further software improvements before treating it as an athlete-grade device; if recovery tracking is your primary need and you dislike wrist wearables, it warrants a closer look.Daily cycling intelligence from SEMIPRO CYCLING, produced with AI-assisted research, scripting, and synthetic voice.

It's the week of the Tour de France Grand Départ, and with it have come a few big bike launches. Escape's senior tech editors, Dave Rome and Ronan Mc Laughlin, jump on to discuss whether Specialized's new Tarmac hits the mark. There's also a new bike from Orbea. Plus Dave asks Ronan to confirm just how progressive his fit is, and as it turns out, the answer is not very. Ronan then jumps on a call with Daan Teugels from Belgian Cycling Factory to discuss how Eddy Merckx's reduced-frame-size options can still meet racers' needs. As always, members of Escape Collective don't just support independent journalism; they get access to everything we have to offer. For Geek Warning, that means access to the weekly Ask a Wrench segment, where pro mechanics answer our member's tech questions. And apologies for the audio this week, as Dave accidentally landed on his backup microphone. Time stamps:    00:01:39 - Specialized's new SL9 is a little too familiar  00:19:50 - Kinky steerer tubes aren't as naughty as they sound  00:23:45 - Orbea's new Orca Aero  00:32:00 - How progressive is Ronan's position?  00:40:00 - An aero-optimised run at the Tour Divide 00:45:20 - Giant's new Revolt Advanced SL (and the Liv Devote Advanced SL) 00:48:50 - Campagnolo and Zipp's new price point wheel options  00:53:45 - Chatting reduced frame size options with Eddy Merckx  01:13:15 - Back to Ronan and Dave   01:15:00 - Ask a Wrench (members only)  01:17:00 - Bearing maintenance after a big event  1:26:30 - Can an event like Unbound ruin a new chain?   1:32:00 - MTB disc brake caliper alignment woes  1:42:30 - A fix for leaky ProMax brakes

We tend to think of maps as objective representations of the physical world around us, but they're subject to the biases, goals, and editorial choices of the folks making them — just like any other piece of writing, film, or method of communication. Dillon Osleger's excellent new book, Trail Work, lays out how the erasure of trails from historic maps erodes our collective access to public lands; how and why those maps have evolved over the decades; the biggest challenges facing public land advocates, especially in the American West; and a whole lot of other topics that are vitally important to anyone who likes spending time outside. He joins us to discuss all of it.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please share with us the questions, topics, or stories you'd like us to cover on Bikes & Big Ideas.

Crashing is part of mountain biking but, how much do we really understand about what happens to the brain when we hit our head? On this episode of The Ride Companion, Davi and Olly are joined by HIT Recognition founder Euan Bowen and Sam Reynolds for an eye opening conversation about concussions, head impacts, brain health and the future of safety in MTB. Euan explains how HIT Recognition started as a university project inspired by concussion in rugby, before developing into a head impact monitoring platform now being used across mountain biking, rugby, motocross, ice hockey and more. Sam Reynolds also shares his personal experience with serious concussion, including the crash that left him unable to finish sentences, struggling with noise, forgetting words and wondering whether he would fully recover. He explains why having real data could have helped him make better decisions around competing and recovery. This conversation covers everything from MTB crash culture, to World Cup downhill practice loads, kids in bike parks, helmets, rotational forces, CTE, concussion symptoms, recovery, and why brain health might become as important as training load in action sports.

Welcome to Episode 148 of ShiftLess! Coming at you straight from the mobile van studio, Kevin and Chef Brad dive deep into the gear trends dominating this year's Tour Divide. From the undeniable takeover of rear racks (shoutout Tailfin) over traditional saddlebags to the absolute dominance of Vittoria Mezcals, we are breaking down what the ultra-endurance crowd is actually running.We also get into the weeds on Scott's flat-bar Scale RC—is a 20lb rigid mountain bike really a "gravel" bike?—the disruptive arrival of X-Labs and XDS in the carbon market, and why we are still waiting for that 32-inch wheel revolution to finally hit the dirt.Then, things get real as we tackle the elephant in the peloton: performance-enhancing drugs. Are massive "carbs per hour" claims and extreme ketone use just a convenient mask for a new era of undetectable PEDs? We compare modern cycling's explosive power numbers to the Lance Armstrong and Mark McGwire eras of sports.Plus, an exciting USA Trail update as the Florida segment is officially done and dusted, some pop-culture nostalgia, and Chef Brad walks us through his insane 9-course summer pop-up dinner menu.Tour Divide Gear Check: The massive shift from saddlebags to rear racks, Garmin vs. Coros Dura, and the missing 32-inch test bikes.Industry Shakeups: Scott's Scale Gravel RC blurring the MTB lines and how XDS might completely disrupt carbon bike pricing.The PED Conspiracy: A candid discussion on TRT, ketones, and whether the pro peloton is quietly slipping back into its old ways.USA Trail Update: Florida scouting is completely verified and finished.Off The Bars: Hawk attacks in the yard, 25 years of The Fast and the Furious, and Chef Brad's 95-degree friendly 9-course culinary masterclass.Tags/Keywords:Tour Divide 2024, Bikepacking Gear, Tailfin Rack, Gravel Cycling, Scott Scale Gravel RC, XDS Bikes, PEDs in Cycling, Pro Peloton Doping, USA Trail Route, Basepacking, ShiftLess PodcastIn This Episode:Shiftless Ep. 148: Tour Divide Preview, Gear Trends, 32-inch Wheels, and Doping TalkIn Shiftless episode 148, the hosts preview the Tour Divide and discuss last year's fastest time by Robin (11 days, 19 hours, 14 minutes) being ineligible due to reroutes, then review Bikepacking.com's rig data: no 32-inch bikes in the field, rear racks now dominate (about 77%) led by Tailfin, flat bars slightly outnumber drop bars, Salsa remains the biggest brand (mostly Cutthroats) though with reduced share, Mezcal tires are most common, and electronic drivetrains and Coros Dura computers are more prevalent. They debate Scott's marketing around 32-inch prototypes and a rigid flat-bar “Scott Scale Gravel RC” listed as a gravel bike, and reflect on generational gaps and monoculture. 00:00 Tour Divide Preview Kickoff00:28 Record Pace Reality Check01:20 Gear Teasers And Hot Takes03:39 Reroutes And Last Year Recap04:52 Surprise Visitor Interruption06:47 Back To Divide Gear Trends09:04 Racks Droppers And Old School12:43 Brands Tires And Bike Computers19:16 No 32s And Scott Marketing23:08 Scott Scale Gravel Confusion24:33 Generational Gap And Monoculture31:08 Cycling's Missing Youth32:21 Marketing to New Riders33:53 Scott Bike Lineup Hunt34:58 Steroids and Spectacle37:49 Is That Really Gravel40:59 Doping Returns Debate51:52 Fast and Furious Detour54:15 Better Call Saul Talk58:50 Backyard Hawks and Snakes01:00:35 USA Trail and Industry News01:04:46 Will Prices Backtrack01:05:21 China Subsidy Advantage01:06:05 Carbon Rims and Rebrands01:08:07 China vs Taiwan Fact Check01:09:39 XDS Scale and Market Reality01:11:14 E-Bike Market Direction01:13:58 Tour de France and Side Tangents01:16:47 Wildlife Yard Interlude01:19:15 Pop-Up Dinner Menu Breakdown01:23:15 Rides Weather and Moto Luggage01:26:02 Tour Hype and Doping Debate01:34:45 Where Supplements Become Doping01:38:25 Lance Era Doubt and Wrap-Up

Davi and Olly are back in studio for a proper catch-up episode covering everything from Vanta Jam to Olly's dream trip to Japan, Luca Shaw's first Downhill World Cup win, the Enhanced Games controversy, Japanese snacks, sumo wrestling, live commentary nerves and the future of MTB. Davi breaks down what really happened at Vanta Jam at BikePark Wales, including Rob Warner's last-minute car trouble, Dan Paley's commentary, Sam Pilgrim blowing minds, Harry Gascoigne's style, brutal weather, hailstorms and why live event commentary is WAY harder than it looks. Olly then shares more from his bucket list trip to Japan, riding e-bikes in search of perfect loam, travelling through Tokyo with bike bags, experiencing Japanese culture, discovering sumo wrestling, eating convenience store food and preparing for the premiere of the Japan MTB film. The boys also dive into the latest UCI Downhill World Cup action, including Luca Shaw finally taking his first World Cup win and discuss whether downhill racing is better when the riders are separated by huge margins or tiny fractions of a second. Plus, the lads discuss the controversial Enhanced Games, whether performance-enhancing drugs really unlock superhuman performances, Japanese Kit Kats, mochi balls, listener questions and whether mountain biking could one day become augmented reality.

What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Ninguém foi surpreendido quando a Visma venceu três das 6 etapas na última semana do Giro d'Italia. Sem rivais, o competente time neerlandês dominou a cena e quebrou barreiras: Vingegaard é o grande campeão, com cinco vitórias de etapas. Primeira vez que um dinamarquês vence a volta italiana. Oitavo ciclista ana história a conquistar a GC nas 3 grandes voltas.Sepp Kuss, seu fiel escudeiro, completa a trinca de etapas (Giro, Tour e Vuelta). Sobrou pouco para os demais, mas Giulio Ciccone e Afonso Eulalio brigaram muito para garantir as classificações de montanha e melhor jovem, respectivamente. Nem a vitória de Jonathan Milan em Roma ofuscou a grande exibição do francês Paul Magnier - três etapas e maglia ciclamino (pontos). Quais são seus destaques do Giro?

On this episode of The Ride Companion, we're joined by Matt "Cippy" Cipes from Marin Bikes. Cippy is Marin's Category Manager for performance mountain bikes, which means he plays a huge role in shaping the brand's full suspension bikes, e-bikes, spec choices, geometry, suspension feel, pricing, development timelines and overall ride quality. Recorded at Marin Bikes HQ in California, this episode dives into the history of Marin County as one of the birthplaces of mountain biking, the origins of Marin's 'Made For Fun' ethos, how a mountain bike goes from idea to production and why developing an e-bike is far more complicated than simply adding a motor and battery. Cippy also gives an honest take on the current e-bike power arms race, why Marin isn't rushing to chase huge motor numbers, what brands should really be focusing on and how ride quality still matters more than spec-sheet bragging rights. We also get into 32" wheels, XC's comeback, the future of analogue mountain bikes, the new Marin TAM, the development of the Alpine Trail E, why Marin looks to moto for certain design ideas, and what kind of rider feedback is actually useful when creating a new bike. Enjoy this deep dive into Marin Bikes, product development, mountain bike history and the future of MTB!

Send me a Text Message!If you have been following me for a bit, you know that the last few months, I've loaded my weekend message from Calvary on Monday's. Gives me a bit of a break and sometimes, it has fit right in with the current MTB podcast series.While this weekend's message, (and thus this episode) has absolutely no mention of Haggai or Nehemiah, I do talk about temples and sacred places. It's the concluding message in our "Homecoming" series that started in Palm Sunday, and it has a bit of a twist in the story. Instead of God welcoming us home...it's a challenge for us to welcome God home!Oh and for those who weren't able to be with us...it was an amazing Sunday. We baptized 14 people, prayed for college students, and worshipped our amazing Jesus! A good, good day!
