Since starting this podcast more than two years ago, I’ve wanted to talk to a team that had completed the Cape Epic together - Well, a couple months ago I saw that good friend of the podcast Hannah Shell was headed to South Africa with a friend of hers Starla Teddergreen - so I immediately shot her a note asking if the two of them would come on when they got home from the other side of the world and she enthusiastically agreed! Fast forward to April and the three of us found a time to hop on a call together to talk about their experience in the 8-stage mountain bike race. Which is awesome - but even more awesome was getting to know Starla - which leads me to the very buried lead - Starla, who’s raced professionally for nearly two decades - was recently diagnosed with MS - yet overcame the challenges of what can be a debilitating disease - to race in one of the hardest events on earth - she’s quite an amazing role model for women - really all of us - who face difficult challenges and roll on in spite of them - and finding creative ways to overcome the extra challenges they may present - Really - it was a treat to talk Cape Epic with Hannah and Starla - but I also really hope you enjoy getting to know Starla and all that she’s doing to encourage women around the world to get active and stay active!
I really appreciate both Hannah and Starla for making the time to come on this week - I hope you enjoyed their stories and friendship! I’d encourage all of you to follow them on socials - as well as Starla’s organization Distance to Empty! I’ll put links in the show notes! And I did look to see when I had Hannah on - it was October 2021, episode 41, when we talked about the state of gravel racing and the first ever UCI Gravel World Championships - plus she and her husband Jake were on last summer to talk about the Gravel Camp they led in Lincoln Nebraska prior to the Garmin Gravel Worlds - that was episode 66 - You should definitely download and enjoy them both!

Josh Sprague is as much an addict to endurance sports as the rest of us, and you know as well as anyone when a piece of equipment just isn't quite right. With weekends filled with adventure races, ultra marathons and long mountain bike rides, Josh just couldn't find the right hydration pack, so he built one. He liked it so much, he and his wife made the decision to dive in and founded Orange Mud and started producing what they believe to be the best, most comfortable hydrations packs on the market! Twelve years later they continue to create and produce a variety of hydration packs as well as a growing line of products for endurance athletes.

As a full-time working couple with kids, a house and everything that comes with that, it's a challenge to pick and choose what events to attend throughout the year - but this one comes easy. It's not just a gravel race, it's a weekend long festival of camping, food, music, beers, bike rides and great West Texas hospitality! (and a few snakes) This was our second year (Dee and Dave's) at the Rattlesnake Gravel Grind and of course, Mr. Microphone came with us. After the race we talked with race winners Joe Laverick and Lauren Stephens, second place Chris Mehlman as well as last year's champion Justin McQuerry and first timer Inno Zavyalov. Dee got in the action with Mr. Microphone and talked with second year racer, 13-year-old Bennett Rogers and Ryan Mable who finished his first over-100K gravel race! And we couldn't leave without sharing some of the rich music played throughout the weekend!
Be sure and dive into the weekend of fun by heading to www.rattlesnakegravelgrind.bike and follow the ramblings from inside the cycling world by a guy inside the cycling world: Joe Laverick https://www.joelaverick.com/

Sherry Ott's journey - riding her bicycle from state capitol to state capitol, began with her father, Lee, in 1984. In nearly 30 years he connected 23 capitols on foot. Fast forward another almost 10 years and a pandemic later, Sherry would pick up the project, but this time on bicycle. As a travel blogger, adventure and travel isn't new to Sherry - however an adventurous project like this, inside the United States, is. Sherry has been traveling the world, writing, photographing and vlogging since dropping out of the corporate nine to five almost twenty years ago - but her travels have taken her abroad - and the pandemic, the bicycle and her father's project are causing her to explore the lower 48 in a way she never imagined. Tune in to hear the story of the 40-year-long Capitol to Capitol project! And dig in deeper on Sherry's website and blog at https://www.ottsworld.com/ or follow her on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/ottsworld or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@Ottsworld.

Tuesday Vander Weide not only enjoys racing her bikes, whether on gravel, cyclocross, singletrack or on the road, she's also worked for years at her local bike shop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and recently landed at job at one of the largest cycling companies in the world, the U.S. based SRAM! Being International Women's Month, I thought it was the perfect time to hear her story, not just how she came into the sport, but how it's been as a woman working in a predominantly man's world. We had a great conversation and she's got some awesome ideas on how to welcome, not just women, but all new cyclists into the sport! Be sure to follow her journey on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tuesday.liketheday/ and say Hello to her if you need Rock Shock service!

You ever question your own choice of tires? Me too. Especially on gravel. How wide? How much tread? How much pressure? Tubeless? So many choices, so little time. So at the OG of winter gravel races, CIRREM (a 16-year-old 64-mile hilly gravel race in the south central Iowa town of Cumming the final Saturday in February) Mr. Microphone came out after the race and we talked to people about their tires and how they chose them, and a bit about the race as well. In fact, we start with the two founders Kent Carlson and Jed Gammel, and talked about the origin of this long-time gravel classic. For information on this race head to www.cirrem.com.

Jon Harp discovered competitive cycling as a teen in Chicagoland and made his way to the front of the echelon even securing a spot on a professional team in Europe. For reasons we'll let him tell, he hung up his bike and came back to the States. Eventually, however, he eventually discovered the joys of cycling on remote gravel roads, and loved it so much he was inspired to start a gravel and dirt focused team: The Mazda/Orange Seal Off Road Cycling Team. Together we dive into his history in the sport and the development of the now international team of unique and talented riders. Follow the team on facebook and instagram https://www.instagram.com/mazdaorangeseal/

Kate Coward's name is synonymous with winter ultras, especially on a fat bike. She's finished and won the Arrowhead 135 on bike, but also completed what is called one of the 50 hardest races on earth on both skis and foot. She's also won in her first go of the Iditarod Trail Invitational ITI350 as well as the Tuscobia 160 and Actif Epica. She recently finished fourth overall and first among the women in the warm 2024 Arrowhead 135, notable because Bike Talk with Dave regular and Mentor to Dave in his own Arrowhead attempt next year, Steve McGuire had to withdraw at mile 27. The day after the event concluded this year, both Kate and Steve hopped on a call to download this years especially challenging event. The lessons offered between the two of them are priceless to anyone who has any type of challenge ahead of them - on or off the bike!

Carina Hamel and her husband Robby Ringer sought to create a reusable stainless steel water bottle built specifically to fit bike water bottle cages and give cyclists the flow they want. They worked with a NASA engineer and spent more than a year on design and the result was Bivo - a high performance water bottle made for bikes! After cutting back on plastic myself for a variety of reasons, I reached out to see what this bottle was like and invite Carina on to talk about the who, what and why of this new product. For more information on Bivo follow them on instagram or go directly to the website at www.drinkbivo.com. Bivo water bottles can also be found at places like REI, Erics, Mikes and hundreds of other retailers.

Ian Boswell, aka Boz, spent several years racing at the highest level in the UCI World Tour with the likes of Bradly Wiggins, Chris Froome and Garaint Thomas on Team Sky. After nearly a decade in Europe, he made the decision to retire from road racing, move to rural Vermont and settle in with his young family. He kept a foot in the door of cycling and started a podcast: Breakfast with Boz as well as working at Wahoo Fitness, representing the company at gravel race expos around the U.S. and at one point, decided to bring his bike and line up in the event - and his legs did not fail him. In 2021 he and Laurens Ten Dam raced into Emporia Kansas at Unbound and Boz found himself standing on the top step of the podium. He now enjoys a balanced life racing in the events he chooses, representing Wahoo, publishing his podcast and enjoying time with his family in Vermont. One of the races he enjoys, and helped grow, is Gravel Locos. Fabian Sarralta, Director of that race, was a guest on Bike Talk with Dave (Episode 57) so I was curious what Boz's connection was with the Hico, Texas race. In this episode we talk about Ian's years at Team Sky and Katusha, his retirement from road racing and transition into the U.S. gravel scene. Follow Ian on Instagram and Facebook and tune into his weekly podcast: Breakfast with Boz.

Jay Kennedy swung his years of experience in the hospitality industry into a business that combined that with his passion for cycling - the Thirsty Pigs Mobile Event Company. With Thirsty Pigs, he does everything from planning and leading multi-day cycling trips (such as the Marathon and Key West rides in Florida this February!) as well offering complete event planning services for corporate events, reunions, social gatherings, bicycling rides, weddings, tail-gates, birthday parties and more. Thirsty Pigs works closely with a Des Moines area bar, patio and music venue situated on the Des Moines River - Captain Roy's, which is owned and operated by a long-time cycling friend and cycling community supporter (and incredible musician) Wade Thompson. The three of us met at Wades over the Holidays and talked about Thirsty Pigs, Roy's and so much more... like music! (I did manage to sneak in some music from Wade's band; A Complete Disaster w/ Mike Vallely (yes, the skateboarder!), Eli Clark, Paul Thompson and Wade Thompson). Connect with Jay and book a trip or event with Thirsty Pigs at www.thirstypigs.com and give them a follow on instagram and facebook! And stop in Captain Roy's next time you're riding through Des Moines! www.captainroys.com

Hannah Finchamp Otto has been racing since before she was 10, first as a triathlete and now, after two Xterra World Triathlon Championships as a top professional dirt cyclist racing in the Lifetime Grand Prix, finishing ninth in 2023, which included top-5 finishes in each of the three mountain bike events, even scoring a victory at the Leadville 100 in 2022!

As part of my prep to start - and hopefully finish- the Arrowhead 135, a 135-mile winter fat bike ultra starting in International Falls, Minnesota in January, I wanted to talk to the director of the event: Ken Krueger. In this episode he talks about what it takes to prepare for and complete what has been described as one of the 50 hardest races in the world. For more information on this race and begin YOUR journey to northern Minnesota you can open the Pandora's box of winter ultra fat biking (as well as skiing and running!) at www.arrowheadultra.com. We hope to see you there in 2025!

As a cyclist I've competed in many disciplines, from road racing and criteriums to mountain bikes, gravel and cyclocross. Even a little track racing! But there's one discipline I've never done: A Winter Fat Bike Ultra. So, with the mentorship of Steve McGuire, a winter fatbike veteran (Alaska, Iceland, Wisconsin, Minnesota and more), I'm embarking on a journey to the 2025 Arrowhead 135. That is a mid-winter fat bike race through the remote northwoods forests from International Falls to Tower Minnesota along the Arrowhead trail. In this episode Steve and I introduce the project and then begin with one of the topics to help me prepare: Proper clothing. While I've raced in some of the coldest and worst conditions around, I've always had a warm house, car or hotel waiting for me at the end of my ride. The Arrowhead can take as long as 60 hours over two nights and temperatures can reach more than forty degrees below zero. Wind, snow and even rain can make conditions even more challenging. So tune in today and join Dave as he explores with Steve McGuire how to conquer what is considered one of the 50 hardest races on earth! Check out the Arrowhead 135 at https://arrowheadultra.com/. And tune in to episode no. 105 for a conversation with Arrowhead Race Director Ken Krueger.
Check out the previous episodes with Steve McGuire as he talks about his rides in Alaska and Iceland as well as the Design, Build Ride program he leads at the University of Iowa in Episodes 53 and 54!
