  TransAmerica Trail Angel Wes Murray: Hosting Nearly 300 Cyclists in Missouri

  Oct 3, 20261h 24mS4

  Wes Murray has been hosting cyclists on the TransAmerica Trail since 2012 at his home in Houston, Missouri. Since then he's hosted over 300 bike adventurers who have stayed at 'The Shack'. His hospitality and kindness is legendary and now many riders have 'staying with Wes' as a milestone when they plan their ride across the USA. It's a pleasure to chat with Wes and hear how it is he and his late wife Judy got into hosting cyclists in the first place, and hear him share his experiences from doing so. Wes definitely feels hosting cyclists is a gift for himself as well and he enjoys broadening his view of the world by listening to the stories of touring cyclists and bikepackers he hosts. In turn, they learn more about Houston, Missouri and often get to meet locals while trying out frozen custard from the Corner Store or departing with the hospital breakfast. Never Miss an Opportunity is the phrase that Wes imparts on those who stay with him on their ride, and it's a privilege to have had the opportunity to share the other side of the hosting experience.

  Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway: Bikepacking Tips from Saorsie Pottie

  Sep 29, 202626 minS4

  Going on a bike adventure can be a huge deal and perhaps you've found that fear is holding you back from going out there and exploring. This week I'm sharing excerpts from my original interview with Saoirse Pottie, which give insight into how she pushed her fears (and those others had for her!) aside and how she did this one small step at a time. Firstly with getting used to riding alone, then wildcamping solo, to taking a journey that would last weeks before going ahead and spending months cycling through Africa. You can listen to the full episode with Saoirse here and be sure to give her a follow on instagram to check out her future adventures in her snailblazers community via @snailblazers.cc Check out Old Man Mountain's Ponderosa Panniers Support the show Buy me a coffee!

  Beating Cancer, Cycling the TransAm, Then an Ultra Win: Ash Eagles

  Sep 26, 20261h 32mS4

  This year Ash Eagles won the 1700km TransAtlantic Way which was his first ever ultracycling event. What makes this even more incredible is that it came almost 5 years after surviving a very rare form of bone cancer where doctors warned him he may never ride his bike again. The day after going through the operation, Ash promised himself that he'd cycle 100kms within a year and it's incredible to learn more about his story and see exactly what he has achieved on the bike since. This includes cycling 4,300miles across the USA on the TransAmerica Trail, then cycling LEJOG a route he'd dreamt of doing for 20 years, albeit Ash thought he'd be hiking it! LEJOG was the tester to see if an ultra like the TransAtlantic Way in Ireland could be possible. The results certainly speak for themselves, with Ash ending up first place finisher for the 1700km category at this years race. To keep up with Ash's future adventures check him out on instagram - @AshEagles You can also listen to his partner Becky's experience on teh TransAmerica Trail here .

  From Bikepacking to Racing Ultras With Poli Berber

  Sep 19, 20261h 40mS4

  Poli Berber started out being fearful of riding her bike in traffic. Then she went on a 10 month tour from Paris to Yereven which ended up being life changing. She returned back to Mexico City and through bikepacking rediscovered her own city. Since then she's taken to mapping out off-road routes around Mexico as well as lining up for ultra racing events, such as Tour de Frankie and the Japanese Odyssey. We talk about how she managed to overcome her fears and what it's like to look at a map and transform it into a bikepacking route others will enjoy. Poli also shares her experiences of having to problem solve a broken rear derailleur at 5000m of elevation in an ultra race in Peru! Be sure to check out Poli's video from her Tour de Frankie race and give her a follow via her instagram to keep track of her future adventures. @Berber.Poli Check out Old Man Mountain's Ponderosa Panniers Support the show Buy me a coffee!
