In The Flow

Neve, Italian for snow, is a portable, real food fuel born from Nora Fierman's passion for endurance sport in the mountains. A lifelong skier, Nora wanted to change the game around how endurance skiers fuel. Neve is a little pouch of goodness, made from foods like beets, tart cherries, and boysenberries and is the perfect companion for any adventure. Nora and I are incredibly aligned in our philosophies around nutrition, fueling, and meaningful movement in the mountains. We dive into a wide ranging conversation covering her background in sport and struggles with fueling her own sporting adventures, the challenges of starting a food business, and rambles on sport and life and beyond.  You can learn more about Nora and Neve at http://eatneve.com and use code intheflow15 to save 15% off 6 packs of this amazing new product.  Stay up to date with what I'm up to over at http://mountainathlete.substack.com and on Instagram @jlointheflow

Reckon it's time for a little check in eh? I'm back to share some rambling thoughts on creative challenges, mental health, and my passion for podcasting in an effort to revive and refresh this show. More to come.

The Tour Divide is perhaps the most renowned offroad ultra-cycling race in the world. Spanning 2,700 miles from Canada to Mexico along the Continental Divide, it's an extremely challenging endurance event that many highly experienced adult participants take years to complete successfully.  Edyn Teitge just became the youngest ever finisher of the race at age 15 on his rookie attempt, finishing in 19 days, 13 hours in a particularly difficult year. I've known and coached Edyn for the past few years, seeing him grow as an athlete and human and it was amazing to see him have such an incredible ride as a fellow recipient of the Be Good Foundation's bikepacking scholarship this year. We sit down and talk about his experience on the Divide, the ups and downs, bike setup, and goals for the future. You can follow Edyn on Instagram @edynteitge.

Stay tuned for my upcoming documentary on my Tour Divide preparation and race experience coming this fall.

A final check-in & update from Jackson from New Mexico.

After crossing the halfway point, Jackson reflects on the Tour Divide thus far & adds some insight into the environment and people along the route. Some wind included, as he's recording while riding in some rad conditions.

Another mid-ride update from Jackson after a week of riding the Tour Divide. After some major adversity, Jackson offers a change in perspective in his mission to continue the race.

3 days and 400 miles into the 2,700 mile Tour Divide, here's an uncut report from Jackson on the race thus far & the events, crazy weather conditions, and route conditions encountered; follow along for continued updates!

The 2,700 mile offroad, self-supported bikepacking race starts on Friday, June 14th.

The pod is back. After a long winter and a lot of work and prep I'm excited to share my biggest adventure project yet: the 2,700 mile offroad and self-supported ultra cycling race known as Tour Divide. Starting in Banff, Canada and finishing at the U.S./Mexico border in just two weeks, my friend and filmmaker Rob Carter are working on a documentary to share the spirit of such a challenge.  In this conversation, Rob interviews me about my prep, the impetus for signing up, what the race entails, and the film project we are working on.
