Ep 100: Thorn Devlin - Life on Two Wheels
10/2/2026
57:52
100 episodes calls for something special—and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than sitting down with Pennsylvania rider Thorn Devlin at Solid Performance!Trying to put Thorn into one category is nearly impossible. Six Days, Hard Enduro, GNCC, J Day, local enduro series—if it involves two wheels and dirt, there's a pretty good chance he's lined up for it.In this milestone episode, we go back to where it started: how Thorn first got into riding, 25 years in the AMA and more. We get into the miles and experiences that have taken him far beyond Pennsylvania and the perspective he's gained from experiencing the sport in so many different forms.This one is less about a single discipline or race result and more about what a lifetime on two wheels can look like when you're willing to try a little bit of everything.A huge thank you to Solid Performance for opening their doors to us during business hours and giving us the opportunity to do something a little different for Episode 100!
