Another new post! No bike gear stuff this time, just some musings.

Bikepacking races are often described as Epic, but is that actually how they feel?

A complete overview of my adventure bike build for ultra-endurance bikepack racing, a Boltcutter Peacemaker Gravel+ with a HiFi wheelset. This bike was built with the 2021 Silk Road Mountain Race in mind.

A new episode is live!

"In this episode I chat with my good friend Abdul about his first successful Everesting attempt! In addition to a long day of climbing 29,029ft on his bike, Abdul also used this Everesting as a means to raise over $3000 for The Northwest Hub, a not-for-profit full service bicycle shop, bike reclamation program and training center. Tune in to hear about Abdul's experience, and tips he has for anybody else interested in attempting their own Everesting.

Hey endurance cyclists! Here's a list of some great videos to watch as we're all social distancing. Another favorite of mine is Journey to the Other Side: The Indian Pacific Wheelrace Documentary by Abdullah Zeinab (find it on YouTube under the Glucose Network channel).

2020 has begun with mixed emotions: we saw a cracker of a race back in February but since then, we've been cast into a world of the unknown. To help you along, we've put together a list of our favourite films, in no particular order of course.

Hey all! I decided to get a page going for the Experience by Bike Podcast as a way to share things a bit easier, and hopefully establish more of a community aspect. For those of you thay don't know me, here's a super quick intro:

My name is Seth DuBois and I caught the ultra-cycling and bikepacking bug in 2018, where I competed in my first self-supported event (The Steens Mazama 1000). I did a ton of research to prepare for the event and I was incredibly grateful for all the shared knowledge, and openness that was provided by the bikepacking community. As I dove deeper in to the sport I decided to start a podcast as a means to share the knowledge I've gained (and continue to), while also allowing providing a platform for other athletes and adventurers share their knowledge and experiences. I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to resch out with any suggestions on guests or episodes!

This photo of me was taken by my partner Nyah this past year (2019) the morning after I finished the Smoke n' Fire 400. I was without a doubt in a bit of a post race daze the entire day. I highly recommend the race if you like hills 😆.
