Welcome to the very first episode of OffRoad InRoads! We are excited to get this going and share some great conversations following the Sea Otter Classic Fuego 80 MTB race.
First we hear from Kaysee Armstrong of Liv Factory Team, learning about her approach to the racing, "going where the party goes" and racing tips from this Unbound 200 veteran. Next up, the one and only Cory Wallace, Canadian Endurance MTB legend and bike explorer. We learn about his path into the sport, his most recent adventures in South Africa, Zanzibar and Tanzania and his last-minute call up to the LTGP. Next, Evelyne Dong, who is going all-in on racing this season, has "dabbled" in gravel (fairly low-key assessment - she has won Crusher in the Tushar), finished 5th at the opening round of the LT series and shares the love of Peanut Butter Puffins with one Haley Smith. Finally, the winner of the men's race at the Fuego 80, Keegan Swenson, shares his sound logic behind racing durations, his thoughts on the MTBers and Unbound and some tips on how to manage a big ol' bottle of beer on the podium.
We hope you enjoy these conversations and we are looking forward to sharing the journey of the LifeTime Grandprix throughout the season.
