Welcome back to OffRoad InRoads and to the episode following The RAD in Trinidad, Colorado. This was the 6th and penultimate stop on the LTGP tour and a new-to-the-series event.
Maxxis Factory Racing was split this weekend with Haley competing in the MTB Marathon World Cup in Snowshoe, West Virgina and myself in Southern Colorado on the gravel bike. I did this trip with Kerry Werner who races for Bike Flights and Kona. We both share many sponsors, including Bike Flights and Maxxis and he's a cool guy, so we did the trip together. We recorded a conversation afterwards.
Kerry is coming at this off-road racing scene via XC and endurance MTB along with CX. The biggest rides of his career have been in cyclocross and I think its fair to say he has the eastern-US MTB stage racing scene pretty locked down. Kerry is also a YT guy, check out his VLOG The Rad LifeTime Grand Prix | Race 6 | Vlog following this round of the LTGP.
Thanks to Maxxis Tires for supporting this podcast and bringing you inside the action with athletes at the biggest off-road races in North America.
Enjoy the show.
