Show Notes

Welcome back to another episode of OffRoad InRoads. Today's episode is a little different as we shift from our typical guests, to bring on photographer/filmmaker and budding recreational gravel racer Nicole McFadden.

Nicole filmed and produced the recently released Fast and Slow Presented by Stan's. Here's the brief, go have a watch. 

Travel alongside pro off-road bike racers, Haley Smith and Andrew L’Esperance, to Canada’s rugged north as they chase twin titles for men and women’s National XC Marathon MTB Championships and get to the heart of what makes the Yukon a special place to ride.

We off course wanted to record this episode to share the film, but also to get to know Nicole. Nicole is new to cycling and works in film for her full-time job with Parks Canada. She has an interesting set of intersecting skills and interests that led her to this project and we dive into them on the show. We get to recall our experiencing making this film together, along with Drew and Haley, on our trip to Whitehorse, Yukon.

Thanks to everyone that helped make this film happen, particularly Stan's No Tubes and Maxxis Factory Racing

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.
