Ep. 613: Crossing the Darien Gap on a Motorcycle - Revisited - JD Smith

-
The Pan-American Highway is an 18,000-mile continuous network of roads from the southern tip of South America to the northern tip of Alaska, with the sole exception being the Darien Gap, a 60-mile separation in the road through a nearly impenetrable jungle on the Panama/Colombian border. Most folks opt to go around the gap by boat or plane. Today’s guest, JD Smith, decided to go through the 99-mile long jungle by motorcycle instead. Needless to say, this is not your ordinary two-wheeled adventure.

Ep. 478: Connecting Veterans with the Outdoors and Each Other - Todd Crevier

-
Image
When Todd got back from deployment, he had a mound of issues to work through. Divorce, drug addiction, and chronic pain all led to him really struggling with the transition to civilian life. Not to mention, not having many folks around him that understood what war was like. A family vacation to Yellowstone National Park changed everything. Todd felt the wilderness had given him the confidence to act on his dream of connecting veterans and their families with each other by connecting them with the outdoors. Thus, New England Adventure was born. www.NewEnglandAdventures.org, www.facebook.com/NewEnglandAdventures Instagram: @new_england_adventures01 Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

Ep. 732: Riding a Motorcycle to Races All Over the World - Revisited - Lyndon Poskitt

-
Powered by RedCircle Originally aired  October 06, 2016 Lyndon Poskitt is an accomplished motorcycle racer and mechanical engineer from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. He had an accident in 2013 that landed him in the hospital just long enough to contemplate how he was spending his time in life. This started Lyndon on his 2 1/2 year journey called Races to Places where he rides his modified KTM 690 Rally around the world entering it into local rally races. I caught up with Lyndon in El Paso, TX as he prepares to continue on the next leg of R2P down into South America to compete in the 2017 Dakar Rally in January.

Ep. 719: Expand Your Possible - Steve Cannon

-
Powered by RedCircle Steve’s story is one that’ll get you pumped to start planning your next adventure and eliminate all excuses as to why you can’t or shouldn’t. Steve Cannon runs, fat bikes, kayaks, and skis but he wouldn’t call himself a runner, biker, kayaker, or skier, however. He would most likely refer to himself as an adventurer.  Here’s why: Steve has run nearly 100 marathons. Competed in the world’s longest kayak race.   Completed the Tuscobia Winter 150 twice on his fat bike.  Finished the Arrowhead 135 three times, and most recently did so unsupported.  In 2004, he rode his bike to the starting line of the Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon in South Dakota—beginning in Iowa—before running the marathon and continuing on another 1900 miles and 38 days.  Completed over twenty RAGBRAIs. Completed eight Gravel World Championships in Nebraska. Completed four Ride-the-Rockies, Completed the Dirty Kanza 200 five times, earning a coveted “1000 ...
