Since I started My Back 40 a couple of years ago, I knew it was going to evolve into something. I wasn’t sure what that was going to be, but I’ve been thinking more and more about that lately.

Based on some feedback that I have received from listeners, I’m thinking that, from time to time, I am going to publish solo episodes, so I can just talk about other things that interest me. There will always be bikes, but episodes could also include books and podcasts that I have been listening to and how I have integrated what I have learned, stories from rides and races, habit hacks, opinions on gear and stuff like that. Is that cool?

You already know that I like to lean into mental health and the benefits of moving through nature, so that will always be a common thread with most if not all of the content I produce.

I certainly love a good conversation, and those won’t stop any time soon, but sometimes a guy just needs to talk, you know? Please let me know what you think in the comments.

In this episode I chat about changes and projects for 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope, cannabis, taking smile breaks, fat bikes, training, doing hard things, mental health and books.

I hope you dig it.
