Singletracks Mountain Bike Podcast

Bikepacking 20,000 Miles from Alaska to Tierra del Fugo... Barefoot


Listen Later

We're re-sharing one of our favorite episodes from 2022, so be sure to listen in case you missed it! Check back next week for more another fresh episode.

In 2006 Goat and two friends set out to ride mountain bikes from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, and after three and a half years of travel, the trio completed the mother of all bikepacking trips. Riding the Spine is just one of many adventures Goat has experienced over the years, including living in a tree house and building and working on countless bikes.

In this episode we ask:

  • How did you upbringing influence your adventure-based lifestyle?
  • How did you get into cycling, and particularly long-distance riding?
  • What was it like living in a treehouse for 4 years during college?
  • How did the idea of Riding the Spine come about? Who was in the group?
  • What was your bike setup at the start, and how did it evolve during the ride?
  • Why did you and the crew get arrested in Arizona?
  • Which sections were your favorites to ride?
  • Have you been on any bike adventures since the trip? Do you have any planned for the future?
  • Get more stories from Riding the Spine at ridingthespine.com and keep up Goat's latest adventures at wandergoat.com. Cover photo by Melinda Thompson.
