Ever since I learned that the Southern Tier route passed through a small town in Texas only 18 miles from my house I've had my eyes open for an opportunity to host a tourer at my home. That opportunity came about a month ago when I noticed someone on Instagram was on the route and headed my way. That someone is Chris Stevenson. I picked him up in Navasota, TX, we ate bbq, told stories, fixed his bike, recorded a podcast, and sent him on his way with the best of intentions.

You can follow Chris on instagram @chriss1974

A day after Indiana Schulz (1st place) and Tom Hughes (3rd place) finished the GranGravel 500 I got to sit down with them and talk about the race, their equipment, and endurance bike racing. Both of these guys are incredible athletes and humans and we had a great conversation chalk full of bikepacking goodness.

Indiana Shulz doesn't do social media
