This is the story of a man who dedicated himself to one thing and put everything he had into it.  His story is not without trials, nor is it without victories.  Without giving anything away, I'll leave it there and Let Thomas tell his story.  Some of the things we talked about were Singlespeed gravel racing, Fixed gear gravel racing, LandRun100, and Dirty Kanza, and his new woodworking business, Maker and Racer.

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.
