...and we are back! It's been a busy few weeks in the bikepack racing world, and we've got some catching up to do! We'll start where we left off...with the 2022 Tour Divide. Our guest this week is Andy Leveto. In 2018, Andy completed a northbound attempt of the Tour Divide in 23 days 2 hours and 9 minutes. In 2022 Andy was back for more! This time heading southbound with the grand depart. Ezra met Andy early in the race, and they proceeded to race each other to pit toilets for the first ~1500 miles. Ezra ultimately dropped out in Colorado with a tooth infection, whereas Andy went on to finish a whole week faster than his 2018 attempt in 15 days 20 hours and 25 minutes, finishing in 5th place. In this episode, Ezra and Andy deep-dive into Andy's Tour Divide experience as they discuss training programs, snow covered passes in Montana, headwinds in the Basin, sleep strategies, and much much more!
