Local Legends - Episode 42 with Escape LA

AN INTENSIVE MOUNTAIN BIKE EXPERIENCE

Welcome to a fun-filled, adventure-driven episode where I chat with Jason Shafer and Gregg Dunham of Escape LA. These two guys fell in love with the city and its trails, turning their passion for riding into something bigger—something stupid hard.

In this episode, we dive into their lives, the vast open spaces in LA, and the stories behind the inaugural Escape LA Grand Depart in November 2023—a grueling 298 miles and 45,000 feet of climbing.

The stories they shared were surprising and insightful, offering a deep look into the world of bikepacking and pushing past tough moments. Don't miss this episode if you're into adventure, bikepacking, or just love hearing about epic journeys on two wheels and to hear the release of the next Escape LA!!!
