They take you through the highs and lows of an ambitious race schedule, sharing personal stories and the valuable lessons learned along the way. As they reflect on the passage of time and the rush to experience as many grand adventures as possible, they also touch on the realities of aging and the impact on their physical capabilities.

One of the most common questions we get from racers is about the lighting system we use.  Click this link for a detailed deep dive into the lighting system we have been using for all of our expeditions.  https://youtu.be/_OjVZI5vq20

We cover headlamps, bike lights, hand torches, charging, storage, paddle leg lighting and just about everything else you need to know.  In the video, we do a lot of screenshots so it may be good to watch this on YouTube but we also posted it is a podcast on the thisABILITY Adventures Podcast as well. You can find it on all your favorite podcast platforms but we will put the direct link to our Buzzsprout page in the comments.  As always, let us know if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can improve our lighting system.  Feel free to share your experience with other lighting systems you are happy with.
