And to achieve it as a female ultra cyclist, now that's inspiring!

On today's episodes, we'll be chatting with the fiercest, yet friendliest, cyclists I've ever known about riding an ultra amount of double centuries and also the HooDoo 500, Silver State 508, 24-hr World Time Trial Championships, and the Race Across America.
