Todd Sadow, founder of the Whiskey Off-Road, discusses how his team intentionally designs this legendary mountain biking event for the more amateur rider, including those who are trying racing for the first time. We also dive into what attracts the world's fastest pro cyclists to the event, why so many spectators love joining in on the fun, things to do beyond the race course, and how to simply have more fun on the bike, racing or not.
