Episode 48. Well, there's nothing quite like kicking off Season 2 and Sarah solo hosting, by chatting to Patrick Farnsworth, creator of Bikes or Death podcast - a conversational bikepacking, adventure cycling podcast that hit over a MILLION downloads in 2023!
Patrick was super generous with his time, dialling in from Texas, USA, with wide ranging conversation covering everything from podcasting to parenting; mental health to miles on the bike, to entrepreneurial spirit and bikepacking events. We also chatted about:
Life living and adventuring in Texas, where less than 3% of land is public lands
Creating a whole new series of bikepacking style events, including the Texas Showdown series. Check this out - for the lowdown, slowdown, showdown and of course, the hoedown!
Experiencing life as a single parent of two young daughters in Texas
Living with ADHD and social anxiety and the ways this manifests itself in life
Inclusivity in events and community - including encouraging non-male participation and BIPOC focussed events
Creating really meaningful life shifts, moving from a place of alcoholism to a far healthier, "total life optimisation" and feeling great for it
Patrick's personal riding goals including some significant rides to start the year, including but not limited to - Mid South 100 mile gravel race; Ozark Gravel Despair 200 miles and an Individual Time Trial on the 300 mile Arizona Trail race section
