This week on The Stable Cyclist Podcast, JP welcomes Alexis Cartier, the Canadian gravel racer redefining what it means to commit to a cause. A professional rider from Montreal and passionate advocate for climate action, Alexis has made headlines this year by choosing to ride his bike to every race in the LifeTime Grand Prix, rather than flying or driving. Now over 10,000 miles into this journey, he joins JP to reflect on the lessons, the challenges, and the incredible experiences from a summer spent fully powered by pedals. With the final race of the season — Big Sugar Gravel — on the horizon and a 2,000-mile ride home still ahead, Alexis opens up about how this mission has reshaped his outlook on the sport and the environment. Together, JP and Alexis explore the intersection of cycling, sustainability, and storytelling, reminding listeners that real change starts with the choices we make every day.
