152. Mike Gurnham - Thief Bikepacking Bags & The Japanese Odyssey</a#x3E;

from My Back 40 · host Steve O'Shaughnessy

Apologies for taking so long to get this one out to you!It's been around around 4 years since Mike and I first chatted on the Bikepack Canada Podcast and here we are again, connecting to talk about the Japanese Odyssey.It's always good to connect with Mike who has been fabricating Bikepacking bags for several years now. We chat about the challenges of the 2700km bikepacking route across Japan, a punchy race with 50,000m of ascent and a 12 day cutoff where you can pick your own route, somewhat akin to randonneuring. We also talk about creativity and meaning he gets from seeing the gear he makes out in the world. Mike is a great conversationalist and I hope you enjoy this podcast.Save 15% at Redshift Sports when you use the code MB40Save 50% off your first month of coaching at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Visit Rollingdale CycleThanks to Ottalaus Inc. for their support.Thanks to Spandex Panda for their support.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for supporting me!
