Biking to Epstein's Island

from Zen and the Art of Endurance · host ZenTriathlon

Can you bike to Epstein's Island? Will you ever know everybody on "the list"? What is the sound of one hand clapping? So... now what? Join me as I ride gravel for 60 miles in the hot Texas sun, talking about what to do when you can't know, how to get better at swimming butterfly, and when "The Comparing Mind" isn't always the bad thing Zen Buddhism makes it out to be. I also get close up to a Speckled King Snake, get chased by a dog, and have to take several breaks at two gas stations and under a bridge. Enjoy!
