Cynthia Carson | Crashes, Comebacks & the Story Behind Her Film

from The Stable Cyclist · host John Peter

After two serious crashes, Cynthia Carson wasn’t sure she’d ever race the same again. In this episode, we dive into the reality of ultra endurance racing — the physical toll, the mental battles, and what it takes to come back when everything goes wrong. From Unbound XL to the Traka to the Transcontinental, this is more than racing… it’s about resilience. 🎬 Watch Cynthia’s film: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20fPWRPT0Aw&t=2425s Thumbnail photo credit: Sebastian Samek https://silca.cc/discount/thestablecyclistpod  or use the code is "StableSilca15" If you’d like to ask JP a question for an upcoming Ask JP Anything episode, send him a DM on instagram @thestablecyclist or send an email to [email protected] The companies supporting JP and this channel: Maplelag Resort - https://www.maplelag.com/ Wark's Cycling Services - https://www.warkscyclingservices.com/ Ignition Coach Co. - https://www.ignitioncoachco.com/  Use code StableCyclist100 Gulo Composites - https://gulocomposites.com/ Flow Formulas - https://flowformulas.com/discount/JOHNPETER15 Wahoo Fitness - https://amzn.to/48RUSqe Owl City Cycles - https://www.owlcitycycles.com The Black Bibs - https://amzn.to/3XRlMtm Dawn to Dusk - https://amzn.to/48zKi8p Some of the above are affiliate links, but all are personally vetted and recommended   Mental Health Advocacy - Go4Graham - https://www.go4graham.org/ Resources: 988 Lifeline: https://988lifeline.org/ International Bipolar Foundation: https://ibpf.org/ National Association for Mental Illness: https://www.nami.org/
