Episode 138: A Mid-Summer Ode to MTB

from Totally Deep Backcountry Skiing Podcast

On Episode 138 of Totally Deep Podcast, Doug Stenclik and Randy Young of www.cripplecreekbc.com bring you the lowdown on the world of uphill and backcountry skiing and boarding. Gear, technique, fashion, jargon, guests, and assorted spray from folks who know how to earn it in the backcountry. The world's best backcountry skiing podcast. While the West experiences hot temps and, in many locales, high AQIs, Randy and Doug make the best of it as they ramble on about some mountain biking highlights. Randy had his eyes opened in Bend, Oregon (of course he did), while Doug begins his pre-Leadville 100 taper with some uptempo riding on the local trails. We're a week or so out from Leadville, which means Doug makes his pick for the win, and the acclimating to Leadville's thin air begins. On Episode 138 of the Totally Deep Podcast: How much summer is left? Biking on old-school hiking trails or purpose-built trails. Optimizing a bike to keep pace. Structuring a workout in Glenwood Springs. Who will win Leadville? Heart rate variability, recovering, and taking a full day off. Riding with Ray: the shotgun seat. "Have you been to Bend?" Thanks for listening and joining us for the 2026-2027 season. And remember: be safe out there. More info about TDP at Totally Deep Podcast Blog on Cripplecreekbc.com. Comments: [email protected].
