155. Doug Dunlop - The Silk Road Mountain Race, Mortality, and Motivation My Back 40

- Sport
Doug Dunlop @coldbike, renaissance man, is a dad, adventure cyclist, musician, and bike mechanic. He is also a sewist specializing in pogies for flat and drop bar bikes and also creates awesome frame bags, one of which packed enormous amounts of gear on my ride down to Mexico on the Divide in 2022. Check out his website to learn more.
Doug and I sat down a few weeks ago to record a chat about the SRMR, but we ended up tossing the recording out as it just didn't go the way either of us wanted.
I put a lot of time and effort into the podcast. I want the conversations to not only be entertaining for you, but also represent the guest well. I take a lot of responsibility for the way the first chat went, but as you'll hear in this, more recent conversation, Doug was not in the best mindset the first time around.
In this episode we chat about the SRMR of course, but we also talk about how the passing of his mom gave him deeper insight into the importance of putting adventure seeking near the top of the priority list. He also shares how he reframed is SRMR experience when things didn’t quite go the way he wanted.
I hope you enjoy this one.
