    Pinions and Pines 2026: Three Mountain Lions and 413 Miles of Perspective

    In this episode of Stoke, Quinn Travis takes a deep dive back into the experience of Pinyons and Pines 2026, a brutal and unforgettable journey across Northern Arizona. From the highest highs to the darkest moments deep in the pain cave, this episode is a full recap of the course, the mindset, and everything it took to keep moving forward. Quinn shares stories from the trail, including a surreal encounter with three mountain lions in the middle of the night on the Black Canyon Trail, the mental battles that come with pushing past your limits, and the moments that make races like this feel bigger than bikes. This episode isn’t just about finishing a race. It’s about what happens when you strip life down to forward motion, exhaustion, fear, gratitude, and the people you meet along the way. Pinyons and Pines became more than a challenge... it became a reminder of how much we take for granted in everyday life and how hardship can completely reshape perspective. A story about endurance, suffering, connection, gratitude, and conquering one of the hardest experiences Quinn has ever faced. Pinyon and Pines 2026 Endurance Studio

    The Hardest 230 Miles I’ve Ever Ridden: Pinyon and Pines Redemption Recap

    I rode 230 miles into a 400-mile bikepacking race… and then I quit. In this solo episode, I break down my experience at Pinyon and Pines: what went wrong, what I didn’t expect, and the moment I knew I was done. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the reality of pushing limits, dealing with doubt, and learning the hard way. I also share what I’m taking from that experience into this year’s race, and what has to change if I’m going to show up differently.

    Cry Later, Ride Forward: Dane Wallace on Building What Feels True

    In this episode of Stoke Podcast, I sit down with one of my good friends and one of the most creative people I know, Dane Wallace. We talk about Dane’s journey from working a corporate job to taking a leap of faith and building Cry Later, a brand rooted in creativity and honesty, and eventually launching Park Drive Pizza, a take-out pizza operation run straight out of his house, where people order ahead and come pick it up. Dane shares the real story behind choosing the uncertain path, trusting his instincts, and creating things that truly feel aligned with who he is. We also dive into a defining moment in his life, a cycling crash where he was hit by an RV while riding his road bike and how that experience reshaped his perspective on cycling, risk, and life moving forward. This conversation isn’t about hype or highlight reels. It’s about creativity, resilience, and choosing to build a life that feels true. I’m beyond stoked to have Dane on the podcast.Stay tuned and enjoy. Cry Later: crylatersupply.com Cry Later Instagram Order Park Drive Food... like right now: click here!

  5. The AZT 800 Bike Packing Winner - Alex Schultz

    The AZT 800 Bike Packing Winner - Alex Schultz

    This episode features an incredible conversation with Alex Schultz, winner of this year’s Arizona Trail 800 finishing in an unbelievable 9 days and 10 hours! This marks Alex’s third finish in the 800, following his win in 2023 and second-place finish in 2024, and it also completes his 2025 Triple Crown Challenge. He wrapped up an unbelievable season that included finishing the Tour Divide in 16 days, 16 hours, and 27 minutes, and the Colorado Trail Race in 5 days, 2 hours, and 16 minutes. With a new route rerouted with an out and back on the Grand Canyon and a Humphreys Peak summit, and finishing in Flagstaff, this year’s AZT 800 was one for the books. Alex and I dive into how the course differed from previous years due to the North Rim burn, the massive vert, and the harsh conditions that tested every racer on the trail AKA the COLD. Despite freezing temps, long nights, and relentless climbing, Alex managed to hold strong and take the win by a huge margin. Every rider out there showed incredible grit, both mentally and physically — but Alex’s ride was truly something special. This episode was totally spur of the moment — Alex had just come by to pick up his car from my place after finishing the race, and we figured, “Why not hit record?” What followed was a raw, inspiring conversation about endurance, mindset, and what it takes to push beyond your limits. Tune in, leave a comment, and share your thoughts — this one’s packed with stoke and respect for everyone who takes on the Arizona Trail.

    Riding Through the Pines with Jake Johansen: 2025 Pinyons and Pines Recap

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jake Johansen as we recap our experience racing the 2025 Pinyons and Pines, a grueling bikepacking challenge through Northern Arizona’s rugged terrain with 327 miles of dirt and 27,000 feet of climbing. We ride together (literally and figuratively) through the first 26 hours of the race, covering the highs, lows, and what it’s like pushing through exhaustion in the middle of the night. Jake shares the full story of his epic ride, from little sleep to wild moments on the trail, and how brutal 3 a.m. can feel when the temps drop. Despite it being his first bikepacking race, Jake powered through to an incredible 4th place finish, crossing the line after roughly 49 hours in the saddle. We cover 163 miles together, and his perseverance for the rest of the race throughout was nothing short of inspiring. This one's for the endurance junkies and dream chasers, don’t miss it.
