    EP 34: Andrew Onermaa - 2025 Tour Divide Single Speed Champion!

    The title says it all! Andrew Onermaa is the 2025 Tour Divide Single Speed champion! Ezra sits down with Andrew for 3 plus hours to get into all the nitty gritty details of Andrew's incredible run down the Divide. Going for a ride isn't required for this one, but it certainly is encouraged!

    EP 33: The State of US Bikepack Racing 2025 Featuring Stephanie Hall

    Andrew and Ezra sit down with good friend of the show, and member of the Old Man Mountain x Silca Experimental Bikepacking Team: Stephanie Hall to discuss the current state of bikepack racing in the United States in 2025. Topics range from Stephanie's new team, making ends meet as an up-and-coming bikepack racer, the current sponsorship landscape, the first half of the 2025 US race calendar, and I'm sure a few more things I've already totally forgotten about!

    EP 32: BACK AT IT AGAIN?

    SURPRISE! After a very strange 2024, Ezra and Andrew are back to rambling about their lives, bikes, and all things bikepack racing. In this catch up episode (sometimes it feels like all we do is catch up episodes), we do just that. Catch up! It's mostly personal updates, but there is a bit of bikepack racing banter mixed in. We really are trying to make this a somewhat more consistent thing, especially with Andrew's BIG triple crown racing plans for 2025 and Ezra just trying to get his bikepack race finishing rate back to 50%. But we'll see what we can manage!

  4. EP 31: 2023 Ramblings with Ezra & Andrew

    01/12/2024

    EP 31: 2023 Ramblings with Ezra & Andrew

    The episode title really says it all! Ezra and Andrew sit down for a very informal recap of the 2023 season, while also looking forward to 2024. Highs and lows are discussed, future plans are divulged, and incredible accomplishments are recognized. We know it's a longer one...but the end does get a bit spicy as some strong remarks are made about the cycling industry relating to its lack of relationship with bikepacking and bikepack racing. We've also got a bit of a call for action: Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear discussed? People you really want us to talk to? Send us whatever you've got via instagram to @thebikepackracingpodcast - Thanks and happy listening!

  5. EP 30: Abe Kaufman

    12/19/2023

    EP 30: Abe Kaufman

    "The current best American bikepack racer." That's the title Ezra gave Abe Kaufman after he smashed the FKT at the Arkansas High Country Race this October. Add in a 4th place finish at the 2022 Tour Divide plus FKTs at Trans North Georgia and Trans Virginia, and it's safe to say Abe is certainly a dangerous man when it comes to bikepack racing. In this episode we dive into Abe's relatively recent introduction to the sport, his calculated and comprehensive approach to racing, and how he keeps a smile on his face deep into these massive efforts. If this conversation doesn't get you stoked on setting big goals for 2024...we don't know what will...enjoy!

    EP 29: Daniel Connell aka "DIRTY DAN"

    Making his second appearance on the podcast, Daniel Connell aka "Dirty Dan" is back to talk all things 2023 Tour Divide. This year was Dan's fourth consecutive Tour Divide finish! We take a deep dive into everything that went down as Dan fought through his fair share of obstacles to finish in his fastest time yet at 16 days 16 hours 4 minutes. This conversation is a must listen to for anyone considering the Divide in the future. It certainly got us stoked, and we hope it does the same for you too!

    EP 28: We're Back?

    To start...sorry! We know it's been a minute...or 8 months...but we are trying to get this thing rolling again. In this "catch-up" episode Andrew and Ezra sit down and have a meandering conversation about a whole lot of bikepacking, bikepack racing, bike racing, and general life things. It was oh so good to sit down and catch up. We hope you enjoy listening to this unedited conversation.

    EP 27: Jeff Kerkove

    Jeff Kerkove is truly a legend of bikepack racing. Jeff and his friends were racing bikes offroad in extreme and unique ways before the words "Gravel racing" and "Bikepacking" were commonplace in the cycling world. In this conversation, we dive into Jeff's start in the 12/24 hour mountain bike race scene, a 14 year battle with finishing the Colorado Trail Race, his most recent race effort in Morocco at the Atlas Mountain Race, and much more bikepacking and bikepack racing goodness.
