The Breck Epic: a 6-day throwback mountain bike stage race held annually in Brekenridge, CO, the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountain high country. 230 miles and 40k of vertical, all of it above 9600 feet. Epic takes everything you have...and then demands more. We're gonna talk about the courses. About gear. About nutrition and training. We're also gonna gab with some of the lowkey raddest people on two wheels. Bring your curiosity. Some tire sealant. An appetite for destruction, a stunt liver, a love for HUGE landscapes and endless trails, and an appreciation for the ridiculouslness and audacity of the whole thing. Also maybe your swear jar.

    We're talkin' MEGA. This episode is BIG.

    We're joined today by three legends, each a vet of Epic MEGA 2025. In the studio we've got Nora Fierman, Chris Joice, and the one and only Jeff Kerkove. We cover a lot of ground in this one (no pun intended). We talk fuel, rest, road food, camping, rider support, moose encounters, the beauty of the Dorito, and things that go bump in the night above 10,000 feet. It's a great hang. Thanks for taking a look.

    Epic Gabs with Multi-faceted Pro Stefano Barberi

    You gotta look around for a while before you find a harder working pro than Stefano Barberi. A force on road and off, he just wrapped up a brutal ride at Unbound. We unpack that baby, talk a bit about Epic prep and gear, and just generally solve the industry's problems (by concluding that they're all good ones to have). Jump in and enjoy!

    A chat with Epic vet Adam Nicholson from San Util Design

    The first ever Breck Epic Podcast starts with MikeMac and San Util Design founder Adam Nicholson. It starts simply; "What are we gonna call this thing?" Inside we talk a lot about San Util Designs. How the Official Hydration and BMF Wallet of Breck Epic started. What it stands for. And where it's going. We also talk a bit about Adam's new Saguaro pack AND his love of hip packs (wth proper fit). I chose Adam as my first guest because I see a lot of us in him. He wants to make a great product that's fairly priced, thoughtfully made and that makes the cycling experience BETTER. We talk about design inspiration and philosophy, which is a great way to launch a recurring feature in ALL of our upcoming podcasts, a segment called, "WHO DO YOU LOVE?" Intended to call out good work, this iteration focuses on admiration for other designers and their work. The conversation concludes with a comparison of overseas manufacturing and domestic manufacturing, emphasizing the importance of quality control and rigorous standards. It then delves into the passion for craftsmanship and quality control in product design and production. It also explores the decision to relocate the business to a new location. Takeaways Quality of materials and domestic sourcing: important considerations in product design and manufacturing. Good partners? Just as important.Overseas manufacturing can produce high-quality products when rigorous standards and quality control are in place.
