Navigating A Privateer Life

There are some races that are in a world of their own.  They create feeling that leave a taste in your mouth for the rest of your life.  Some of those races aren't big, or very prestigious but put you in a place that is unique. Some races change the direction of cycling like the Downieville Classic or the Dirty Kanza.  Some are a reason to let loose with other racers who you usually see on a tough weekend before they have to trek home.  Stagnate racing comes quickly.  Bike racer are always interested in something new and unique.  Bmx is a sport that is fighting that tooth and nail for no other reason than they see competition with new bike parks.  This has never been the case for racers.  We want more, we want different, and we want lots of people to see us.  This podcast was sparked by a cool indoor mtb race at Paris, France in 1996.  It got me wondering about how many other cool races I've been around or that have changed the way racing is.  Hope you enjoy my rant.Remember to follow us on Instagra
