Ep 69: Leah Gruhn: 2023 Iditarod Trail Invitational Winner

Leah Gruhn has ridden the northern Minnesota winter ultra Arrowhead 135 for more than a decade, as well as the Tuscobia 160 and the Iditarod Trail Invitational 350. And in 2017 she and her husband jumped on their bikes in Banff Canada and rode south to the U.S. Mexico border in the Tour Divide. This winter she flew back to Alaska and rolled across Knik Lake and up the Iditarod Trail for the 1000-mile journey towards Nome. 21 days later she was the first, and only female to complete the entire journey across Alaska. She was kind enough to spend some time on Bike Talk with Dave just prior to heading south to Florida for a week of warmth! I enjoyed getting to know her, and I hope you will too! So grab cup of Chain and Spoke Coffee and enjoy the show!Thanks for tuning in to todays episode -and thanks to Leah for making time before trading snow drifts for sandy beaches! Look for her on instagram and facebook, doesn’t sound like she’s done with these great adventures! And later this week, I’ve got a bonus episode for you! Leah talked about how great it feels to reach Unakaleet on the Bering Sea and the pizza joint called Peace on Earth Pizza. When I was there in 2019 I talked with Peace on Earth owner Brett Hansen - it’s pretty interesting how a little pizza joint in a small village on the Bering Sea can thrive serving all the villages in Western Alaska.

The Rattlesnake Gravel Grind, held on March 24 - 26, 2023, in Sweetwater, TX was a weekend of gravel riding, music, food, camping and fun. We were invited down for some good ol' west Texas hospitality - and this is our experience!

After the windy gravel ride, Dave grabbed his microphone and talked with the 110=mile winners Emily Newsom (and her husband James!), Justin McQuerry as well as others who rode or helped make the event happen, plus race founder David King - and we are played out by a local band: The Backroads West!

Ep. 67 BIKE TALK SHORTS! SRAM Eagle XX Debut from Austin, Texas

The drivetrain hasn't seen a really significant evolution since the advent of index shifting in the 1980's. IMHO. Well, maybe the brake/shift lever combo - but really, not since then. More gears, electronic movements but the things still basically attach and work the same as the old Nuevo Records that our dads rode, mechanically speaking. So I went to the SRAM Eagle XX premier party at Mellow Johnny's in ATX with a bit of skepticism - and curiosity. Dang. It's different! OK - two jocky wheels, and the slant parallelogram are still there - but the UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) is completely different, the adjustments are basically gone, the setup is easy - and super super strong! I talked with product developer Jason Blodgett about the evolution of bike transmission systems!

Ep. 64 Steve Cannon on the Iditarod Trail; Part 2

In 2019 Steve Cannon rolled across Knik Lake, an hour northwest of Anchorage Alaska, with more than a hundred others riding, skiing and on foot, down the Iditarod Trail. Leaving McGrath, more than 300-miles away, the 17 remaining would ride and walk deep into the unknown, pushing through fresh snow, across barren tundra, up melting rivers and across a frozen sea as they made their way the 1000-miles to Nome. Upon his return home, Cannon sat down with Dave Mable to capture his experiences on film. This is his story of crossing Alaska by bike, from the shores of Knik Lake, to the edge of the Bering Sea.

Welcome to the first episode of Bike Talk Shorts! (well, kinda... hey... it's my first short! I'll get better making the Shorts short!) - We begin with Kathi Merchant, Co-Director of the 2019 Iditarod Trail Invitational as she dives into a bit of the history of the race, the trail as well as some of the competitors (from Iowa... it was for a news piece in Des Moines). It's all pure Bering Sea gold! Secondly, we talk with Flori Reiterberger on the couch of the host home of the 350-mile checkpoint in McGrath, Alaska. It's a glimpse into what brings someone from the other side of the world to the middle of remote Alaska in the winter. It's also Bering Sea gold! Enjoy this treasure from deep inside one of the most difficult races on the planet. I also share a funny (sort of) story about Flori!

Ep. 61 Steve Cannon's Iditarod Trail Invitational; Part 1

In 2019 Steve Cannon embarked on a journey with a handful of other intrepid souls, to ride their bikes along the Iditarod Trail from near Anchorage, across the Alaska Range to Nome, a thousand miles away on the Bering Sea. Bike Talk with Dave's Dave Mable followed along to film a documentary about the journey. Once the two had returned home, Cannon and Mable sat down to record Cannon's experience, from his first fatbike ride all the way through Alaska to Nome. This is the first half of that recording - taking listeners from Cannon's first ride to the starting line of the Iditarod Trail Invitational on the frozen Knik Lake just outside of Anchorage. Tune in next week for Part 2 which will take us, with Cannon, from the starting shotgun blast through the Alaska Range all the way to the Bering Sea. Also, starting this week we'll be randomly dropping a new Bike Talk with Dave Feature: Bike Talk Shorts! Five-to-15-minute stories and interviews with incredible people doing incredible things - this week you'll meet Flori Reiterberger, a fat biker who was attempting his first Iditarod Trail race to Nome.
