Erik Schlimmer was first on the podcast in October of 2024, (Ep. 145) having raced at the national level in the 1990's, then taking thirty years off - he decided to make a comeback and pin a number on again.

Today we follow up to see how his winter of training and summer of racing went, and if it left him wanting more! In addition to that, he's a routemaker - having authored many books about trails and history in and around the Adirondack Mountains.
