Episode notes

I met our guest, Steve McGuire, In 2019 as he was riding the Iditarod Trail with his Friend Judd Rowler. I was intregued with his program, and wanted to include it in my film 1000 Miles to Nome. After we got home from Alaska I made the trip to Iowa City to hear about the program - so what you've got here is that conversation.

Steve is quietly one of the most interesting and well traveled bike packers I know - and that program at the university of Iowa makes me want to go back for my masters! You can read about it
