Greg Taylor Winning Ultra Bikepacking races at 54 and all things Jumbo Wild

This is a crossover episode originally recorded for the FKT Challenges Podcast (all about bikepack racing, ultra-racing, and people creating their own loops to post the fastest time). The host shares it on the Long Game Project Podcast because the guest, Greg Taylor, embodies everything the Long Game Project is about.

Key details from the intro:

• Greg Taylor is 54 years old, from Coldstream, British Columbia
• He got into bikepack racing relatively late (around 2019-2020)
• His first big race was the Buckshot, where he placed third against a solid field
• He won the Grand Depart of the Jumbo Wild (a 700km bikepacking race through high passes and mountain riding in Nelson, BC, on July 25th)
• His official finishing time was 2 days, 1 hour, 52 minutes
• The conversation covers all aspects of the Jumbo Wild race, backcountry experiences, and Greg's perspective as a 54-year-old who is still getting stronger and pushing boundaries

The episode also includes sponsor mentions at the end: Shimano, Landyachtz Bikes, Apidura, Reform saddles, GripGrab clothing, and Sea 2 Sky Nutrition.
