King of the Ride

Records are meant to be broken and our two guests today will likely be holding on their titles for a while now. John Keller just took the outright record in the cycling event up the hallowed 7.6 mile climb to the highest peak in New England. Often called "one of the hardest climbs on the planet", just six days prior, Scott Speed set the best time in a car. You might remember Scott as a guest way way back in episode 14!

This episode has lots of great coverage, but one of the best ways to understand what's going on, check out this ridiculous on board camera from Scott's race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwfNDzRcBig

With recent victory at the Colorado Trail Race, Alex McCormack generously lent us his time so we could pick his brain all about his recent entry and huge success in all kinds of ultra adventures. From Atlas Mountain to Hellenic Mountain to the lack of mountains at the Unbound XL or to the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Trail Race, Alex is on a mission. His exploits and what it takes to find success is eye opening and you'll enjoy this conversation regardless what your experience or interest in bikepacking is.

When Ryan Cochran-Siegle came home with his second Olympic medal in as many Olympic games and Ben Ogden earned two silver medals at Milan this winter, I knew I wanted to pick their brains. Better yet, Ian Boswell is friend and located nearby in Vermont, so we decided to have four pro athletes enjoy a conversation talking with each other, learning from another, learning about each others' sports, the history, the customs, the nuances.

Noah Dines is the world record holder of most human powered vertical feet of skiing in a year. At more than 3.5 million feet skied, that's 124 times up Mount Everest from sea level, that's more than a the Tour de France if it were raced for the entire year rather than just three weeks, that's probably a whole lot more than you!

Noah is a Vermonter, a skier, a biker, and a general athlete. This conversation is a long time overdue and I think you're going to enjoy it!

Keep your eyes peeled for the Gravel Rendezvous 2026 at The Ranch at Rock Creek

Roger Brown is the most frequented guest on King of the Ride podcast and HE'S BACK! With 5 episodes prior to this one, covering the thousand-plus miles he's ridden across the Flint Hills, what Roger lacks in training he makes up for with ignorance and enthusiasm. Here in 2026, however, it's not just Roger, but he's riding and podcasting with his wife Jenny who took on her first 200 miles of Unbound gravel this year! 

We sit around the back deck, catching up in the days after Unbound to hear the blow-by-blow how it all shook out. This is a great one, stay tuned!
