Kurt Refsnider just became one of only a handful of people to have ever successfully traversed the Continental Divide Trail by bike.  The trail is 3,300 miles long and spans the length of the United States along the Continental Divide.  In many ways it's similar to the popular Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.  However, there is one big distinction, the CTS is primarily singletrack.  And much of it is unmaintained, overgrown, and sometimes nonexistent trails.   It's not surprising that Kurt would be included in the elite group to have completed this trail.  He's been a cyclist and athlete from a very young age.  In fact, we hear about his first century on today's episode.  He's gone on to set so many records in cycling it's easier to point you to his website for a full list.   Kurt also holds many hats in the cycling industry.  He is a profissional adventure cyclist, the co-founder and Route Developer for Bikepack Roots, and he is an endurance coach, among other things.  Today's episode touches on all of these topics and more. ⚡️️EPISODE SPONSORS⚡️️ Old Man Mountain - Use our affiliate link to get 15% off your order!
