Kurt Refsnider | A Guide to Traveling the Iditarod Trail

Kurt Refsnider | A Guide to Traveling the Iditarod Trail

I this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I super excited to have had the opportunity to sit down with Kurt Refsnider, a professional ultra-endurance/backcountry mountain bike legend, record holder, route developer, advocate, cycling coach, geologist and also the co-founder and route director of Bikepacking Roots. If it's something bike related, there is a good chance Kurt has done it or is planning to do it. Some of Kurt's many cycling career highlights include but are not limited to: Winning the ITI, 8 wins and/or records on the AZT 300, 2 wins/records on the AZT 750, winning the Colorado Trail Race, winning the Tour Divide and finishing it 3 times, setting the FKT on the Kokopelli Trail 2 times, and setting the yet to be beaten FKT on the Grand Loop. With countless other adventures and races to his name, Kurt also became the first person to complete the Continental Divide Trail south bound. Kurt has recently finished writing a guidebook with all the important information you might want to know if you decide to take on the daunting Iditarod Trail. In today's episode, Kurt and I take a deep dive into touring this legendary route, going beyond just the gear that might be important to have, but also the preparation, logistics and mindset that you might need to account for. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Sima's first 100km day. Almost made it to Quebec City. We decided to call it quits at Neuville, where my cousin picked us up. Since we were going 40km outside of Quebec City on the south side of the shore, we didn't feel as if we cheated, since we would finish our cycle to the city after a couple days spent with family.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/bikepackadventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bikepackadventures Follow me at…WEBSITE: http://www.biketouradventures.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bike_tour_adventures/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BikeTourAdv ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bike-tour-adventures/id1464406852 Show SponsorsThe Bike Tour Adventures podcast is incredibly lucky to have some amazing corporate sponsors.
