Ep. 1064: Silk Road Mountain Race - Alden Roth

Bikepacking: Alden Roth on Completing the Brutal Silk Road Mountain Race in Kyrgyzstan – 1,200 Miles, 100,000ft Elevation, Surviving a Crash on Day 14 to Finish as the 100th Rider Out of 101 in the World's Toughest Unsupported Bike Race.

In August of 2024, Alden raced in the Silk Road Mountain Race, a 1,200-mile, unsupported bikepacking race in Kyrgyzstan. With nearly 100,000ft of elevation gain, it's often touted as the toughest bike race in the world. A crash on Alden's 14th day of racing put him out of the general classification, but he was able to fix his bike and complete the ride, earning himself a finisher's stamp as the 100th rider to finish out of 101 finishers.

Alden Roth is a filmmaker, ultrarunner, and endurance bikepacker from West Virginia. He's the newest member of the Parks and Recreation Board in Charles Town, WV, his hometown and is also a co-owner of Rocketfuel Studios, a video production company that tells stories about food and the outdoors. Alden has completed several ultramarathons, including a sub-24-hour finish at Rim to River 100 and several multi-day bike tours and races.
