Mike Curiak is a living legend. His contributions to bikepacking and bikepack racing are many. From the first website organizing racing along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, his Grand Loop where people like Jefe Branham and Scott Morris cut their teeth and even organinzing a summit at interbike where he encouraged people from the 24h race scene to make races of their own...birthing the CTR, AZTR among others. This is all on top of many (10+, 20+? idk) idiarod attempts/finishes. And then we just scratch the surface of some if his insane packrafting adventures. Mike is not only an adventurer, but a facilitator and inpiration to countless others doing the same.
