We are super excited to bring you an episode from the 18th annual Whiskey Off-Road. The Whiskey Off-Road is an iconic MTB event by Epic Rides in Prescott (pronounced PRES-KITT), AZ. It is a three day affair with kids races, 15, 30 and 50 Proof (those are the race distances in miles) amateur races, the pro-only downtown fat-tire crit and the Pro Backcountry race. Not to mention a live concert! This is one of the best MTB race weekends of the year.
Thanks to Maxxis Tires for not only supporting this podcast, but also being one of the sponsors of this event!
In this episode, we catch up with Bradyn Lange and hear his stories from the days at the Whiskey. He smashed it in the fat-tire crit, finishing second behind Keegan, and he has some stories to tell from a tough day in the backcountry. We also chat off-road racing, this van/tent life, the LTGP and his resurgence on the XCO scene.
Next, Haley and I do a little back and forth on our experiences of the weekend. We both landed on the podium, Haley in the fat-tire crit and myself in the backcountry. We dive into our equipment setups and of course the different Maxxis Tires we ran over the weekend.
Finally, we are lucky to have Evelyn Dong join us to share some wisdom from her past 9 years of competing in this race. Evelyn has finished on the podium here several times before and is always a contender. The big climbs and copious amounts of singletrack suit her riding style. We also get a chance to chat about tires, her decision not to put her name in for the LTGP in 2023, the SingleTrack Series and all the sweet off-road events coming up in her schedule.
Get ready, let's go to that finish line. We hope you enjoy the show!
