"I want to finish with a big smile on my face."
That’s Mascha Wahlig’s goal for the 2025 Atlas Mountain Race. Last year, Mascha lined up at Atlas Mountain Race, her second-ever ultra-endurance bikepacking event. She was fast, pushing herself to the limit, but she was also overwhelmed. The intensity of the race, the sheer number of riders, and the pressure she put on herself—it all built up, culminating in a moment of panic and paralysis in the middle of the desert when her cleat broke.
She eventually got it fixed (with a bit of super glue and grit), but mentally? The race left her drained. Even months later, she found herself experiencing panic on training rides in the dark, reliving the helplessness of that night in Morocco. Instead of pushing it down, she did the work. She sought help, developed strategies to manage fear and build mental strength, and slowly rebuilt her confidence. And it worked.
Since Atlas, Mascha has gone on to win both the Hellenic Mountain Race and Sneak Peeks, proving to herself that mental performance is just as crucial as physical fitness in ultra-cycling and bikepacking. Now, she’s coming back to Atlas Mountain Race 2025, but this time, with a totally different mindset.
She’s racing for herself—not for a number, not for a podium—but to ride with confidence, be present, and take in the experience.
In this episode we talk about:
- The mental battles of ultra-cycling and bikepacking—panic, fear, and self-doubt.
- How Mascha built mental resilience and confidence after last year’s Atlas Mountain Race.
- What it takes to win ultra-endurance bikepacking races like Hellenic and Sneak Peeks.
- Strategies for handling stress and mental fatigue in long-distance racing.
- The power of self-compassion, managing expectations, and racing with a freer mind.
- How to prepare mentally and physically for events like Atlas Mountain Race.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself, struggled with confidence in endurance sports, or felt overwhelmed by the sheer challenge of a long-distance race, this episode is for you.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked"The Log Driver’s Waltz isn’t a race; it’s an invitation. An opportunity for anyone curious about bikepacking to show up, ride at their own pace, and share the experience. It brings people together—whether you’re pushing yourself against the clock or taking time to enjoy the landscape and small communities along the way.” That’s how Jen Adams and Eric Betteridge describe the Log Driver’s Waltz—a stunning 800-kilometer bikepacking loop weaving through Ontario’s Ottawa Valley and into Quebec. For them, it’s all about community, shared experience, and adventure at your own pace. In this episode, Jen and Eric share how decades of adventure together—17-day canoe trips, countless rides through their home region, and racing the Tour Divide—led them to create this unique route. The Log Driver’s Waltz isn’t just about the terrain (though with 75% unpaved roads, forested trails, and rugged paths, it’s no joke). It’s about inviting riders to show up, ride how they want, and share the experience. We also dive into what it’s like to ride as a couple, how they balance different rhythms on and off the bike, and why building an inclusive bikepacking community matters. Plus, Jen and Eric explain how the Log Driver's Waltz became part of the St. Lawrence Bikepacking Triple Crown and how they’ve intentionally created stepping stones—from accessible rallies to the full 800k loop—to help more people get into bikepacking. If you’ve ever been curious about lining up for a Grand Depart, wondered how to build confidence for your first bikepacking trip, or thought about what it takes to ride (and create) a route like this, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: The story behind the Log Driver’s Waltz and its ties to Canadian culture How decades of adventure—from canoe trips to the Tour Divide—shaped Jen and Eric’s approach to route building Riding as a couple: balancing different strengths, rhythms, and goals on the bike The creation of the St. Lawrence Bikepacking Triple Crown and fostering connections across the region Why community-building, safety, and accessibility are at the heart of the Log Driver’s Waltz How the route offers something for everyone—from those chasing FKTs to riders seeking a leisurely multi-day adventure Tips for tackling the route, including bike setups, resupply points, and managing its surprisingly punchy climbs Details & Links for the Log Driver's Waltz 2025 Grand Depart: August 23rd,8 AM, Almonte Hills, Ontario, Canada Spring Rally: For those who want to experience the route in more digestible chunks Log Driver’s Waltz Official Website Log Driver’s Waltz Tips & Planning Facebook Group Follow Jen & Eric’s updates and rally details on social media @thelogdriverswaltz As always, a huge thank you to Albion for supporting Detours this year.
