EP 4: Stagecoach 400 with David Greif

The Bikepack Racing Podcast

In episode 4, Ezra (Andrew was busy riding his bike) talks with elite level road cyclist and Stagecoach 400 participant: David Greif. The conversation begins with how David got into cycling, his rise through the collegiate ranks at the University of Arizona, and his current life racing for Project Echelon Racing. Which is one of the best domestic road cycling teams in the US, as well as a fantastic non-profit organization which helps veterans find community and healing through exercise and competition. The conversation eventually turns to bikepacking as we discuss David's hilarious first foray into the discipline, before coming to the main focus of the show: The Stagecoach 400. Starting and finishing in Idyllwild California, the Stagecoach 400 is one of the most well-known bikepacking routes in the world. Since 2012, a grand depart of the route has taken place in late March/early April.

***I apologize for the audio quality of this episode. David was on a busy street corner at the Sea Otter Classic. It couldn't be helped, and I'm only so good at Audition.
