He is the co-founder of Embark Good Maple Energy and we’re sitting here near the start of the Colorado Trail Race which we will both be racing/surviving this year as part of the grand depart.

Today’s guests both just completed the 2024 Bones to Blue bikepacking race that started in Truckee California and made a big lap around Lake Tahoe. The course is 250 miles with 31,000 feet of elevation gain and it’s in a historic and beautiful part of the Sierra Nevadas. They’re both fast bikepackers and finished 1st place in their respective classes.

Today’s guests are by far the most hardcore couple I know. They have extensive ultra endurance resumes and you may know them by their slightly intimidating nicknames, El Freako and Turbo. Jeff Hemperley & Holly Hovious are both leaving their mark on the ultra endurance running and bikepacking community.
