Description
👉🏻RIDE TO ENDURE: The Baja Divide FKT for ALS
In this episode, endurance athlete Miron Golfman—fresh off his first-place finish at the Arizona Trail 300—dives into the mindset, motivation, and meaning behind ultra-distance bike racing. From completing the Baja Divide FKT to living abroad and recently racing the Atlas, Hellenic, and Silk Road Mountain Races, Miron shares what it really takes—physically and mentally—to race self-supported across continents.
Listeners will learn how Miron balances passion with purpose through his Ride to Endure project for ALS awareness, what he’s discovered about fueling, recovery, and resilience, and how the global bikepacking scene is evolving. We also dive deep into community, personal growth, and finding fulfillment through endurance and giving back.
