The Easy Pass Duathlon

July 15, 2021 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

The inspiration for this little project came from coach Jessica Kelley way back in 2015, who that year was ticking off routes in the UltraPedestrian Wilderness Challenge.

Gearing up for a Bikepacking Epic

October 20, 2020 by David Longdon Leave a Comment
