Thanks a Million

Your podcast has provided me with the inspiration to not only get out on my bike but to bring the “ride your ride” mentality along with me. Digital creators like yourself and Russ Roca from Path Less Pedal are a welcome breath of fresh air in the world of lycra and FKTs.

Greg L’Etoile-Lopes

Five stars for your creative content during the 2 years of pandemic which I think will stand alone as something really special. Being an armchair traveller by bike along your American trails has been something special and definitely helped to keep me afloat during these unique times, so a huge thank you.

I first heard of the show by word of mouth from someone at the Half Moon State Beach, here in California, a few years ago. The podcast gives me something to look forward to every Thursday: I especially like play-by-play or the tour journals. Here’s to another 1M downloads!

Cyrus Farrivar

I’m not sure when I first discovered your podcast but I have listened religiously since then. I even went back and listened to the previous shows until I was relegated to only once a week content.

I have toured over 30,000 miles so far and I am currently on a break in Cambodia until spring of next year. I spend a lot of time cycling through the temples and the countryside to keep in cycling shape.I look forward to listening more over the next tens of thousand of miles I get to ride in the future.

Scott Sharick

I am a long time listener from Australia. Your podcast has provided me with hours of entertainment over the years and I congratulate you on reaching 1 million downloads.

Your podcast has opened my eyes to touring possibilities in the US, in particular the Pacific Coast and C and O.

Martin Gibson

Congratulations on the 1 million milestone! During a 2018 tour I went back and listened to the podcast from start to the (then) end. I also found the sprocket episode where you sang the sound bite that infamously became their calendar sounder, I will be kind and never reveal it.

Byron Paterson

I do not know how I discovered Pedalshift, but I am very glad that I did. It makes me look forward to Thursdays. I just enjoy traveling with you… and also planning with you and dealing with the various issues that we have to deal with – both on the road and back at home.

Terry Fitzgerald

I also got a kick out of seeing your sticker on the 44 marker in Rockwood, PA during my ride.

Tour Reveal

A little repeat, a lot of new: The Empire State Trail: Buffalo to NYC
530 miles
Fully loaded tour
Mix of paid, free and stealth camping plus a roof or two
Full preview episode on Pedalshift 297 on 9/22
Tour Journals begin with episode 298 on 9/29 and will run (assuming all goes to plan) all the way to the Holiday Spectacular at the end of the year
So excited to tackle this tour and share with everyone. It’s the biggest one in over 3 years, so it’s a long time coming.
