Mike Dion and the rest of the “Ride The Divide” crew are turning their sites on the Trans Am Bike Race! This film is called Inspired To Ride! From the Inspired To Ride Facebook page:

We are stoked to officially announce our new film, Inspired to Ride! This project takes us back to our Ride The Divide roots. We’ll be following the adventures surrounding the Trans Am Bike Race, an unsupported #bikepacking style event covering the Trans America Route made famous by the Adventure Cycling Association. Make sure you sign up for updates giving you an insiders behind-the-scenes look as we film this amazing adventure http://www.inspiredtoride.it/ Looking forward to bringing you all onboard for this one!

Look for our upcoming interview with Mike and head to the film’s webpage to sign up for updates!

This year I’m putting together some give-aways for the racers.  In the past, I’ve often worked with sponsors to put together drawings for the listeners to follow the audio tracking on MTBCast. This year I would like to incentivize the racers.

What I have in mind is providing 3 gift packs to the racers via a drawing. This includes racers from the Huracan 300, AZT, Tour Divide, the new TranAmerica Race,  the Colorado Trail Race, Trans North Georgia, and the Allegheny Mountains Loop 400. The more they call in with updates the more opportunity to get one of the gift packs. It’s important, however, that I reachout to supporters that have the things these riders want.

ProGold is in! Additionally, I have agreements with Wolf Tooth Components and Revelate Designs as well with others to follow. Hopefully we put together things the racers can use and give them a little extra incentive to call in this year!
