The Stable Cyclist

JP and Aaron Haugen | Making the MAAH DAAH HEY Film

The MAAH DAAH HEY film that released in February has just as many epic stories behind the scenes as in the film, so JP sat down with THE guy who captured most of the footage on race day and talked about their 3 incredibly epic days in the Badlands.

Adam Saban | Not Just a Bonk Bro.

Adam Saban is most famously known as the host of the Bonk Bros Podcast and the Matchbox Podcast, but he's also a coach, elite level mtb rider, an engineer, a husband, a dad and so much more. In the first real interview Adam has done outside the Bonk Bros, we get to know him and realize, he's not just a Bonk Bro.  We dive into how Adam became a cyclist, why Leadville is so special to him, how he became the Bonk Bros host, and we dive into how mental health fits within his story.

Andrew L ’Esperance | Managing Stressful Situations

Andrew L 'Esperance is a professional mountain bike and gravel racer who is entering his third season in the Lifetime Grand Prix (LTGP). Prior to the Grand Prix, he made a living as a World Cup MTB racer around the world. But he is perhaps equally famous for being the partner of Haley Smith, winner of the 2022 LTGP. Haley has been one of the most outspoken athletes in the bike world with regards to mental health. I wanted to chat with Andrew about his development as an athlete but also, I wanted to hear what it is like to be the #1 support person in a relationship where mental health is a regular discussion.

Kelly went from a guy who had never played high school sports to a one of the top ultra-endurance mountain bikers in the world.  Today we talk about what it's like to base your identity outside of your sport, what it's like to come up short on your biggest goals, and we spend a good bit of time diving into why the Maah Daah Hey 100 is just so special to Kelly.
