×Just catching up… Lots to share about life and politics. We live in crazy times right now and I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t affecting me. Life changes aside, the world seems to be slipping into an abyss of Oligarchy. It’s as if these politicians are taking queues from apocalyptical sci-fi movies. These scripts of billionaires taking over the world, oppression of it’s citizens, dictatorships, and US federal governments lawlessness are leading to catastrophic times. It’s hard to remain hopeful but all we can do is vote with our wallets and our feet and, in the upcoming Canadian Federal Elections, vote for the person who is most likely to lead our country to prosperity and not kiss the ring of the spoiled rich kid overseeing the destruction of the United States and possibly, if not stopped, the economic and natural world as we know it. Stay strong, Canada. And for my US listeners, I’m sorry this is happening to you.

On February 20th, I lost my mom, Betty O’Shaughnessy, to cancer. She fought hard but in the end, cancer won the battle. I was encouraged to write while I was in Ontario with my family to support my mom during her final days, as a way to remain grounded. It was cathartic and despite writing being considered a distraction, it actually helped me to remain even more present and observant to all the tiny moments leading up to her death. I needed time to process my Mom’s passing before publishing this novelette. Still, it was hard to get through as this piece captured moments that, when re-read, whisked me back to the event and the raw emotions shared with my family. I won’t go on too much here as I want the story to speak for itself. Even though I thought I finished writing it, I feel as though I missed some important moments. One such moment was when my sister and I were going through old family photos, organizing them for the memorial service that took place only two days after her passing. This brought so much love and laughter into the space and I’m so grateful to have been able to share that with my family. Though this is a sad account and a chapter of my life that will forever be forged into my heart, I wanted to share it with you. I have never experienced loss like this before and I wasn’t sure how I would cope. Luckily, I have a number of loving and supportive people in my life and a community of My Back 40 listeners to lean on. If I haven’t already thanked you for reaching out with your thoughts, know that every word I received bolstered my strength and enabled me to get through this. Perhaps this is a little outside the box for My Back 40. For those of you who have been with me the last 5 years, you’ll know that part of this project is to not only share stories from amazing people, but to also share a little bit of my life too. Or maybe a lot. My hope is that by being vulnerable here, it will encourage others to do the same. Life is too short to not be our authentic selves.

These are pretty fucked up times, so what better way to break the tension than with a conversation with Scott Losse. Uncle, Comedian, Biker, Snowboarder, IT guy - After seeing a string of laughable Reels about gravel bikes, anodized parts making you a better rider, and the joys of chihuahua ownership, I had to reach out to connect for a chat to get to know him better. Scott started doing stand-up in 2009 after being motivated by a person you wouldn’t expect, and since then has been featured on Dry Bar Comedy , Laughs on Fox, and Sirius XM Satellite Radio. You can also check out his album Popular Doughnuts on Spotify This renaissance man was a blast to talk to and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Andy Ward is a ferocious beast with the energy and fervour of a Scottish Red Squirrel. His speed and race results may be the first thing that catch attention, but it is his boundless positivity and joy that everyone remembers. Andy is the first to offer encouragement. He loves nothing more than discussing gear choices and ride strategy, and he is right there to celebrate everyone's victories with equal stoke. Mr Ward single handedly blew the doors off of the Lost Elephant by turning what was once a 2 plus day race into a 35 hour race, many people will never forgive him for this, but we will all respect him for it. The aspect of Andy that may have surprised me the most is his attention to detail and preparedness. He seems to always be tinkering and finding ways to make his setup more efficient. I really admire his grit and determination, his fitness speaks for itself, but most of all I am thankful for his friendship. This bikepacking world is a funny one filled with even funnier individuals and at the outer edges are the extra unique ones. Andy is leading the parade of that fringe group within the fringe. He is one of our fiercest competitors, our most courageous adventurers and our most eager cheerleaders. Thank you Andy for being you. There is no one that could do it better. Hugs and kisses.

In this episode I chat about winter riding, politics, motivation and mental health. This can be a hard time for many folks dealing with S.A.D.D. Thanks to the earth's tilt, we're seeing colder temperatures and less light. Just keep in mind that as if December 21st days are going to start to get longer again, so hang in there. Another significant date that is coming up is Blue Monday which happen on January 20th, 2025. Here's a Wiki about it. Deemed the saddest day of the year based on a multitude of factors, it's a time of higher than normal suicide levels. With this in mind, keep an eye on your loved ones. My advice? Try to find beauty in all things this winter. Layer up and get outside, especially on those blue bird sunny days. I guarantee it will give you a lift.

Well, it's been a summer of adventure and change. I haven't been around much taking a much needed sabbatical as I evaluate the next chapter of my life. There were many balls in the air the last few months; Unemployment, kid's being off for the summer, parenting schedule, coparenting challenges, potential re-education, travel and adventure. For those of you continuing to support me here on Patreon, I appreciate you. My hope is that this podcast is somewhat coherent and enjoyable.

In this episode, I bring you a conversation with Graham Mann the new man at the helm of RollingDale Cycles . It all started with a titanium hammer. This purchase led to Graham living his dream of building thoughtfully designed, high performance titanium bicycles for the discerning cyclist. Founded in 2016, Dale Marchand wanted to bring the world of custom bikes to the people who understood the importance of, not only the fit of the bike, but also the detail with which it is built. Every customer has a hand in the design so that the end product is one of the highest quality and performance possible. Graham's intention is continue this ethos as the new helmsman. You will hear in the conversation that Graham is passionate about what he does and can't wait to continue the legacy of RollingDale Cycles. I wanted to thank everyone for their continued support over the summer while I try to figure out life. I'll tell you more in my monologue what has been going on and what my future plans are. Again, thank you for your continued support. I love you all. Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.

In this episode I bring you a conversation with Nick Pollard. @thepeopledispleaser. Nick focuses on setting boundaries, people pleasing, and personal growth. Nick has been in the coaching space since around 2010. In those days, he was a dating coach helping men build confidence. Now he's about helping men to show up better. This is a part 1 so if you have any feedback about this podcast and want to send me questions to ask Nick when we connect for a part 2, send them my way. Nick is very direct and honest with his opinions. He pushes back on a couple of the things I say which always makes for a great conversation. I hope you enjoy this one and find some takeaways.

In this episode I have a chat with Svein Tuft, winner of the BC Epic 1000. Svein shattered the record riding 1,044 km with almost 12,000 m of ascent in a time of 2 days and 2 hours. Svein is a retired Canadian road cyclist who competed professionally from 2005 to 2019. He rode for several teams, including Symmetrics, Garmin–Transitions, SpiderTech–C10, Mitchelton–Scott, and Rally UHC Cycling. Tuft won the 2006–07 UCI America Tour and claimed thirteen titles at the Canadian Road Cycling Championships: twice in the road race and eleven times in the time trial. We chat about his childhood, his draw to doing hard things, what is was like riding as a professional cyclist and what drew him to unsupported bikepack racing, which is quite a departure from the pro tour but something that he has fallen in love with.

I'm so proud to bring you a conversation with Meaghan Hackinen, woman's winner of the 2024 Tour Divide. 4,400 km, 60,000m of elevation gain in just 15 days 22 hours. Between the cold temperatures, the rain, the snow, and the peanut butter mud, to say that she crushed this route would be an understatement. To witness Meaghan’s transformation into a formidable off road bikepack racing athlete from the world or road specific ultra endurance racing has been a joy. Her positive mindset despite the conditions this year is beyond impressive. In this conversation we talked about how she maintained her positive mindset despite the adversity of this years course and conditions, and some of the challenges she faced along the way. We chat about women’s participation in these events and discuss the supportive nature that exists in the community. I really enjoyed this chat and I hope you do too.

In this episode, I chat with Curtis Litun of Pink Weasel Coffee Company. Curtis is an entrepreneur and has been part of 4 different small businesses. Most of you may know him from his premium clothing line, Spandex Panda, but recently Curtis has also begun roasting premium coffee. We recorded this podcast in the roastery that he has set up in his home. Coming from a roasting background myself, I can attest that Curtis pours a lot of love and passion into Pink Weasel - you can taste it. Not only did we record in his roastery, we chat while he roasts up an order for production.

Exclusive content announcement. Starting with "Vibe of the Divide', I am going to start offering exclusive content to supporters starting at the $5 level. Certain episodes will be available to supporters, while truncated versions will will go out to the public. There will still be a ton of public episodes, not to worry. In this teaser, I chat with TD riders from the day before and the morning of the start. They share their goals and aspirations, their fears and excitement about tackling the route and pushing themselves. Having been a podcaster for over 5 years, I have spent thousands of hours on administration, conversation, recording, editing, website dev, writing, graphics - the list goes on. There's also the expense of maintaining a website, cloud storage, recording equipment, internet access, gas for the van. This isn't to illicit feelings of sympathy, it's about the realities of operating a Canadian Small Business. A passion project to be sure, but also a part time job that, thanks to supporters, allows me to maintain an existence in a world of job loss, housing shortages and rising gas, food, and utility prices. 1 coffee a month. A pint, perhaps? Maybe lunch? If you find value in what I do and want to chip in, I'd be grateful. For those who have continued to support me over the years - I can't say thank you enough. In a sea of podcasts hosted by movie stars, it's a grind, but I love what I do at My Back 40 and I want to continue to bring more valuable and inspirational content. This might include travelling to destinations to meet with a special guest, if the resources exist. Thanks for being a part of the My Back 40 community and thanks in advance for your support. We've built something truly special here. I look forward to the next chapter. Keep The Rubber Side Down. Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Drew Raney @raneydayss . Drew recently helped put on a bikepacking event in the Los Padres National Forest in California - Tour de Los Padres - which he completed on a singlespeed! Additionally, he raised $1,000 for his elementary school to give away bikes and start a comprehensive "learn to ride" program for ages 4-6 through the All Kids Bikes organization. As the school's PE teacher, he strives to instill a healthy lifestyle in his 500+ students by challenging himself through bikepacking ultra events. We chat about Drew’s life as an educator as well as the importance of getting kids on bikes as a vital life skill fostering confidence and self esteem as well as giving them an activity that they can enjoy for a lifetime.
