IMPOSSIBLE ROUTE WEST YELLOWSTONE

Mission   

The Vegan Cyclist and Jeremiah Bishop are challenged by Tour Divide winner and winter biking specialist; Jay Petervary.  Jay’s winter hell route is extreme Fat Biking.  Will these two winter beginners remember what they learned from their winter survival course? Will they make it through the sub zero wilderness. 
 

Why

The Vegan cyclist's worst fear is the cold, and this could be redemption from our tour gravel episode in France where Tyler became hypothermic.

Tension   

Riders have to work together Obviously going to be comical since neither of them have fat bike experience or Sub 0 riding.

Side plot 

Jay  P’s backstory Iditarod 1,000 across alaska- Race stories. 

Jay breaks the fourth wall and behind camera plots on ways to make the ride harder on use. And gives subtle rubs about our low prep, mental toughness and the expedition mindset.


Route Jay p’s Custom torture route  

 

Created as a variation of Jay’s fat pursuit race route it features two savage days of close to 20 hours of riding on day one followed but a climb to 10,000 feet on day two in the middle of winter!

ALMSTHRE + MOG fully embraces this sentiment. We aim not to redefine the essence of riding, but rather to experience the joy of two wheels in our own unique way. ALMSTHRE was born in Southern California, where our trails lie and this is what we ride.

Unbound Gravel is quite the event and really has to be seen to be understood. Something that I personally appreciated was the overall good vibes that permeated the streets. With thousands of people flocking to Emporia, Kansas, with a population of 24,000 that swells to some 34,000 or more.
