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!

Team Best MAAP Equinox ride: "A Million Feet, One Smile at a Time"

The goal was deceptively simple: as a group, climb 1,000,000 feet in a single day on San Diego's Mt. Soledad. At first glance, it might sound monotonous or downright tedious, but scratch the surface, and you'll find an endless maze of roads winding their way up to the summit. The real kicker? No matter which route you took, each lap only netted you a mere 700-1,000 feet of elevation gain. A million feet? Yeah, it was a grind—but somehow, everyone did it with a smile.
