512 grueling miles and 31,000 ft of climbing, plus headwinds through a lot of that, was the challenge for racers of the HooDoo 500 event recently, taking riders through the beautiful state of Utah, including Red Canyon, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Staircase, Escalante, and Cedar Breaks. On today's episode, we'll be chatting with the solo supported division winner of this year's HooDoo 500, Giovanni Prosperi, an Italian ultra cyclist who now resides in the US.

Episode Transcript

I've been an ultra-endurance athlete since 2011. Since then I've bicycled 3,000 miles across the USA to fight human trafficking, participated in the Race Across America (RAAM), ridden twice non-stop from San Jose to Los Angeles (450 miles) and once out-and-back (900 miles), and completed over 50 double centuries, earning me the title of youngest ultra cyclist ever to be inducted into the California Triple Crown Hall of Fame.
