Imagine climbing over 46,000 feet across 600 miles on a recumbent bicycle that weighs 10 pounds more than the average road bicycle and then taking the victory in a 3-stage double century road race.

On today’s episode, we’ll be hearing all about the epic journey of one recumbent rider, Jason Perez, who against all odds claimed victory in the 2016 California Triple Crown series stage race, which included the Devil Mountain Double Century, the Central Coast Double Century, and the White Mountain Double Century. 

In part 2 of 3, we’ll learn about Jason's race in the Central Coast Double Century, the second stage race in the series.

Let’s roll! 🚲💨

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.
