I recently had a chance to catch-up with Payson in Durango ahead of his big race at the Leadville 100 this weekend and thought I'd ask a few questions so everyone can learn more about the two-time defending marathon mountain bike national champion.
Big weekends -- our mini vacations sneaking off to some nearby local to mountain bike, road ride, run, or hike -- are what motivate many of us to get through the work week.

I felt that summer was slipping away, so this past weekend I was on a mission do something memorable even if it meant a solo adventure.
The Tour de France is once again upon us. While I don’t watch the race as religiously as I once did (the hype, doping scandals, and related politics have soured me), I’m still fascinated by the big climbing stages. In celebration of Le Tour we're giving away a sweet Beta Red / Enduro Bites prize package to one lucky winner selected from those who tell us about their favorite big ride.
I'm well behind with my blog due to the overwhelming demand we've been experiencing for Enduro Bites Real Race Food. Now most companies in our position would simply call their supplier and order more product.
If you live at altitude or in the desert, you’ve probably gotten so accustomed to the “hydrate, hydrate, hydrate” mantra that it’s lost all meaning. Yeah, yeah, you grumble, grabbing a water bottle.
