In this episode of The Bootleg Miles, JP shares an exciting development: the next installment in the Maah Daah Hey film series, Back to the Start, is underway. This project delves deeper into the intertwining paths of cycling and mental health, offering a narrative that's both personal and universally resonant. As the journey unfolds, there's a unique opportunity for the community to play a pivotal role in bringing this story to life.

JP discusses how this film isn't just about the miles ridden but the stories shared, the challenges faced, and the collective strength found in unity. By engaging with this project, you're not only supporting a film but becoming part of a movement that seeks to inspire, connect, and foster understanding through the lens of cycling and personal growth.

In this episode of The Stable Cyclist Podcast, I sit down with Colleen Maher, whose rise in gravel racing is nothing short of incredible. Just three years ago, she was a self-proclaimed couch potato—now, she’s a national champion. We discuss her rapid ascension in the sport, what it’s like to experience so much success so quickly, and how that can lead to an unexpected identity crisis. When cycling becomes such a big part of who you are, what happens next?

Beyond racing, we dive into the struggle of making new friends as an adult and how cycling has helped her build a strong community. Colleen also shares insights on getting more beginners involved in the sport and why progress looks different for everyone. Whether you’re just getting into cycling or have been riding for years, this episode is packed with inspiration and real talk about the challenges of personal growth in sport and life.

In this episode of The Bootleg Miles, I’m finally telling the full story of my love for the Bonk Bros. But this is more than just fanboy appreciation. This is a story about the kindness of strangers, unsolicited support and finding your way back after everything falls apart.

In the midst of a massive mental health project in 2023, I had a devastating mountain bike crash and head injury sidelining me for over a year, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever ride again. But the guys in the Bonk Bros helped in the ways they could, and Adam Saban stuck with me. Now we’re working together to prepare for the Maah Daah Hey 100 and to finish that massive Mental Health Project—and this episode is a tribute to the people who never stopped believing. If you’ve ever struggled to get back up, or wondered if your story still matters, I hope this video reminds you that you are not alone.
