Meaghan Hackinen | Rockin' the Atlas Mountain Race

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I have Meaghan Hackinen back on the podcast for her 4th time. In this episode we dive into her recent women's 2nd place finish at the Atlas Mountain Race. We discussed her preparations for the event and how challenging it can be to do a major race in the middle of winter, her new Cutthroat and getting it race ready, what she got up to before and after the event, as well as the race itself. As usual, it's a pleasure to get to chat with Meaghan and I hope you enjoy our conversation.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/bikepackadventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bikepackadventures Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubUse these affiliate links to help cover the costs of running the show.Redshift SportsPanorama CyclesFind them at:Instagram: Meaghan HackinenFacebook: Meaghan HackinenWebsite: Meaghan Hackinen – Writer, cyclist & adventure seekerFind me at…WEBSITEYOUTUBEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMITUNESShow SponsorsPanorama Cycles --> They believe that cycling is a catalyst for adventures, no matter how small they can be.

Om Podcasten

I am a traveler, cyclist, expat and teacher with over 15 years experience living abroad in six different countries. As a passionate cyclist I have seen the world by bike and has toured in some truly amazing places, such as Sweden, Germany, Japan, most of SE Asia and of course Canada. During that time, I have traveled to over 40+ countries and met countless travelers, cyclists, and other expats. While traveling by bike, I decided that I wanted to connect the touring and bikepacking community together and this became the catalyst of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast where I share my guests fascinating stories and helps listeners learn tips, tricks, and techniques to improve their touring and bikepacking experience. As it's not possible to always bike tour, I have recently dove headfirst into the bikepacking world with the intent of getting out into nature and spending as much time on my bike as possible. This has re-ignited my passion around bikes and has opened up the podcast to so many more possibilities with interviews of traditional bike tourers, bikepackers, endurance athletes and more. I hope you enjoy the show. Keep on pedalling!
