In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I have the chance to go deep with Henry Do about his journey into bikepack racing.
I first met Henry this past winter at the Wendigo Fatbike Ultra, a 200km rail-trail bike race. Needless to say, he beat me by about 6 hours. The morning after, we got to talking and I realized that I really need to get Henry on the podcast to share his journey.
Of course, it's difficult to go deep into all the various accomplishments in just one podcast episode, and we only just briefly covered the fact that Henry was the only participant at the Grand Depart of the inaugural Trans-Canada Bike Race in 2022, completing the event in 62 days. Only one other person has completed the event and that was Chris Bennett, who I had on the podcast way back in episode 35 in 2019, which goes to show just how tough it must have been. From triathlon to ironman, bike racing, bike touring and endurance racing, this conversation runs the gamut.
