Chas Christiansen aka Notchas is my guest today. Chas is an artist,
a professional fixed gear & ultra endurance athlete, a former
bike messenger and simply an overall inspiring person. Besides the
Transcontinental Race, Chas took part in the inaugurial Atlas
Mountain Race, FURTHER and the Stage Coach 400 - a self support
Mountain Bike Race. We first met when racing fixed gear crits at
the Red Hook Crit series. While we do dwell a little in fixed gear
memories, this podcast is about much more than that. Chas was one
of the people that „helped“ me with his advice and encouragement in
preparation for the Transcontinental Race. He’d done it with his
partner Nico Deportago-Cabrera in a team the year before and then
raced it again the same year as us. We talk about the spirit of
ultra races like the Transcontinental Race and why Mike Halls mum
reached out to Nico and him after their first TCR. This is
definitely not the first time it happens, but it still amazes me,
how someone from far away, from another continent can have an
impact on your life. Through the internet. A very special episode
for me. I hope you enjoy it as well! SUPPORTER: Ortlieb Waterproof:
