Podcast 414: John Thomas Returns

On June 9, 2023, Fretboard Journal contributor and Kalamazoo Gals
author John Thomas will set out on the wildest adventure of his
life: Bikepacking the 2700-mile Tour Divide mountain bike route,
from Banff, Canada to the US/Canada border. On this very special
bonus episode of the podcast, we check in with John before he
rides off. We talk about his recent piece on the Scott Chinery
Blue Guitar collection for the new, 52nd issue of our magazine,
discuss John’s health (he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in
2020), talk about his hopes/fears for the ride, and so much more.
