    An Unbound Journey
    Jul 6 2024

    This week on the podcast, host Tom Butler takes a frank look at his progress halfway through the year. He admits to some struggles in staying on track with his cycling goals, and shares a, let's just say, less than comfortable experience with deep tissue massage.

    But the episode isn't all about bumps in the road. Tom welcomes back Mike Baltierra, who shares his incredible story of overcoming a health challenge and making a full recovery that allowed him to tackle the grueling Unbound Gravel race. Mike's journey is a testament to the power of fitness and the body's remarkable ability to heal.

    Tune in for a dose of honesty, inspiration, and a reminder that even setbacks can be part of an amazing cycling journey.
