This week Clint and Dawson sit down with Chris Joice. Chris's talents range from snowboarding to backpacking but the bike has been his passion since 2010. Chris has been a single speeder since 2012 and an endurance rider since 2013. He has raced Dirty Kanza 200, riden the Co trail, raced the TNGA, the adventure/pisgah exposure, Hurican 300, AMLX (512), Unbound XL 350, Trans Virgina 500, Arkansas High Country 1000 and many other gravel and mountain bike races. He loves mapping out new routes in his regional National forests of the Cherokee, Nantahala and Pisgah forests. He rides over 10,000 miles a year and a million vertical feet. He had a streak of riding every day for 3 years until he broke his arm. Chris is also a race director and a co-race director for the Hardford and Waucheesi races and has a Production company known as Darkhorse Race Productions.

The bike for Chris is many things from social time to reflection to therapy to filling his competitive and endurance spirit.
