I was mega fascinated by the Silk Road Mountain Race on its first edition (2018) so I decided to build up a mini series and carry it on the BroomWagon Podcast. A first approach to the race that I would be following in the 2019 edition, directly from the media care. A long talk with Nelson Trees, the race organizer, and the before/after with Jon Woodroof, Max Burgess and Bengt Stiller, three riders that took part to the brutal race without finishing it but sucking all the spirit of it.
