Summary

When Indy showed up at the East Texas Showdown he told me that he's doing a Yo-Yo and if he doesn't complete it to DNF him. Fortunately, I didn't have to because after 760 miles he became the first person to attempt and complete the Showdown Yo-Yo with an offical time of 3d 12h 20m!

0:00.0	Hello, sports fans, and welcome back to the Bikes for Death podcast. As always, my name is Patrick,
0:05.6	and I'm your host. And we are fresh off of the second iteration of the East Texas Showdown.
0:12.1	By all accounts, it was a mega success. We didn't get any reports of anything but positivity, to be
0:19.5	honest, which is just incredible. We learned a lot this year,
0:24.2	going from 42 people to 98 people is a lot more people. I think I underestimated how much
0:33.4	additional work and how many more people that is and and what all is entailed with running an event
0:40.8	with that many people. But that is not a negative comment. That is just a learning opportunity.
0:48.3	And I can't wait to come back bigger and better next year. Emily and I have already been comparing notes and we are
0:56.9	well on our way to already preparing a much better event in 2023. We had absolutely perfect weather.
1:04.5	The times were insane. We had Kuyah that came out of Austin who blew the doors down on the east texas showdown that's the
1:14.2	three hundred and eighty mile route and he did it in under 24 hours uh an official time of 23 hours
1:21.5	and 54 minutes so uh come and get you some if you want it because he has thrown the gauntlet down.
1:30.6	Another storyline this year was Indiana Schultz, who came all the way down from Illinois to do the East Texas Showdown.
1:39.1	And when he got here, he told me that he was going to yo-yo the entire route. So if you don't know what a yo-yo is,
1:47.2	essentially Indy rode the entire 380 miles and then got to the bullet grill, took a short break
1:54.9	to get some food and water, et cetera, et cetera. And then he was back out on the course, riding it in reverse
2:03.3	in its entirety for a total of 760 miles. So big congrats to Indy. He's the first person
2:11.7	ever take on this challenge and complete it. And let's not forget that he was on a single speed.
2:20.5	And he's not a longtime single speeder.
2:22.9	He just started single speeding about four months ago.
2:25.3	So as you'll learn on today's episode, Indiana is no stranger to long endurance bike rides.
2:33.1	He's done the Grand Gravill 500.
