Summary
Just last week Hailey Moore became the fourth person to ever complete the Doom Route, created by Andrew Onermaa. She didn't just finish though, she set a new FKT (fastest known time) with a time of 2d 15h 30m, setting a new benchmark for racers this weekend. Hailey drove herself from Boulder, CO to Oark, AR so she could do an ITT (individual time trial) on a seriously tough route. This is bikepack racing in one of its most pure forms, just you, your bike, and territory unknown, finishing only to an empty parking lot late at night.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends, and welcome to the Bikes or Death podcast. As always, my name is Patrick, and I am your host. |
| 0:06.0 | And on today's episode, I'm pleased to be joined by Haley Moore. She hails from Boulder, Colorado, |
| 0:13.0 | and she recently set out on her own to go tackle the Doom route in the northwestern portion of Arkansas. You're probably familiar with this route. |
| 0:25.3 | It was created by Andrew Honor Ma. It's known to be challenging. And at the time, Haley decided to do |
| 0:33.5 | her ITT, only three people had ever completed the Doom Route. When she finished, she not only |
| 0:40.5 | became the fourth person to ever finish the route, but she set a new FKT at the same time with a time |
| 0:47.8 | of two days and 15 hours. Kind of the fun thing about when this is all playing out is that tonight, actually, |
| 0:57.4 | I leave to head up to Oark, Arkansas. I'm going to be covering the Doom route, hopefully doing |
| 1:04.2 | some podcasting, taking some pictures, meeting some people. And so this episode is very timely. |
| 1:11.4 | If you are heading up to Gravel Doom |
| 1:14.3 | or you're just interested in that event, |
| 1:16.3 | or you wanna hear Haley's story, |
| 1:18.5 | this is a very timely episode. |
| 1:20.0 | I hope that everybody enjoys it. |
| 1:22.0 | I really did. |
| 1:23.1 | Haley is relatively new to bike pack racing, |
| 1:26.5 | so I took this opportunity to ask her if we're going to be seeing more of her on the race |
| 1:30.8 | circuit. |
| 1:32.2 | She is not confined to the bike alone. |
| 1:34.5 | She does many other sports. |
| 1:37.4 | And we talk about some of those two, namely climbing. |
| 1:40.1 | I'm kind of a climbing fan. |
