Hello and welcome to the Bikes or Death podcast.

This is Patrick and I'm your host.

This is a show that talks about bikepacking, adventuring, and the cool people who participate.

This show is a little bit different.

If you've been following along, you'll know that I recently went on a bike packing trip to Big Ben Ranch State

Park with Jared Foster and his adventure media class. It was a super awesome experience and I am

going through all that audio right now, getting it ready to put into a podcast. And while I was doing that, I came across one particular audio file

that I've decided to release as a standalone podcast.

This interview is with Anna Claire,

and she and I sat down on the morning, on morning of day two of this bike packing trip.

And we were all filling up water getting ready for the day.

And she and I had some time where we were just sitting there in a dry creek bed to chat.

So I asked her if she'd do a podcast or do a little interview with me.

And she obliged.

And I was thinking a little five-minute conversation,

but we wound up talking for like 25 minutes or so.

And it was so good that, like I said,

I decided I was just going to go ahead and release it.

All right, but first, let's get to some housekeeping.

If you want to keep up with me and the show and what we've got going on,

you can find me at Bikes for Death on Instagram,

and I just launched a Facebook group as well.
