In Episode 5, Tom dives into one of the most discussed aspects of the STP route: "The Hill". As he trains to conquer this challenging part of the ride, Tom wonders if his bike is up to the task. To get the expert opinion he needs, Tom invites Adam Leopold, the service manager for Trek Tukwila, to the show to discuss whether his bike is truly good enough for the STP and all the training ride miles.
