Episode #1 Taylor Lideen

Thanks for tuning into the first episode of The Average Watts Podcast. In this episode I set down with Taylor Lideen of Phoenix, AZ. Taylor is arguably one of the best ultra-endurance mountain bike and gravel racers in the world. Some of Taylor’s accolades are 2017, 2018 True Grit Epic 100 winner. 2018 Epic Rides 24hrs in the Old Pueblo winner as well as setting the course record with 20 laps. Taylor then went on in 2018 to be second at the 24hr World Championships in Fort Williams, Scotland.

Taylor really opened up in this interview and talked about the way he approaches the sport, and the way his wife, Mary, plays such a pivotal role in his career.

Taylor also talks about how he's suffered with self-doubt, even as a pro, and how he has come back from both physical and mental adversity.

Taylor's one of those guys that completely turns himself inside and out and it's visible. You can look at his Instagram @tlideen and web site www.taylorlideen.com and see some of the photos.
