Description
<p class="">Glenn MacArthur grew up in a tiny village high in the French Alps, where riding bikes and exploring mountains was just part of everyday life. He’s taken that foundation and built a really interesting path in mountain biking, one that doesn’t follow traditional racing norms.</p>
<p class="">From blind racing to setting fastest known times on crazy routes. From navigating the privateer world to landing a standout result at Epic Enduro, Glenn’s approach is all about curiosity, commitment and finding what actually feels right, rather than what the sport says you should do.</p>
<p class="">This is a chat about carving your own place in the MTB world, learning from the tough days, and keeping things authentic. <em>So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this </em>episode with Glenn MacArthur.</p>
