Today on the podcast, we are thrilled to welcome professional cyclist and adventurer, Jeremiah Bishop. While Jeremiah has a storied career in racing, many of you also know him from his collaboration with Tyler Pearce (The Vegan Cyclist) on the visually stunning and incredibly grueling YouTube series, "The Impossible Route."

In this conversation, we peel back the layers of what it really takes to complete these massive multi-day adventures. Jeremiah takes us behind the scenes of the filming process, discussing the logistics of balancing high-level athletic performance with creating compelling content in the middle of nowhere.

But the most exciting part? The "Impossible" is becoming accessible. Jeremiah shares the details on his brand new venture: offering supported bike tours along some of the iconic routes featured in the video series.

If you love gravel cycling, bikepacking, or just hearing stories about human endurance in beautiful places, you don’t want to miss this one.

In This Episode We Discuss:

1. The origins of the collaboration with Tyler Pearce (The Vegan Cyclist).
2. Defining "Impossible": How they scout and select routes that balance rideability with extreme challenge.
3. The reality of filming vs. the reality of riding: What the cameras don't show.
4. The New Tours: How Jeremiah is opening up these legendary routes to the public through guided trips, and what participants can expect.
5. Are you up to the challenge? How to prepare for an "Impossible" route.

This episode we talk with James Llewellyn, the mastermind behind Mammoth Endurance Gravel. We’re digging into the PA Grand Canyon, the logic behind the two-loop format, and why this might be the hardest mental test on the East Coast calendar.
