Endurance and Exploration - Jacob Lemanski's 999-Day Biking Odyssey

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, Jacob shares his extraordinary journey of biking around the world. Starting from Denver and trekking through various terrains and countries, he details his experiences, challenges, and the remarkable people he met along the way.

Jacob discusses his transition from an aerospace engineer to an adventurer, camping in the most unusual places and confronting nature's extremes. He speaks about his encounters with different cultures, from Russia to South America, and the lessons learned on endurance and solitude.

Post-adventure, Jacob's life took a turn towards creativity, leading him to build artistic ant farms and more recently, to guide e-bike tours in Colorado. He's also created a podcast called, "How to Move the Stars", a day-by-day retelling of his bicycle ride twice around the world. He emphasizes how the journey changed his worldview and his approach to life's challenges, offering insights that go beyond just the physical feat of cycling across the globe.
