Big Sugar recap pt. 2 with Henry Nelson
Show notes
Henry Nelson had a breakout ride at Big Sugar earlier this month, going solo towards the finish and looking like he might be the first to cross the line. It was an impressive performance for someone who is relatively new, not just to gravel, but to bike racing in genrral. The 24-year-old started riding bikes after a blood sugar issue cut short his running career, and with a little help from Riley Amos, he quickly demonstrated that he has a bright future ahead of him in the sport. He sat down with Payson last week to talk about his career-best ride at Big Sugar, growing up in Kansas, juggling multiple jobs to keep his cycling dreams afloat, and his enduring love of maps.
