Episode Details

Charlie Murray is not racing the Enduro World Cup this year, and he’s joining us to explain why.

This isn’t a retirement story, think of it more as a sabbatical.

One of enduro racing’s most successful riders is stepping away from the World Cup circuit, at least for now, with burnout, injury, and the pressures of racing at the top level all playing a part in that decision.

In this conversation, we go inside that decision, the thinking behind it, and find out what comes next. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Charlie Murray.
