EP 748: Endurance Meets History: Honoring California's First Pioneer Crossing

In this episode, we welcome back Bob Crowley and Tim Twietmeyer, co-founders of History Expeditions, who've shown us how endurance fitness can unlock incredible adventures beyond racing.

This fall, they and a team of veteran endurance athletes will bring history to life with a never-before-attempted 120-mile horseback crossing of the Sierra Nevada, retracing the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party's path.

Over five days, they'll ride from Donner Lake to Auburn, uncovering long-lost routes, reflecting on the grit of California's pioneers, and honoring one of America's most harrowing journeys. This isn't just an expedition—it's endurance sport meeting living history.
