In this captivating episode, we sit down with Tim March, the ghost writer behind Steve Peat's autobiography "Forged by Speed: The Making of a Mountain Bike World Champion." March reveals the three-year journey of bringing mountain biking legend Steve Peat's story to life, drawing from over 20 years of detailed personal diaries and 100+ hours of recorded conversations. Listeners will discover how Peat balanced his notorious party lifestyle with becoming one of downhill mountain biking's greatest champions.

The conversation explores Peat's evolution from riding rigid bikes on Sheffield's gnarly terrain to his pivotal meeting with Rob Roskopp at Santa Cruz Syndicate, his fierce rivalries with Nicolas Vouilloz and Greg Minnaar, and the personal struggles that shaped his career. March provides fascinating insights into Peat's unique character—a world-class athlete who refused to compromise his social life for success, yet still achieved 17 World Cup wins, two World Cup overalls, and a World Championship title while maintaining his status as mountain biking's ultimate "hammerhead."
