In this episode #163 we talk with Olympic Mountain Biker Riley Amos about:
- Nutrition and hydration and its evolution as he joined the elites
- How he uses caffeine and supplements like sodium bicarbonate and beta-alanine
- Active and passive heat training
23-year-old Riley Amos was born and raised in Durango, Colorado, and has certainly made a name for himself in the mountain biking circuit since he went pro in 2021. Introduced to cycling through Durango Devo, an after-school program for youth in his community, he went on to ride for the Bear National team from ages 17 through 20, racing nationally and internationally. In 2021, he signed with Trek Factory Racing and went on to win 9 World Cups in the u23 category in 2024, as well as earned the title of the u23 Short Track World Champion. He also competed at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games, where he rode his way into 7th place. This year, he took home the 2025 Pro XCO National Championship. When he’s not competing across the globe, he loves spending time in his community in Durango, where he hunts, fishes, camps and spends time with friends.
