How a 60-Mile Mountain Bike Race Reinforced the Power of Intentional Living (Ep. 103)

Big goals often look simple until you are in the middle of them, tired, uncertain, and second-guessing everything.

How do you stay steady when the plan shifts? How do you prepare for the parts you cannot predict?

In this episode, Josh Leonard shares how a grueling 60-mile mountain bike race deepened his view on preparation, mindset, and the importance of thinking ahead. He talks about the parallels between physical endurance and retirement planning, the value of support systems, and how steady habits create a more intentional life. 

Key points:

  • Planning missteps that made the Austin race tougher, and why preparation shapes outcomes
  • How heat, hydration, and equipment choices influenced the long ride and its lessons
  • Why support systems matter when facing difficult moments or big goals
  • How intentional preparation mirrors the steps needed for retirement planning
  • The value of seeking growth at every stage of life and staying engaged
