What's it like to go bikepacking in Indonesia? Olly Hargreaves has sent through his last update all about cycling from Jakarta to Balin starting with a 38 hour ferry ride from Singapore! Olly reckons Java has the steepest roads of his whole ride, steeper than the Alps, Afghanistan or the Pamir Highway, with gradients up to 30% and descents where your fingers never leave the brakes. He also explains why he skipped the busy north coast road and the brutal southern route other bikepackers took, ...
Wes Murray has been hosting cyclists on the TransAmerica Trail since 2012 at his home in Houston, Missouri. Since then he's hosted over 300 bike adventurers who have stayed at 'The Shack'. His hospitality and kindness is legendary and now many riders have 'staying with Wes' as a milestone when they plan their ride across the USA. It's a pleasure to chat with Wes and hear how it is he and his late wife Judy got into hosting cyclists in the first place, and hear him share his experiences ...
Going on a bike adventure can be a huge deal and perhaps you've found that fear is holding you back from going out there and exploring. This week I'm sharing excerpts from my original interview with Saoirse Pottie, which give insight into how she pushed her fears (and those others had for her!) aside and how she did this one small step at a time. Firstly with getting used to riding alone, then wildcamping solo, to taking a journey that would last weeks before going ahead and spending mo...
This year Ash Eagles won the 1700km TransAtlantic Way which was his first ever ultracycling event. What makes this even more incredible is that it came almost 5 years after surviving a very rare form of bone cancer where doctors warned him he may never ride his bike again. The day after going through the operation, Ash promised himself that he'd cycle 100kms within a year and it's incredible to learn more about his story and see exactly what he has achieved on the bike since. This inclu...

Since then she's taken to mapping out off-road routes around Mexico as well as lining up for ultra racing events, such as Tour de Frankie and the Japanese Odyssey. We talk about how she managed to overcome her fears and what it's like to loo...
If you could relive one moment from your bike adventure what would it be? Earlier this year I hosted a series of live shows in Melbourne featuring previous podcast guests Fergal Guihen, Em Hulbert and David McCourt. This exact question was posed during one of those Melbourne Live shows and the answers were so good I'm sharing it with you today. Fergal takes us into the Taklimakan Desert in China, stranded with no food or water until a local guide turned up out of nowhere on ...
Imagine a bike adventure that takes you from Europe SE Asia and back again. Now imagine doing it solo. That is exactly what Oktawia Van Tienderen did and in this episode she is sharing her experiences of taking a journey on like this as a solo woman. Oktawia's original plan was to set off from Poland and continue travelling East. Then she realised that would entail enduring temps of minus 30C by the time she reached Kazakhstan so a change was needed. Instead she got a ticket to Hanoi in...
