Podcasts about bikepacking

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 months cycling through Africa. You can listen to the full episode with Saoirse here and be sure to give her a follow on instagram to check out her future adventures in her snailblazers community via @snailblazers.cc Check out Old Man Mountain's Ponderosa Panniers Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

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 includes cycling 4,300miles across the USA on the TransAmerica Trail, then cycling LEJOG a route he'd dreamt of doing for 20 years, albeit Ash thought he'd be hiking it!LEJOG was the tester to see if an ultra like the TransAtlantic Way in Ireland could be possible. The results certainly speak for themselves, with Ash ending up first place finisher for the 1700km category at this years race. To keep up with Ash's future adventures check him out on instagram - @AshEaglesYou can also listen to his partner Becky's experience on teh TransAmerica Trail here.

Greg Hardy started sewing his own bikepacking bags while getting his PhD in materials science, which led him to put his career on hold, move to Asheville, NC, and found Rockgeist — which became one of the top bag makers in the bikepacking world. But things came crashing down when Hurricane Helene left their workshop under six feet of water. Greg joins us today to tell that story and how they rebuilt Rockgeist afterward.

Chris Burkard [32:00], renowned action photographer, joins us to share his journey and insights into the world of fly fishing and extreme sports. His unique perspective on connecting with nature through photography and fishing offers a refreshing take on outdoor adventure.  And along the way he offers some great tips on bikepacking with a fly rod.   In the Fly Box this week, we have these questions and more: I keep spooking the bigger trout in a small southern brook trout stream.  What can I do to avoid spooking them? Is an 8-weight Encounter rod enough to handle Pacific salmon in Michigan?  And how heavy a tippet should I use? I lost my biggest trout the other day after a long battle.  What advice do you have for landing bigger fish? How can I get the eyes on my big predator flies from coming off after a few casts? What do you carry in your "eventuality kit" when taking trips? I saw sea trout jumping outside my office in Stockholm, but I couldn't catch them.  What do you think they were doing? My buddies and I caught a bunch of fish on an experimental soft hackle that looked like nothing in nature.  I thought you were always supposed to match the hatch.  

Poli Berber started out being fearful of riding her bike in traffic. Then she went on a 10 month tour from Paris to Yereven which ended up being life changing. She returned back to Mexico City and through bikepacking rediscovered her own city. 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 look at a map and transform it into a bikepacking route others will enjoy. Poli also shares her experiences of having to problem solve a broken rear derailleur at 5000m of elevation in an ultra race in Peru! Be sure to check out Poli's video from her Tour de Frankie race and give her a follow via her instagram to keep track of her future adventures. @Berber.Poli Check out Old Man Mountain's Ponderosa Panniers Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

This week, Kathryn sits down with Kara Folkerts, a full time trail running guide and global bikepacker, to talk about the overlap between endurance sport, travel, and cultural curiosity. Growing up a runner in Canada, Kara moved into ultra-running during university while studying ecotourism and outdoor leadership which introduced her to guided trail running trips. They cover Kara's path into guiding, the logistics of a nomadic life, solo bikepacking, bikepack racing, and how she's navigated RED-S, fueling, and recovery while staying active. Kara and Kathryn also discuss the realities behind the glamorous outdoors lifestyle too, including the mental load of guiding, the challenge of consistent training, and why Kara keeps choosing adventures that require problem-solving instead of perfect plans.Follow Kara on Instagram @karafolkerts

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 a tiny bike. Em goes right back to the very first pedal stroke of her trip, heading up the coast out of Margaret River. David remembers a night in Malaysia, being chased by a storm in an area inhabited by wild elephants and I couldn't resist sneaking my own moment in too which will transport you to the Ireland at the Cliffs of Moher at sunrise.Plus, in this week's listener shoutouts, Anthony shares his own wild camping story from the Goulburn River in Victoria involving a very determined possum!

Il existe des entreprises qui accompagnent l'histoire du vélo sans chercher à suivre toutes ses évolutions. Berthoud Cycles fait partie de celles-là. Installée à Fleurville, en Saône-et-Loire, la manufacture bourguignonne prépare son cinquantième anniversaire. Depuis sa création en 1977 par Gilles Berthoud, elle a construit son identité autour du voyage, de la randonnée et du cyclotourisme. Elle fabrique aujourd'hui des vélos complets, des selles en cuir, des sacoches, des garde-boue et différents composants.En 2024, une nouvelle équipe a repris l'entreprise avec l'ambition de poursuivre le travail engagé par son fondateur, puis par Philippe Marguet qui lui avait succédé en 2015. Marjorie et Christophe, déjà salariés de Berthoud Cycles, se sont associés à Sébastien Klein, artisan cadreur et fondateur de Brevet Cycles, qui les a rejoints dans cette nouvelle aventure.Le site de Berthoud Cycles : https://berthoudcycles.fr/en/Hébergé par Ausha.

What does it look like to slow down, really slow down, and cross a country under your own power? Taylor Nichols is an actor, avid backpacker, and co-host of the Bike Talk radio show and podcast, and he did exactly that, biking solo and self-supported from San Francisco to East Lansing, Michigan. His destination was the house he grew up in, where his 101-year-old father still lives. Over 53 days and more than 3,000 miles, Taylor navigated the rugged California and Oregon coasts, followed the Lewis and Clark trail through Montana, and discovered that small-town bars in North Dakota double as community gathering halls. He opens up about the unexpected mental peace of life on the road, the headwind-as-metaphor insight that shifted his perspective, and the kindness of strangers, including a trail angel named Sherry who rescued him in an Oregon rainstorm. Follow Bike Talk onlineVisit Adventure Cycling Music:The Bicycle SongDavid Rovics https://www.soundclick.com/track/764943/david-rovics/the-bicycle-songused with Creative Commons licenseSupport the showConnect with Hike:Instagram: @thehikepodcast Facebook: @thehikepodcastEmail: hikepodcast@gmail.com

Vier Jahre, 100.000 Kilometer, in aller Welt – Markus ist als Bikepacker so ziemlich auf alles vorbereitet. Denkt man. Doch ausgerechnet bei einem vermeintlich einfachen Abstecher zum Machu Picchu gerät plötzlich alles durcheinander: Buchungen, Ansprechpartner, Preise – und irgendwann auch die Geduld. Eine Folge über Planungsillusionen, teure Lektionen – und die Erkenntnis, dass selbst die erfahrensten Reisenden manchmal um Fassung ringen.Markus auf Instagram: markus_bike----------------------------------Über das Format "Weltwach Reiseflops":Niemand scheitert gern – auch nicht auf Reisen. Aber im Nachhinein betrachtet ergeben die kleinen (und etwas größeren) Pleiten und Pannen unterwegs oft die schönsten Erinnerungen – und amüsantesten Geschichten.Genau die gibt es in dieser Show: Weltwach-Moderator Erik Lorenz zelebriert mit seinen Gästen genüsslich Stories von großen Rückschlägen und kleinen Fettnäpfchen, von Zumutungen und schmerzhaft erlangten Einsichten, fernab von Instagramability und aalglatten Abenteuergeschichten. Warum? Weil ein bisschen Schadenfreude glücklich macht. Und weil sich immer wieder zeigt: Hinter der Niederlage lauern wertvolle Lektionen. So mündet auch das hingebungsvollste Jammern für gewöhnlich unweigerlich: in einer Liebeserklärung an das Reisen. Du hast einen wahnsinnig witzigen oder lehrreichen Reiseflop erlebt und möchtest uns davon erzählen? Großartig!

Benjamin, la quarantaine, s'est lancé dans le sport il y a 10 ans. Il s'est mis au vélotaf, d'abord effectuant 70 km quotidiens, et progressivement il a allongé la distance, attiré par les exploits d'aventuriers à vélo qu'il admirait, essentiellement pour le côté voyage et aventure. Il se lance sur le 500 km de la Race Across France en 2023. L'expérience a été une réussite : il termine à la 7ᵉ place sur son vélo habituel avec freinage sur jante au milieu d'une armada de matos impressionnante. L'année suivante, il fait le Bikingman des Alpes-Maritimes. Sous un orage de 30 heures et il termine 4ᵉ derrière Laurianne Levasseur. Il prend goût à l'ambiance des Bikingman et en 2025 il fait la Corse et le Maroc qu'il remporte. Cette année, le programme était copieux avec une nouvelle fois le Maroc et l'Inca Divide au Pérou.Benjamin nous raconte dans ce podcast sa progression dans la découverte de l'ultra distance et il évoque avec nous son aventure récente au Pérou sur l'Inca Divide lors de ce 1200 km épique.A lire bientôt son récit sur https://bike-cafe.fr/Hébergé par Ausha.

Often the highlights of many bike adventures come from the people you meet along the way. In my recent episode with Becky Gilbert she mentioned being hosted by Wes in Missouri, while making her way across the USA on the TransAmerica Trail. Since that episode went out countless others have gotten in touch with me to share their experience of staying with Wes. Even better, Wes himself also got in touch to share why it is he loves hosting people who are cycling across the country.If you've got a story about being hosted by Wes, or perhaps you've hosted cyclists yourself, get in touch with me, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Nous sommes le 12 octobre 2024, place du Panthéon. Théotime Massot part à vélo vers le sud, sans itinéraire ni plan. 525 jours et 33 000 kilomètres plus tard, il revient au même endroit après avoir touché le point le plus au sud de l'Afrique, puis remonté jusqu'au Kenya, tout en récoltant des dons pour lutter contre la mucoviscidose

Daniel Troia initially got off a plane in Milan, Italy initially thinking he'd go bikepacking to Slovenia. But then as he set off he decided to change things up completely. He got rid of the entire plan, dumped his itinerary and let strangers he would meet along the way guide where he should go.  He ended up in the Swiss Alps and in this episode I'm chatting to him all about it. We discuss the importance of getting out into Nature and how getting away from structure and adventuring without a goal can be enriching. For the visuals behind this adventure you definitel want to check out Daniel's award winning documentary film which he made about this journey called  The Child Within. You can also keep up with Daniel's future adventures via his instagram - @the_travelin_dude Check out Old Man Mountain's Ponderosa Panniers Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

Featuring: Mike Levy, Josh Ross, Lisa Charlebois, and Logan Jones-Wilkins This week is easily one of our favorite recent episodes. All four Velo podcast hosts—Lisa Charlebois, Logan Jones-Wilkins, Mike Levy, and myself—are together in the virtual studio, and things get incredibly spicy. Expect a lot of passion and plenty of heated back-and-forth as we debate drivetrain futures, prototype spy shots, and the true definition of bikepacking. We kick things off with listener questions. What starts as straightforward bike-buying advice quickly devolves into an argument over whether bikepacking is strictly a gravel activity and if camping is actually required. Josh also gets a chance to double down on why there is more to a bike than its spec sheet, specifically making the case for the Cannondale CAAD14. Next, the conversation shifts to the newly spotted 13-speed Shimano Dura-Ace prototype. Because the system still relies on wires, the analysis quickly spirals into a broader SRAM vs. Campagnolo vs. Shimano showdown. The crew splits on what matters more: Shimano's shifting precision or the glaring gaps in the rest of the brand's ecosystem. Finally, the main event. Following a week of dueling op-eds, Logan and Josh bring the drivetrain battle to the microphone. Is 1x the inevitable future of road bikes, or will the slow-to-change road market ensure 2x remains superior? Listen to the arguments, read the articles on the site, and vote in the Velo poll to settle the score. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:52 - Listener questions: Bikepacking definitions and the Cannondale CAAD14 00:25:45 - Shimano 2x13 prototype and the great drivetrain brand war 00:53:41 - 1x vs. 2x on the road Read More on Velo Front Derailleurs Are Living on Borrowed Time: Why 1x on the Road Is the Inevitable Future Opinion: You Can Take My Front Derailleur When I am Dead The Velo Drivetrain Poll: Is 1x or 2x the Future of Road?

Becky Gilbert shares what it was like to cycle from Oregon to Virginia on the TransAmerica Trail. She undertook this adventure with her partner and Ash and all up spent three months cycling coast to coast across the USA.  This was the first long distance bike adventure Becky had undertaken and she admits that she had doubts about being able to complete the journey right from day one. In fact it wasn't until she was two months into the trip that she let herself believe she'd get to the finish!What made this journey that bit extra special was that Becky's Grandparents had themselves cycled the TransAmerica Trail almost 30 years earlier. For Becky she was out there pedalling the same route and reconnecting to storieds she'd been told about for so long. One of the highlights was  the conversations had with countless strangers all along the way, including Trail Angel Wes from Missouri, who is renowned for hosting numerous people who are cycling the TransAmerica Trail as they pass through his town.

Zwei Tage im Zug, sechs Etappen über 700 Kilometer, 16.000 Höhenmeter und 21 Anstiege. Darunter klangvolle Namen wie Col d'Aubisque, Col du Tourmalet Vor allem aber: Hitze ohne Ende. In dieser Folge erzählen ROADBIKE-Redakteur Felix und unser Fotograf Björn über ihre Bikepacking-Tour durch die Pyrenäen. Neben ihren Herausforderungen und Highlights geben sie zudem wertvolle Tipps für eigene Touren und wie man die Anreise, Verpflegung und Planung optimal meistert.

Guest Marcello Pacifici shares his experiences of bikepacking in some of the most isolated places in the Nordics. Originally from Rome in Italy, Marcello now calls Helsinki home. He got into riding bikes as a cheap way to get around the city, then expanded that to bikepacking as a way to discover Finland. His first bikepackign trip was 800kms and would take him all the way to Finnish Lapland.  He's since taken many other adventures including time spent on the Arctic Post Road  as well as three weeks spent riding in Iceland. When snow blocked the roads on the Iceland Divide Route, Marcello changed his plans and cycled the Westfjords Way. More recently he has just completed a solo journey on teh Faroe Islands. A place he says needs to be seen to be believed and which left him feeling he was standing on the edge of the world. You can follow Marcello's future adventures via his instagram - @WhereIsMarcello and read his ride reports via his substack blog  Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

What had you accomplished by 17? Not what dreams did you have, but what dreams had you already made come true? One thing I know for sure: You weren't the youngest person ever to complete the Bikepacking Triple Crown…unless your name is Cruz Blue. When I was 17, I spent most of my time skateboarding, avoiding homework, and chasing girls. Not exactly my finest years, but I'd argue my experience was probably more closely aligned with that of the average teenage boy than Cruz's was. Over the past year, Cruz has quietly been making a lot of noise in the bikepacking world. He has no social media, no blog, and no YouTube channel. He seems motivated almost entirely by a sense of adventure and what he calls youthful ignorance. So, unless you've been paying close attention, you may not have realized that a star was rising in Flagstaff, Arizona. Cruz comes from an adventurous family and grew up inspired to seek out adventures of his own. For him, racing is simply another form of adventure. He isn't particularly concerned with times, watts, records, or results—but he does place a premium on finishing. His only DNF came in 2025, when he attempted the Arizona Trail Race 800 as an individual time trial at just 16 years old. But let's back up a little. Cruz entered his first bikepacking race in 2024 at age 15. Just two short years later, he finds himself among an elite group of athletes credited with completing the Bikepacking Triple Crown. A brief history of his racing career: Age 15 Pinyons and Pines — 2d 15h 53m — 14th overall Age 16 AZTR 800 ITT — DNF Pinyons and Pines — 2d 7h 23m — 10th overall AZTR 800 ITT — 17d 7h 42m — Youngest solo AZTR 800 finisher Age 17 Pinyons and Pines — 3d 5h 19m — 17th overall Tour Divide — 19d 11h 6m Colorado Trail Race — 6d 17h 49m — Youngest-ever CTR finisher In less than 10 months, Cruz completed the Arizona Trail Race 800, Tour Divide, and Colorado Trail Race, becoming the youngest person ever credited with completing what we call the Bikepacking Triple Crown. Technically, the formal Triple Crown Challenge requires completing all three races within the same calendar year. Cruz completed his within a rolling one-year period. But the keepers of the records at Bikepacking.net officially list him as the youngest Triple Crown finisher, and who am I to argue!  The results, however, are only a small part of Cruz's story. The real story is Cruz himself – and it's his to tell. On today's episode, I have the privilege of getting to know one of our sport's youngest athletes, who has quietly been making a whole lot of noise.

Hannah Simon has raced ultras in four different continents, but you'd be wrong to assume she is only focused on racing.  She also enjoys strapping gear on her bike and riding through new landscapes.  This year she chose to combine them all by riding to the start line of three seperate events across Europe. I enjoyed exploring her experience as a photo journalist and how she blends her desire to see the landscapes with the competitiveness it takes to race through them as well.Her racing pedigree speaks for itself, she has successfully completed  the Triple Crown (Arizona Trail, Tour Divide and Colorado Trail) as well as the Triple Nelson (all three mountain races, Atlas, Silk Road and Hellenic).  In 2024 she finished as first woman across the line at the Silk Road Mountain Race, which required her to ride on a pedal spindle for over 400kms due to a mechanical.But did you know she only learnt how to ride a bike so that she would be able to go horse riding? That her favourite riding food is humous from Lidl and that she enjoyed being humbled by the weather and terrain in Scotland's highlands during the Highland Trail 550?Be sure to follow Hannah's future adventures via her instagram - @HannahSimon_ Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

Well, she just went ahead and did it. Anna has just finished El Piri, an unsupported 800km race through the Spanish Pyrenees (with 20,000m of climbing no less), and she's sent through a full debrief.TL;DR: you're never going to feel ready, you're more capable than you think, and the only way to find that out is to go anyway.Follow along with Anna's future adventures via her instagram @annaruddiman Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

Belgium bikepacker Jimmy Vervoort shares his awesome journey riding from Alaska to New York City. This was a trip split into two parts with the first starting in the middle of winter which made for some very cold riding days in Alaska.  One of the golden rules of bike travel is being adaptable, so Jimmy changed up his route, flew to Vancouver and then cycled south down the Pacific Coast trail. When he ran out of funds he flew back to Belgium worked and saved up to restart the journey this time in Louisiana. Eventually he'd ride all the way to New York incorporating sections of the Arizona Trail and Colorado Trail, where he admits there is some 'unfinished business' to take on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route in the future. You can follow Jimmy's future adventures via his instagram @Jimmy_Two_Wheels Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

Eines DER Themen überhaupt ist weiterhin Gravel – und inzwischen hat sich die Trend-Kategorie ziemlich fein ausdifferenziert. Besonders im Fokus steht aktuell die Gravel Race-Disziplin, die auch bei den internationalen Rennen immer populärer wird. Entsprechend groß ist mittlerweile das Angebot an richtig schnellen Gravel Race-Bikes, die mit Abenteuer-Boliden, Bike Packing und Co. abgesehen vom Drop Bar und der Stollenbereifung nicht mehr wahnsinnig viel gemein haben. Mitunter ist die Schnittmenge zu XC-Bikes sogar größer und die gegenseitigen Einflüsse sind kaum von der Hand zu weisen.  In der heutigen Episode nehmen wir euch also mit und geben euch einen ausführlichen Einblick in unseren Gravel Race-Vergleichstest, der aktuell auf unserer Partner-Plattform Rennrad-News.de läuft. Getestet haben wir dort sieben extrem spannende Gravel Race-Bikes, die leistungs- wie preistechnisch definitiv in der Champions League zu Hause sind. Harry aus der Rennrad-News-Redaktion bespricht mit gemeinsam mit Moritz den Aufbau des Gravel-Race-Tests und gemeinsam geben wir einen ersten Vorgeschmack, welche Räder uns möglicherweise ganz besonders begeistert haben …

Wir melden uns „kurz“ aus dem Sommerloch? Ingo entdeckt dabei nach rund 25 Jahren Fahrradfahren ein erstaunliches Detail an seinen Laufrädern. André wollte eigentlich zur Tour de France – und landete dann doch in Schweden. Ingo war dagegen mit einem ganz besonderen Rad im Allgäu unterwegs: dem Curve Big Kev V2. Ein Titan-Gravelbike mit 60-mm-Reifen, kurzem Vorbau und erstaunlich viel Tempo. Warum sich das Big Kev trotz dicker Reifen nicht wie ein Trecker fährt, weshalb 700C für solche Räder eine andere Liga ist und warum das Rad bergab so viel Vertrauen gibt, besprechen wir ausführlich. Dazu schauen wir auf die neuen FFWD RAW PACE Gravel-Laufräder mit Carbon-Speichen und CeramicSpeed-Lagern. Leicht, steif und trotzdem komfortabel – aber wie werden Carbon-Speichen eigentlich eingespeicht, warum unterscheiden sich Antriebs- und Bremsseite und muss man Angst vor Defekten haben? Ingo entdeckt dabei nach rund 25 Jahren Fahrradfahren ein erstaunliches Detail an seinen Laufrädern. Natürlich sprechen wir auch über die Tour de France: über einen scheinbar unangreifbaren Tadej Pogačar, die Frage, ob absolute Dominanz langweilig oder faszinierend ist, und die Fahrer hinter dem Gesamtklassement. Besonders hängen geblieben sind Mathieu van der Poels unglaubliches Finale in Paris, die Ausreißer, Sprinter und Arbeiter der Tour – und eine Streckenplanung, die aus dem Rennen inzwischen weit mehr macht als eine Abfolge aus Sprint-, Übergangs- und Bergetappen. Auch Schlaf und Regeneration spielen bei einer Grand Tour eine größere Rolle, als man zunächst denkt: wechselnde Hotels, mobile Kühlsysteme für Matratzen und nächtliche Dopingkontrollen gehören ebenso zum Tour-Alltag wie Training und Ernährung. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick voraus auf die Tour de France Femmes. Der kleine Game Changer der Sendung ist diesmal eine Trinkflasche: Bivo kombiniert Edelstahl mit einem erstaunlich schnellen Gravity Flow und einer Form, die sicher im normalen Flaschenhalter sitzt. Es gibt sie klassisch mit 750 ml oder isoliert mit rund 600 ml – spannend für Bikepacking, heiße Sommertage und warme Getränke im Winter. ## BLACKROLL RECOVERY PILLOW ## Code: ENJOY10 Damit gibt es 10% auf alle nicht reduzierten Produkte im deutschen und schweizer Onlineshop! https://blackroll.com/de/products/blackroll-recovery-pillow?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=recovery_pillow&utm_term=enjoyyourbike&utm_content=audio&voucher=ENJOY10 ## LINKS ZU PRODUKTEN & THEMEN ## Alle Links zur Sendung FFWD RAW Pace Laufräder: https://www.enjoyyourbike.com/ffwd-raw-pace-carbon-laufradsatz-48-mm-2026-164033386?number=164033386 Big Kev 2.0: https://www.enjoyyourbike.com/curve-big-kev-v2-frameset-164033091?number=164033091 Edelstahltrinkflaschen (in ca. 1-2 Wochen lieferbar):

 We often set out on these big adventures with a picture in our heads of what we're going to get from them. The reality is that they almost never deliver that thing. Instead, they hand us something else entirely... and that's exactly what makes them worth doing. Hannah Glatter rode the brand new Great Plains Gravel Route this summer, travelling 3,000 miles from the Texas desert to the Canadian border, through the states people love to write off as flyover. She covered around 100 miles a day for 36 days — and before this, she'd never bikepacked more than a few days at a time. In this episode of Detours we talk about choosing community over going it alone, letting go of who you think you should be as an adventurer, learning to be proud of our accomplishments for the genuine feats they are, and building a life you love so much you don't need to escape from it.

What does it take to win an ultra-distance bikepacking race and then run 192 kilometres across the Balkans three days later? Dilara Tuna is a Belgian adventurer who moves as comfortably on foot as she does on two wheels. In 2026 she took the women's win at the Trans Balkan Race, riding on women's record pace for much of it, before heading straight out to run the Peaks of the Balkans trail through Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo.  In this episode of Detours, we talk about what running and cycling each teach you about the other, why the women's field in ultra running feels years ahead of bikepacking, and the voice that told her for years she was "too slow" to sleep — and how working with a coach helped her finally rest, race smarter, and go faster because of it. We also get into racing Silk Road in a pair with a man she'd met days earlier, the thunderstorm that cost her the record, the stray dog that followed her for five hours, and the problem with chocolate in a heatwave.
