This is part 2 of Fergal Guihen's travel adventure from Roscommon, Ireland to Sydney, Australia. You can listen to Part 1 here. In Part 2 of his ride from Ireland to Australia, Fergal Guihen shares what it took to push through freezing nights in China, a terrifying attack and being suspected as being a spy in Iran, discovering Afghanistan, and tackling the Ha Giang loop in Vietnam. Fergal also speaks about how he has dealt with the loneliness he has felt many times on his journey and how doing what he says he is going to do like cycling to the top of Mt Bromo in Indonesia, has given him the confidence to continue his journey all the way to Sydney.  Follow Fergal's adventureon Instagram @rossi_to_aussie Donate to Fergal's fundraiser for suicide prevention Mayo Roscommon Hospice & NorthWest Stop: Other Guests mentioned during the episode:Samer AbouhamadCheck out Zorali for all your outdoor adventure needs!

Gravel bike? Adventure bike? Bikepacking rig? With a drop handlebar but wide tires, proper suspension on both ends, and geometry that makes sense for good times on dirt, the just-released Trek CheckOUT looks like it's ready for... well, just about anything, be it a quick singletrack rip or a race from Canada to the Mexican border. Will Tracy and Levy look into the CheckOUT's features, including its near-endless mounting points and the new, longer travel Rudy XL fork, and Levy shares his questionable opinion from a mountain biker's perspective.  Velo's managing editor, Will Tracy, is also grilled by Levy to find out how he became The Boss, his time working for Peloton magazine, the differences between print and online cycling media, and how watching a race as a young kid shaped the rest of his life.

// „Willst du als Hausarbeit fürs Abitur nicht eine Reportage schreiben?”, diese Frage von seinem Lehrer wusste Tobias Renggli erst gar nicht so recht einzuordnen, nahm sie dann aber dankend an und entwickelte eine verrückte Idee. Ein paar Monate später gab er 200 Seiten ab, auf denen er von seiner „Tour de Schwitz” berichtete – mit dem Rad war er in jeder Stadt der Schweiz gewesen und in jedem der 26 Kantone auf den höchsten Berg gestiegen. Dieses Projekt war der Beginn einer besonderen Abenteuer-Leidenschaft: Tobias ließ seine vielversprechende Karriere als Bergläufer sausen (immerhin als Schweizer Meister) und lebt die Bergliebe seitdem noch freier aus. Mit 18 Jahren besuchte er alle europäischen Hauptstädte mit dem Rad und stieg wieder auf alle höchsten Berge, mit 21 Jahren wiederholte er die Schweizer Gipfel-Tour für ein Filmprojekt und heute, mit 22, hat er schon die nächste Idee, obwohl er eigentlich doch studieren und an die beruflichen Perspektiven denken sollte. Warum er Abenteuer aber für viel wertvoller hält, das verrät Tobias in dieser, sehr inspirierenden Folge ... // Alle Werbepartner des FREI RAUS Podcast und aktuelle Rabatte für Hörer:innen findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus-partner // Hier kannst du den wöchentlichen Newsletter zum Podcast abonnieren: https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Outro-Song: Dull Hues by Lull (audiio.com)

When her van broke down in Crete, Anne Kress decided not to book a  flight to get back home to Germany. Instead, she grabbed her 20-year-old mountain bike and camping gear, then pedalled 3,300km home through 11 countries.Listen if: You love spontaneous adventures, dream about bikepacking the Balkans, or want proof that bike adventures can start with small, imperfect gear.The story in a nutshell: Anne was midway through a climbing trip in Crete when her camper van broke down in the middle of nowhere. With Easter shutdown looming, not wanting to take a flight home, and stranded in the what felt like the 'middle of nowhere', she decided to ride it her old mountain bike all the way back to Germany. Not via the “boring” coastal route, but off-road through the newly created Trans Dinarica route through the Balkans. All up she cycled over 3,300 km, with a hefty 63,000 meters of climbing as well. Key takeaways:Listen to your inner voice: The wild idea in your head might be the one that changes everything.Start with what you've got: You don't need a shiny gravel bike to take on an adventure. Anne rode her third-hand, 20 year old mountain bikeOpen yourself to people: Human connections are the true highlights for Anne from this adventure. Golden quote: “I listened to my intuition… and suddenly I had the idea: I could ride home.” Read more about the Trans Dinarica Cycle RouteFollow Anne on Instagram - @anneadventure.deRedWhite Apparel - Check out the most comfortable bib shorts on the market!

In ultra distance bikepack racing, women typically make up just over 10% of the starting line. In recent years, we've begun to see that number grow with a number of efforts popping up to encourage more women to take to the start line and give the sport a go. This year, 30 women will be lining up to take on the Silk Road Mountain race, which is often regarded as the pinnacle of off-road bike pack racing. They'll travel more than 1,900 kilometers across the country, into the high mountains, across rivers and valleys, and into some of the most remote and rugged destinations of Kyrgyzstan.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP I love riding my bike with my son. My boy Marlow and I head out when we can and boost around LanVegas on the bikes, and he loves it. It's great to spend time together and see the little man starting to enjoy bikes and being outdoors as much as I did when I was a kid.  But, my guests on this month's episode of Life In The Peloton take on father-and-son cycling adventures. Based over in the North of England, Rich and James Rothwell are an adventurous, off-road, ultra-cycling father and son duo who have undertaken some massive rides together.  Rich, a lifelong mountain biker, coach, and experienced ultra racer, got his son James into cycling from a young age. Still only 14 years old, James has already ticked off some absolutely huge rides on some world-renowned trails like the Highland Trail 550 and the AZT800 out in the USA.  I really wanted to chat to these guys to hear how they started riding together, what their epic adventures look like, and just how far a young talent like James will go in the world of cycling. I found it really inspiring to hear Rich's relaxed, supportive approach in helping James keep the enjoyment, and I also loved hearing how young James supports his old man out there on the trails, too!  I hope Marlow can pick up a thing or two and give me a push or a spoonful of peanut butter when I'm in a bit of a hole next time we head out on the bikes.  Guys, I hope you like this episode. To the mums and dads out there, it's a great listen if you want to get your kids into bike riding and kids, if you've ever wanted to get out on a cycling adventure with your parents, I hope this inspires you.  Cheers Mitch This episode is brought to you by our mates at Shokz – the world leaders in open-ear, bone-conduction headphones.
