Cyclist and Paris 2024 Olympic Silver medalist Nicole Shields came up with the idea and has managed to convince her friend, Olympic kayaker Hamish Legarth, to come with her. But unlike the high performance sports world they're used to, there will be no support crew in tow - with the pair carrying everything they need for the at least two-month adventure on them. Nicole and Hamish spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Coach Chris interviews Thomas Henson, a personal injury attorney specializing in catastrophic injuries and avid cyclist, who shares critical insurance and safety information that can protect cyclists and all active individuals on the roads.We discuss: • Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) is vital but often overlooked insurance that protects you beyond just car accidents• UM/UIM coverage follows you when cycling, running, or even walking, and extends to family members in your household• North Carolina's minimum required auto insurance ($30,000) is often insufficient to cover medical expenses from even moderate injuries• Catastrophic cycling injuries can result in medical expenses reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars• Detailed documentation after a cycling accident is crucial, including medical attention, police reports, witness information, and photographs• North Carolina's contributory negligence law means cyclists could recover nothing if found even 1% at fault for an accident• Safety practices like wearing helmets, using lights, and avoiding confrontational behavior protect you physically and legally• Keep detailed records of all cycling equipment purchases and upgrades to ensure proper valuation after an accident• GoPro cameras can provide valuable evidence in cycling accidents• Always seek proper medical attention after an accident, particularly for head injuries which should be evaluated by concussion specialists.

This week James and Will are joined by Stephen Roche, who in 1987 became only the second rider in history to win the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and World Championships in one season, aka the Triple Crown (pub fact: the other was Eddy Merckx in 1972, then Tadej Pogačar joined them in 2024).In this episode Stephen talks us through this incredible season, from the rollercoaster Giro that had him fearing for his safety, to crossing the line first in Austria to cap a historic season. Stephen also regales us with tales of his early years at notorious French amateur club ABCC; falling out with team bosses and sponsors; proving the doubters wrong; crashing and injury; and what he makes of the sport today.This July, Stephen will be riding three stages of the Tour de France as part of the Tour 21 venture, raising money for Cure Leukaemia along the way, a charity close to Stephen's heart after his son Florian was diagnosed with the disease aged just seven.

Florian Vermeersch is a Belgian cyclist with some very impressive palmares to his name. 2nd place in Paris-Roubaix as a 22 year old, a pair of silver medals at the UCI gravel world championships, a handful of wins, a whole bunch of podiums, not to mention he's often the right hand man to Tadej Pogacar in plenty of races on the UAE Emirates squad. This was a really fun conversation to learn more behind the scenes with Florian on his ride through the World Tour ranks.

Drew talks about his encounters with cyclists as a pedestrian and a near collision that happened today.
This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some of the usual chit-chat, they discuss; 'Chocco' (survey comp. winner) coming to pick up sticks in Lorne, the AFLs sale of Waverley Park, AFL State of Origin (again), the NBA Finals, Tour de France predictions, 'CHAT-BT' and plenty more. Joining them on the mic this week is Australia's greatest and most decorated cyclist of all-time, Cadel Evans. Simply put, Cadel epitomises the unrelenting Aussie grit and grind character that so many world class Australian athletes are known for. His path to success was met with countless obstacles and setbacks, but through extreme determination, attention to the details and immense self-belief, he 'climbed the mountain', so to speak on countless occasions. His 20 year career on the bike (both Mountain and Road) is something to behold, from the youngest winner of a MTB World Cup race to the oldest post-war winner of the Tour de France (1 of 3 non-Europeans), he's filled his trophy cabinet: UCI World Race Champion, 4x Olympian, 2x World MTB Champ., 2x Tour de France Runner-Up and I can go on, but above all else, Cadel has an immense level of respect and admiration from his peers and is a true Australian treasure. He was counted out and overlooked on numerous occasions and competed in one of cycling's darkest periods, but he always stayed his course and remained a man of extreme integrity and commendable willpower. We loved this chat with Cadel and we hope you do as well!

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach. Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events. In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time. Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges. Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.

In May 2025, Sarah Ruggins made history.She became the fastest person to cycle from John O'Groats to Land's End and back, covering the 1,677-mile route in an astonishing 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes.Sarah didn't just smash the women's record - she claimed the outright record.But what makes her achievement all the more extraordinary is everything she had to overcome to get there.Just over two years earlier, she had barely ridden a bike. Before that, she spent years recovering from a debilitating illness that stripped her of her physical strength and sense of identity. And yet, through grit, precision, and an unshakeable mindset, she transformed herself from a complete novice into one of the most elite endurance cyclists in the world.This episode is about more than athletic achievement, it's a story of what happens when you set an audacious goal, back it with discipline, and believe that setbacks are just the start of something greater.Follow Sarah: https://www.instagram.com/sarah_ruggins/Mentioned in the Podcast:The Bike Project: https://thebikeproject.co.uk/Bikes for Refugees: https://www.bikesforrefugees.scot/Support the podcast: Get a whopping 65% off your first Gousto box at: https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653Get in contact:https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcasthttps://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah

This episode is brought to you by the Insta360 GO 3S action cameraThis week, James and Will are joined by ex-pro Levi Leipheimer. Levi turned pro in 1997 and in 2000 hit the big time with US Postal, riding as a teammate of Lance Armstrong. Stints at Rabobank, Astana and Radioshack followed, during which time he won the Tour de Suisse, three Tours of California, the Dauphine and two stages of the Vuelta a España, finishing second in Spain in 2008. His last contract at QuickStep in 2012 was cut short after Levi admitted to doping during his career, his admittance of guilt and subsequent testimony playing a role in the take down of Lance Armstrong. Today Levi is open about this part of his past, and here he speaks candidly about doping, both his feelings at the time and his feelings on the subject now, both in the context of US Postal and the early 2000s and the cycling now.Today, Levi heads up the event he founded some 16 years ago, Levi's Gran Fondo amateur race and its pro-race sibling, The Growler. As the US calendar shrinks, the 220km Growler is said to be 'the hardest one-day race in North America', and the only race broadcast live in the States, this year via YouTube. Levi talks us through the importance of the Growler to the US domestic scene, from the $156,000 prize purse that helps fund poorly paid pros, to the platform it offers young talent.Interview begins at 8:13------This episode is brought to you by Insta360, the 360-degree filming action camera specialists.

In this episode, I chat with Courteney Lowe, co-founder of Fuel Goods, about her journey from professional cycling to her first marathon—and all the hard lessons learned along the way. Courteney opens up about what it was like to hit the wall at mile 18, how poor fueling nearly took her out of the race, and why that experience ended up inspiring the launch of Fuel Goods. We cover everything from the mindset shift required to move from cycling to running, to the physical challenges of pacing and gut issues, to how her relationship with running changed when she started working with a coach. Courteney also shares what fuels her now, what shoes she trusts, and how she's balancing performance goals with the long game of staying injury-free and enjoying the process. If you've ever struggled with pacing, nutrition, or motivation, this conversation is full of the real talk runners need.
