Fancy taking on the Baja Divide? A bikepacking tour around Cuba or perhaps a ride along the Camino de Santiago? Well then you'll enjoy this chat with guest May Tettero, who has discovered how energising the world of off-road bikepacking can be.
We discuss May's journey from moving to Canada at age 13 and losing her cycling freedom, to finding it again decades later. May shares what her first bikepacking experiences touring through Cuba were like, how she chose to bikepack the Camino de Santiago to process grief, and how she has come to tackling challenging routes like the Baja Divide.
We also speak about overcoming ageism in bike packing, the therapeutic benefits of cycling, and how it's helped her to embrace the highs and lows of life.
May has previously shared one day of her trip before for a mini episode of the podcast and you can listen to it here:

This is part 2 of my interview with Jude Kriwald and goes into detail on his most recent bicycle adventure through West Africa. Jude spent 3 months touring off the beaten path in West Africa, a tour which came over ten years since his last big adventure where he cycled from England to India. Jude had been transfixed on the notion of what it would be like to be completely in the middle of a jungle in Liberia and this indeed was the best way to find out.
He recalled some captivating details from this journey, from camping at the base of a huge waterfall, to spending 7 days deep in the Liberian Jungle - 3 of those totally alone barely able to travel more than 10 kms a day.

Charlie Walker's adventures have taken him to the most remote and challenging places in the world. During this episode he shares stories from his epic 43,000-mile cycle tour, spanning across Europe, Asia, and Africa. But his adventures are not just taken on a bike - he has also trekked across Papua New Guinea, hiked in the Siberian Arctic, paddled down a tributary of the Congo River and recently cycled (or hike a biked!) through the Gola Rainforest in West Africa.
These adventures haven't all been smooth sailing. Indeed, Charlie has faced moments of extreme hardship, including an imprisonment in a Siberian detention centre in 2022 - within weeks of Russia invading Ukraine.
Charlie also reflects on the awe-inspiring moments he's been lucky to have due to his adventures - enjoying times of pure solitude and the feelings of being alone in a vast and empty landscape. We also talk about the changing landscape of travel brought on by technology, and how much things have changed since he first started taking long distance adventures.
You can follow Charlie via his instagram account - @cwexplore and his website - www.cwexplore.com where you can also purchase his books which I highly recommend!!

This episode is part 2 sharing guest Phill Hargreaves story and experiences from his three year Cycle Tour taken in 1984. You can listen to Part 1 here.
This journey saw Phill leave home in the UK destination Australia. He left as a group of three, in Turkey his group became two and then from Nepal he continued the journey solo. This conversation picks up that journey from Nepal as Phill made his way through Asia to Australia.
Some incredible stories were shared for this leg of the journey by Phill including travelling through Myanmar, Island hopping in Indonesia - and then a wild work experience encounter on a fishing trawler when he finally reached Australia.
After saving money Phill then decided to cycle back to the UK. He travelled through Australia and NZ before then heading home via China and Tibet. He'd catch the Trans-Siberian express to Germany and then cycled the rest of the journey. All up returning almost 3 years after setting off.
Phill's son Jamie is currently re-tracing this very journey Phill took and you can listen to the interview I had with him here. Jamie Hargreaves Episode
Be sure to also keep an eye out for his other son Olly who is now about to take his own journey from the UK to Singapore - his instagram is here: @sagas.of_olly.hargreaves
