Mark Gresser shares his experiences of trekking 6,000 km across Australia connecting the most westerly and eastern points of the country. Taking on such a challenge makes more sense when you consider Mark's previous adventure where he cycled from his home in Perth 29,000 km to Paris on a journey that lasted almost three years. I previously caught up with Mark when he had just arrived at Uluru, just under halfway through this monumental challenge. Now he fills us in on the rest of the journey....
What's the best thing about taking a bike adventure? Well I've been asking guests that very question for the last two years and today I'm sharing some of their responses, as well as from listeners in our community. The guests you will hear from have taken a myriad of adventures, some lasting for a few weeks, others for a few years. You'll notice there are some common responses from them all which and they are often linked to the feeling of feeling truly freed. Of course the kindness sho...
For episode 200 of Seek Travel Ride, I’m joined by Rebecca Gross, a listener of this show who took a year off work, left her home in Austria with her partner Javi and set off for a bike adventure hoping to get to the Pamirs in Tajikistan. Rebecca had never done any long distance bike travel prior to leaving but with a keen sense of adventure the lack of experience was no reason not to give it a go. She and Javi reached the Pamir Highway months ahead of schedule, so they kept going throu...
Vanessa Ruck and her best friend Tori have taken their e-bikes and two toddlers to Turkey, with 25 days to see how far they can ride and around 21,000 metres of climbing on the route. Follow Vanessa: The Girl On A Bike on Instagram and Facebook Donate to Vanessa and Tori’s Leukaemia UK fundraiser I also asked you to share out your worst mechanicals. I put the question out on Instagram after Rob Maclennan’s episode, and you sent through some cracking ones, like brakes giving ou...
Louann Perriere arrived in Australia with the idea she'd get a bike and use it to get to work. Instead she ended up on a huge adventure, circumnavigating the entire country. What makes this even more impressive is she had never done anything like this before. People warned her that crossing the Nullabor in summer would be too hot, so instead she waited for autumn and was surprised by just how cold things would get. She also survived one of the most intense lightning storms, stuck ...
How much do you need to know before you set off on a bike adventure? Going back through nearly 200 episodes of Seek Travel Ride, I found the answer from guests is usually a lot less than people expect. For this midweek episode I’ve pulled clips from eight guests who started out with very little idea of what they were doing. Florence Cotel taught herself to ride a bike at night in Copenhagen so nobody would see her wobbling, and went on to ride from North to South America. Paul de Tilly’s only...
Six days into a two-month ride across Central Asia, Rob MacLennan found himself driving a minibus over the mountains in Mongolia. His broken bike was strapped to the roof, there were twelve local women in the back, and the driver was having a nap in the passenger seat. It turned out to be a fair warning of what was coming. Rob first joined me on the show after riding from London to Cape Town. This time he’s back after bikepacking the ancient Silk Road through Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbe...
This week’s episode has a Eurasian lynx attacking a cycle tourist through his tent wall and three lions calling to each other around a wild camp in Tanzania, so yeah, it’s a wildlife one. It all started with an email from a previous guest, Robert Reynolds, where he shared a frightening experience when a Eurasian lynx tried to attack him in the night while he was inside his tent! It sent me back through the archives to my chat with Steph Devery, a kick-ass Aussie whose bike adventure too...
