Sam Shaw joins us this week to discuss his incredible ride from Auckland to Wellington on Monday where he shattered the fastest known time record by over an hour! Its a deep dive into why, how, who and what went into making this a reality, plus an extra deep dive into the technique of not having to get off your bike for a toilet stop.

We also finally get around to delivering the OTB listener awards for 2026, as voted by you guys!

Thats us for 2026 and what a year its been, thanks to everyone who has given it a listen, we'll be back for more in 2026!
