From dropping out of high school to go mountain climbing to becoming a world-class professional cyclist, Svein Tuft's journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, hear how a simple need for cheap transportation to climbing spots led Svein to weld his own bike trailer, tour the backcountry of British Columbia with his dog, and accidentally build the foundation for a stunning athletic career. Svein shares incredible stories from his early days of rugged, off-grid touring to competing in the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia. He offers a refreshingly candid perspective on the pro cycling world and how he ultimately left European racing behind and returned to his adventure-seeking roots. If you are eager to hear about a man who takes unconventional paths (less paved), this episode is for you.

Svein's new book, We Will Never Be Here Again: Adventures in cycling from the wilderness to the Tour de France, is available on Amazon and other selected retailers.
