In this episode guest Harriet Gruen shares what it takes to go from novice cycle tourer to an ultra cycling record-breaker.
In 2022 she set off from London to ride 10,000 km to Central Asia. She'd barely ridden much at all and so she named the trip The Unlikely Adventure.
Along the way she fell in love with cycling and by the time she returned back to London 5 months later, she turned her mind to ultra-distance racing.
She's since lined up at events such as Dales Divide, Trans Pyrenees and Badlands, more recently she has et the fastest known female time on the Three Peaks by Bike Challenge, climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon while cycling the 700 km between them.
