When her van broke down in Crete, Anne Kress decided not to book a  flight to get back home to Germany. Instead, she grabbed her 20-year-old mountain bike and camping gear, then pedalled 3,300km home through 11 countries.

Listen if: You love spontaneous adventures, dream about bikepacking the Balkans, or want proof that bike adventures can start with small, imperfect gear.

The story in a nutshell:
Anne was midway through a climbing trip in Crete when her camper van broke down in the middle of nowhere. With Easter shutdown looming, not wanting to take a flight home, and stranded in the what felt like the 'middle of nowhere', she decided to ride it her old mountain bike all the way back to Germany. Not via the “boring” coastal route, but off-road through the newly created Trans Dinarica route through the Balkans. All up she cycled over 3,300 km, with a hefty 63,000 meters of climbing as well. 

Key takeaways:

• Listen to your inner voice: The wild idea in your head might be the one that changes everything.
• Start with what you’ve got: You don’t need a shiny gravel bike to take on an adventure. Anne rode her third-hand, 20 year old mountain bike
• Open yourself to people: Human connections are the true highlights for Anne from this adventure. 

Golden quote: “I listened to my intuition… and suddenly I had the idea: I could ride home.”

What's it like to combine a passion for food with that of cycle touring? Our guest Felicity Cloake is an award-winning food writer and author. She shares how she fell in love with cycle touring and how it's become the perfect vehicle (literally!) for combining food, travel, and storytelling.

We chat through her three major bike touring adventures: discovering the best pastries and regional cuisine through France, rating fry-ups across the UK, and her latest bike adventure which involved cycling across the United States coast-to-coast, in search of iconic (and surprising) American eats.

We also chat about Felicity's recently released book, Peach Street to Lobster Lane: Coast to Coast in Search of Real American Cuisine.
