In this episode Emily Childs of Attacus asks me many of the frequently asked questions for the 107TDF challenge. 

Hopefully this helps to answer some of the questions involved with the planning and logistics of such a big challenge starting on the 29th August 2020.

In this episode I chat with Zoë Watkiss, Co-Founder of SunGod who make the awesome eyewear that I use. SunGod started originally on Indiegogo in 2013 and have grown from strength to strength, specialising in casual eyewear, ski goggles and cycling shades too having recently released the Pace Series. Some great topics come up including how dam good Ovaltine is.

Red Walters, a proper determined young chap delayed going to university to get into cycling. He started off racing for his club and got snapped up to race for Vitus Pro Cycling. Now competing with BCN- The Black Cyclists Network, we chat all about how it's been not being able to race when all Red wants to do is race day in, day out. Loved chatting dude. Make sure you give him a follow: https://www.instagram.com/the_redster/

I've had the pleasure of working with young Cam on and off now for a few years. Young being the key here. I am always forgetting how young Cam is and thus how old I am now haha! Cam is a supremely talented bike rider, especially in cyclocross, racing with the Trinity Race Team. Make sure you give him a follow on social media. He's certainly one to watch!

I first met Nick at the end of cycling across Australia and we instantly got on like a house on fire. Nick is the Co-Founder of Velokicks and a podiatrist. He also is an absolute hitter of a racer, for TTs and road, racing with Black Sheep Baum Racing. An absolute pleasure to chat to this legend.

How to race a 24 hour race. Here's a bit of an insight from me on some rambles and thoughts from my experiences. I hope you enjoy and find it useful!

This one was pretty darn awesome. Phil White is someone I have admired from afar for years. His name, is what you may have seen on some older Cervélo frames on the rear stay. Phil Co-Founded Cervélo and now heads up 4iiii. Truly one of the pioneers of cycling in the modern era. Enjoy!

Another geeky and thoroughly interesting one, it was an absolute pleasure to talk to Ruben Broekhuizen, product designer over at Lazer. Lazer, who kindly support me with keeping my head safe on the road have now been going for over 100 years! Ruben and I chat about helmet design, grand tours and the future of cycling in the world. I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I hope you do too!

Always good to catch up with the legend that is Francis Cade, one of my closest mates who I cycled across Australia with. We chat about that, a lot here.
