    Kickstarting Quad Lock with Rob Ward

    Join me as I talked to Rob Ward from Quad Lock about life starting a product that is now shipping around the world and firmly established within the cycling market. How did he grow this product from just a kickstarter campaign to now having a worldwide distribution within around five years. Rob shares his passion for growing The Quad Lock business into all at different product expansions plus the challenges of being an entrepreneur in the space that constantly requires you to move forward and innovate to stay ahead. How did they create this product? How did they think about it? and how did they make sure it would work? Plus Rob gives us his thoughts on pushing ourselves with an idea on how to move forward and gain momentum. I’m now in Perth, having cycled from Sydney to Perth over the last few months, taking my time and enjoying the company of the welcoming people along the way. I’ll be sharing that story in the next episode of the podcast. checkout the shownotes http://www.pedalingpodcast.com/podcast/quadlock  Starting my year long bikepacking cycling journey from Sydney all the way back to London.

    DotWatcher.cc with Editor Grace Lambert-Smith

    Grace, from DotWatcher.cc, talks with me about the ultra racing scene, it’s growth, the difference between bikepacking and touring and the furore that surrounded Lael Wilcox Tour Divide participation. Who is Grace Lambert-Smith? Grace is the kind of rider who says she hates hills yet constantly finds herself at the top of them having created a route she thought was benign. No stranger to long-distance, you'll find her taking part in Audax UK events, cycle-touring around Europe and venturing around her local hills in the Peak District, UK. Her 2019 goal is to ride Paris-Brest-Paris. DotWatcher is the home for the best insight, analysis, and conversation from around the bikepacking community, published alongside everything needed to follow the action of the world’s biggest races.

    Hayden tackles Silk Road Mountain Race

    On my visit to Melbourne I met up with Hayden, Brand Manager at The Pedla, to talk about this huge bikepacking race he is about to compete in. He shares all his insights before going into a race that needs preparation well beyond a few fitness drills. This is absolute meticulous planning, from the Terra Nova custom sleeping bag to training for uphill laden bikepacking workouts!  Show Notes: https://pedalingpodcast.com/podcast/hayden-talks-bikepacking-silk-road-race The Silk Road Mountain Race is a fixed route, unsupported, single-stage cycling race through the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The clock does not stop and there are no prizes. It follows gravel, single and double track and old soviet roads that have long been forgotten and fallen into disrepair. There is very little tarmac. There is some walking, and at times there is great distances between resupply points..  www.silkroadmountainrace.cc Starting my year long bikepacking cycling journey from Sydney all the way back to London.

People like to play it safe when deciding what to wear, but Greg and Stevan set out to start something different. I sat down in Sydney to catch up with the pair that first set out creating something different. They share their ideas on the future, how they manage growing and also maintaining a strong connection with the community.

    Sydney to Canberra - Day 1 - 3 Bikepacking

    When I started the trip from Sydney, I set out with an open mind as to what I should expect. WIth that, I also put together a series of audio to document the trip. This is a first for me and hope I’m able to share this documentation as I go. It’s more of a personal insight into my journey that has a lot of highs and lows.

    BigBikeTripNZ: Bali to London

    Freddy, Arthur and Sean share their big bike trip taking them from Bali all the way to London. With a mission to raise money for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand they set a target of $1 per kilometre, which is over 23,000km by the way. They endured a life on the road they had been dreaming of for over 10 years. At the same time, there was another part of the trip that had another purpose. With Sean shooting the whole trip with his insane photographic ability, Freddy making a documenting through his journal and Sean piloting the drone, there was another goal.

    Sami Sauri - Stories Through a Viewfinder

    When I first decided to take on this trip, cycling all the way home, I wanted to find a way to showcase the trip, to create memories and inspire other people to do the same thing. As part of the creative side of the trip, I wanted to reach out to likeminded cyclists out there, crafting and creating stories on their journey. Sami gave me an insight to storytelling that I hadn’t thought of, and has since inspired loads of creative ideas. It’s interesting to hear her perspective on visualising the work she does day to day. Listen to Sami Sauri share her experiences, how she got to where she is and how she finds ways to share herself and work with the world. http://www.thereabouts.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/samisauri https://www.samisauri.com/ Pedaling Podcast is a show bought to you from Australia as I begin my cycle back home to Britain. I’ll be Pedaling 20,000km over a year with a mission to discover cycling stories across the world. I'm finding my own journey at the same time, understanding what drives me to cycle by asking others the same question.  Follow online at www.pedalingpodcast.com http://www.instagram.com/pedalingpodcast
