The Race Ride Seek Podcast Curve

In this episode we speak to Curve Cycling’s Expedition Specialist, Gus Burrell live from Salta, Argentina. It was one week after Gus successfully led the second ever Curve expedition, this time through the remarkably diverse country in the northwestern pocket of Argentina.

 

Join us to hear about the program of bucket list adventures Gus has crafted around the world. Gus is the right man for the job having lived on his bike while travelling around the world in 2019. You’ll also hear some stories from the road, both from our recent trips and Gus’s adventures, and get an understanding of the sort of experience we’re trying to craft for our intrepid expeditioners. Don’t be surprised if a giraffe tries to seal your drink or you find yourself having a roadside picnic high in the Andes.

Join Abdullah Zeinab, Sarah Hammond and Stephen Lane as they each share their thoughts one week out from lining up against possibly the strongest start list in ultra-endurance cycling history.

In this podcast we speak to a guy who you wouldn't normally associate with off-road unsupported racing. His name is Patrick Boutellier, he is a Swiss watchmaker and lives high up in the luxury brands and corporate world. Not long after completing the 2020 Vic Divide, Adam Lana grabbed Patrick to talk about his amazing experience.The previous podcast had us speaking to Lewis Ciddor about the Vic Divide and we wanted to acknowledge that it was since run and won by Lewis himself, he completed the course in a little over 44 hours, what an amazing effort! 42 riders started the ride with about 60% finishing it and a massive congrats to all that even attempted this challenging course.

Some raced it to win, some wanted to tour it, and others wanted the pure challenge of it... Patrick took on this challenge.

The thought of loading your bike to ride around the world is a life long dream for some, for others a terrifying and overwhelming ordeal. But for Gus Burrell that is a reality. At the beginning of this year, "The Gus Wagon" stepped away from his life in the cycling industry of Melbourne Australia, packed his Curve Kevin of Steel and headed off to Japan, and onwards to Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, through to Europe, Lesotho and awaits his next leg into South America. 

We've teamed up with Jordan Addison from the G!RO Podcast to catch up with Gus on a short break here in the UK.  We hear about the remote places he has visited, the personal journey he has been on, the wonderful bike accompanying him, and of course the Bratwurst. Gus is a wonderful human, and we know you will love this one. Cheers Gus! 

So sit back, grab a brew and enjoy!
