    THE FOUNDER'S STORY - Special Guest - Sven Thiele, Hotchillee Cycling

    “From the famous cols of the Grand Tours, hitting the Roubaix cobbles, exploring the Atlas Mountains, to riding through game farms in South Africa, we’ve been on some jaw dropping adventures.” This is nice overview of Hotchillee for many reasons, which we explore in this latest G!RO Podcast! Podcast host Jordan Addison, sits down with Hotchillee Founder Sven Thiele to explore the beginnings of Hotchillee, and its pioneering approach to cycling events & community. From its first London to Paris event in the early 2000s, to hosting Cycle Races & Tours all over the world, Sven shares his part in the Hotchillee journey, and not straying too far from what it is all about… People & Community. We also get a look into the struggles and triumphs of running a business in the Cycling Industry, and the impacts the Covid had the business… an events business that could not run events! But this period of time proved to be the most pivotal and positive time in Hotchillee’s journey, paving the way for an exciting future! A really interesting listen from founder to founder.
