  • Going to the Dogs: Steven Cuthbertson’s Solo Bike Ride Across Europe
    Dec 23 2025

    Guest Steven Cuthbertson takes us on a ride from Romania to the UK. He shares the story of a 1,700 mile solo bike ride across Europe, ridden in support of a dog rescue charity that helped re-home his Romanian Shepherd dog, Stella.

    Steve’s journey begins in Romania, at the very kennels where Stella once lived, before heading west through Hungary, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and finally back to the UK. Along the way, he follows parts of the EuroVelo network, adapts his route when plans change, and discovers just how important flexibility can be on a long ride.

    You can read about the full adventure in Steven's book - Going to the Dogs

  • Cycling from Mongolia to the UK: Claire Wyatt on Fear, Freedom, and Finishing a Dream (Part 1)
    Dec 20 2025

    Claire Wyatt shares what it was like to be Cycling solo from Mongolia all the way back home to the UK

    We also candidly discuss the reality of life on the road beyond the highlight reels. Riding through torrential rain for days. Camping in flooded fields. Battling extreme cold in Mongolia and brutal heat across Europe. Facing fear, self doubt, and the weight of other people’s worries. And learning to enjoy the hard moments just as much as the good ones.

    We cover:

    • What it felt like to leave Mongolia and ride into remote wilderness
    • The reality of bad days on long bike journeys
    • Riding through extreme weather and harsh conditions
    • Managing fear and other people’s concerns as a solo woman
    • Acts of kindness that kept Claire moving forward
    • Route decisions from Central Asia through Europe
    • A last minute decision to cycle across the Pamirs
    • The mental shift that happens once you finish a long-held dream
    • Post-adventure blues and the power of micro adventures
    • Why nature and solitude matter so much after coming home
