Get ready for a rip-snorter of an episode! We're back from our summer break with a massive chat with one of the most underrated cyclists on the Aussie scene, Brent Rees.
This young gun has been tearing it up, from out-sprinting the big names to win the 2023 Australian National Marathon Champs to back-to-back Oceania titles. He recently went toe-to-toe with some of the world's best at Radl Grvl in Adelaide – includine Romain Bardet – proving he's a force to be reckoned with.
In this yarn, we get the full story of Brent's incredible journey from buying a bike on a whim in 2017... to mixing it with (and beating many) of the pros.
He doesn't hold back, giving us the nuts and bolts of his training, nutrition, and the mindset that's taken him to the top. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to go from a weekend warrior to a world-class athlete, this one's for you.
What You'll Learn
Brent takes us through his meteoric rise from barely riding a bike in 2016 to racing against Tour de France podium finishers just six years later. He shares the tactical decisions, training philosophy, and sheer determination that got him there. Whether you're chasing your own breakthrough or just love a good underdog story, this episode delivers the goods.
From his first national-level mountain bike race in 2017 to his controversial National Championship win in 2023, Brent reveals the secrets behind his success. He talks about recovering on descents, fuelling with massive amounts of carbs, and the importance of tactical racing when you're not the biggest engine in the bunch. Plus, he gives some cracking advice for anyone tackling the Otway Odyssey.
