This is part two of our two part episode on VIA Race, a new 4000 km self-supported bikepacking race set to kick- off this July from Southern Spain. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, I do suggest you do that as this is a continuation of our chat with Ingeborg and Ian, the organizers of VIA Race. Check it out HERE

In part two we discuss the evolution of ultra-cycling, the role of technology, the rules, and linked to the rules, the importance of transparency when it comes to a fair & safe adventure. 

We also chat about who has signed up for Chapter 1 of the race and in addition to Niel sharing his prep and routing choices, Part also feature the voices of some of those participating. Thank you to Saz, Olly & Ben:
