Ultra Cycling for the Experience: Claire Stevens
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the whole point of racing ultras wasn't the race at all? Claire Stevens is a surgeon and ultra cyclist who rides for the experience of pure presence in wild places.
She has lined up for events such as the Indian Pacific Wheel Race, Silk Road Mountain Race, Race to the Rock, Rhino Run and GB Duro.
We get into what happens to your senses when you push into the night, what it actually feels like to cycle in the huge mountain landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, the flooded river crossing at Race to the Rock that nearly went very badly and the experience of rolling into Uluru at sunrise.
There is also a genuinely wonderful amount of time talking about birds.
