S9 Ep132: Life in the Peloton – A Swedish odyssey

<div>It's a bit of a different episode of Life in the Peloton this week because instead of chatting to someone in the world of professional cycling, I decided to document a bikepacking ride I went on a few weeks ago.<br> <br> As many of you will know, my team – EF Education-Nippo – has embraced all sorts of cycling events in the past couple of years. You might have followed Lachlan Morton's Alternative Tour de France, for example.<br> <br> My adventure in Sweden came about partly thanks to our team's helmet and glasses sponsor POC. They heard I was interested in taking on a different sort of challenge and they suggested an self-supported event that takes riders the length of Sweden. It's called the Sverigetempot, a road ride of more than 2,000 kilometres from Riksgränsen in the north to Smygehuk in the south. I joined up with Magnus and Damien for the ride, which took us seven days, and I documented the journey along the way, so I hope you enjoy listening to our adventures.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> Mitch<br> <br> <strong>EPISODE SPONSOR</strong><br> This episode is sponsored by NordVPN.
