We were randomly contacted a couple of days ago to do an interview with Simon Mercep on the Afternoon programme on Radio New Zealand.
We’ve only been going for just over a month but I tried to big-up cycle touring as much as I could.
Our sixth episode comes from Saint Jean Pied-de-Port in France as we prepare to head across Spain roughly following the Camino de Santiago. This time we talk about cycling in south west France, our budget for the first month and chocolate!
Here’s our latest podcast on the banks of the River Dordogne in Bergerac. This week we talk about our impressions of French culture, we finally start drinking some wine and we discuss our underwear.

Welcome to episode 4 of the How Are You? Where Are You? podcast brought to you from a roadside lay-by in a forest somewhere between Troyes and Auxerre in France.
Here’s episode 3 of the How are you? Where are you? podcast, recorded from where three states collide right at the intersection of the French, German and Dutch borders.
One thing I have learned in the first week of our journey is that pretty much anyone can be a cycle tourist.
I’ve heard the likes of cycle touring blogger Tom Allen say you don’t have to be fit to do a tour, but I never really believed him.
My experience of cycling so far has been as a commuter where no training is required and as a sportive rider. When preparing for sportive events you need to train for endurance, stamina and speed (if you are a show-off) and I’ve also learned nutrition is important to last an eight hour day in the saddle.
The needle just kept turning
In breaking news this hour…we are actually doing this cycle trip thing. We left from London on April 4th and recorded the second episode of our podcast soon after we boarded the ferry at Harwich bound for the Netherlands.
As always your tips and feedback are welcome.
Our first attempt at a podcast, hopefully we get better on the technical side as we go along. This was recorded a couple of weeks ago. Tips and feedback welcome!
