• Scott Bowden on his Crossing Tasmania FKT attempt

  Scott Bowden set out two weeks ago to tackle a 580km route across Tasmania. His goal was to beat Payson’s FKT from 2021, but most importantly, he just wanted to finish. With 11,000 meters of elevation, multiple river crossings, all types of weather, and punishing terrain, the route is brutal to say the least, and when Scott found himself struggling to keep his body temperature, he thought about pulling the plug. In the end, he did finish, and he joins Payson to swap war stories. Before discussing the ride, however, they talk about how Scott got there in the first place. He began his cycling career in XC, and even competed in the Olympics in 2016. After transitioning to pro road racing in Europe, however, his career was cut short by several factors caused by the pandemic. After moving back home to Tassie, he started a new chapter, both on the bike and off. This episode is brought to you by MAAP, TrainingPeaks, and Osprey. Watch Payson's new film Crossings: New Zealand here.Watch Crossing Tasmania here. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: [email protected]

  With the inaugural edition of Gravel Burn in the rearview mirror, Payson sits down with Bradyn Lange for an overall recap.

He talks about his long-standing involvement with the event and his unique perspective on how it unfolded. This episode was brought to you by TrainingPeaks.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: [email protected]

• Gravel Burn stage 6 recap with Hayley Preen

  Stage 6 of Gravel Burn did not go according to plan. Strong winds led to treacherous conditions, and after Swiss rider Andri Frischknecht suffered a crash due to high crosswinds, the 144-kilometre stage was neutralised. To recap the day, Payson is joined by South African rider Hayley Preen, who is currently sitting in third place in the GC. They talk about the weather out on course, what it was like to slow roll the rest of the stage after the decision was made to neutralise it, and what they’re anticipating for tomorrow’s seventh and final stage. This episode was made possible by TrainingPeaks. Listen all the way to the end to hear some of Hayley's numbers from the race so far.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: [email protected]
