Time for something a little different this month. Here comes an interview with Owen Williams, about his bikepacking trip around the mega classic Tour de Mont Blanc.
It’s the first time trying something like this – so please forgive any of the rough edges!
Check out the pics, and dip in to our mini podcasts along the way.
