Discovering Bikepacking ,the Baja Divide and Why Age is No Barrier for Adventure: May Tettero

Fancy taking on the Baja Divide? A bikepacking tour around Cuba or perhaps a ride along the Camino de Santiago? Well then you'll enjoy this chat with guest May Tettero, who has discovered how energising the world of off-road bikepacking can be.  

We discuss May's journey from moving to Canada at age 13 and losing her cycling freedom, to finding it again decades later.  May shares what her first bikepacking experiences touring through Cuba were like, how she chose to bikepack the Camino de Santiago to process grief, and how she has come to tackling challenging routes like the Baja Divide. 

We also speak about overcoming ageism in bike packing, the therapeutic benefits of cycling, and how it's helped her to embrace the highs and lows of life.

May has previously shared one day of her trip before for a mini episode of the podcast and you can listen to it here:
