“A 30,000 km dream begins on the icy cliffs of Norway. Join Ken & Marie as they cross the continent, climb the Atlas Mountains, and discover the joy of slow travel on the road to Africa.”

Welcome to “Cape to Cape,” a two-part podcast that follows Kenneth Jørgensen and Marie Stoubæk on a once-in-a-lifetime bikepacking adventure. In 2024 over 518 days and 30 641 km, they pedalled from the icy North Cape in Norway to the sun-baked tip of South Africa—crossing Europe’s heartlands, Morocco’s Atlas ranges, the endless Sahara, and the lush Congo Basin rainforest.

In Part One, we’ll meet Ken & Marie from bikepackers.dk, uncover why they chose frugality over possessions, hear about some of their previous adventures and ride along through Europe into Morocco. 

Our journey begins at Norway’s North Cape, where biting winds and ethereal scenery set the tone. We explore their previous bikepacking exploits, dig into their planning rituals, and ride alongside as they navigate Europe’s roads—through rolling vineyards, Alpine passes, and historic hamlets—until the Sahara looms on the horizon.

In Part Two, we brave the Sahara’s sandstorms, sip palm wine under African skies, and share stories of kindness that transformed their journey.

Get ready for a story of endurance, wonder, and the simple power of two wheels.
