Bikepacking the Tour de France : Rory Mansfield & Ben Cannell

In this episode I speak with Rory Mansfield and Ben Cannell, two cyclists from the UK who are about to embark on their own cycling challenge which they have named Les Lanternes Rouges.  This July they will be looking to cycle the entire Tour de France 2023 route, including the stage transfers, fully self-supported.  I spoke to them about how an idea conjured up almost ten years ago, is now about to come to life.  What their challenge involves, and what they are most looking forward to on their own 'lap of France'.  You can follow along with Rory and Ben's challenge via the links below:Instagram Account - @Les_Lanternes_Rouges Tracking and route: https://linktr.ee/les_lanternes_rouges To find out more about their Charity Fundraiser head to: Props BristolEnjoying listening to Seek Travel Ride?  Then be sure to follow the show in your podcast player - to be notified when new episodes are released.  Also follow us on Social Media:Instagram - @SeekTravelRideTwitter -  @BellaCycling Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I’m an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:👉  CycPlus– ePumps (enter code STR for 5% off!)👉 Zorali 👉 Helinox 👉 Ombraz Follow us on Social Media!Instagram - @SeekTravelRideFacebook - Seek Travel RideYouTube - @SeekTravelRideSeek Travel Ride NewsletterLeave me a voicemail message Seek Travel Ride Music Playlist available now on both Spotify or Apple Music
