Lachlan Morton is at it again with another ultra-endurance adventure, but could this be a warm-up for something even bigger? We’re talking a possible round-the-world record attempt! So, we catch up with the current record holder, Mark Beaumont to find out what he thinks about Lachlan’s current exploits, his potential route AND ultimately whether he thinks Lachlan's got a chance of clinching the record!

Plus, Si & Dan compare Peter Sagan to Ollie Bridgewood (as one does), hear why Si thinks cyclists would ruin parkrun, and wonder if Instagram really knows what the most beautiful bike rides in the world are.
