Back to EpisodesAirlifted Mid-Race: River Rescue and Ultra Cycling Safety with Robbie Danger Webb
Description
A few weeks ago Robbie was 500 kilometres into the Monaro Cloudride, a thousand-kilometre ultra race through the Australian high country, when a night-time Snowy River crossing went very wrong.
They ended up stranded on a tiny island in the middle of the river with their bike, waiting for a rescue helicopter to winch them out.
Robbie shares their experiences of this event including he decision to cross at night, what happens when fast water takes you down, the hours of calm problem-solving from a very small island, and what every bike adventurer should know about calling for help without shame.
Since recording, I'm glad to say Robbie has been reunited with their bike, and Guinness World Records has officially confirmed their record as the first openly trans person to circumnavigate the globe by bike. What a legend!
Listen to the first episode with Robbie about their world record ride.
