Just Ride

When Joff Summerfield set out to ride around the globe on his handmade penny farthing in 2006, he sold absolutely everything he owned to fund the adventure – and start with a clean slate. As he set off, his whole world was packed into a small rucksack on his back and some panniers on top of his penny farthing.Joff’s story is one of the most stunning that Rob and Eliot have discovered on Just Ride so far. Most of it must be heard to be believed! From being robbed at knifepoint in Ecuador and accidentally eating dinner in a Chinese home, to freewheeling down the Himalayas and taking in the Millennium New Year in Paris, Joff’s journeys have been like no other.And that’s all while rolling round the world on a 49in fixed-gear penny farthing. His current steed has done nearly 40,000 miles. As you can imagine, Rob and Eliot couldn’t get their heads around it.As well as his physical feats, Joff also has a refreshing outlook on life – never travelled but want to? Do it! You’ll find a way. If you want to watch this full-length episode with Joff (and his penny farthing!) then you can find it on Red Bull TV, and if you want to email the show then please hit us up at podcast@redbull.com.If you want to learn more about Joff and his exploits, you can check out his YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/joff1000 And follow Joff on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/joff_summerfield/?hl=enWe’ll see you in two weeks.

To say that Annemiek van Vleuten won it all is an understatement. The Dutch cyclist retired last season at the age of 41, having accomplished pretty much, well… everything in women's road cycling.In the coming years much will be written and spoken about Annemiek’s achievements - and in truth it would make a remarkable Hollywood blockbuster.Winning a world title with a broken elbow, overcoming illness and launching an outrageous solo attack to win the inaugural Tour de France Femmes, losing Olympic Gold due to a horror crash on a descent into Copacabana Beach in Rio… and that’s just for starters.Annemiek is a resilient force of nature and it’s our pleasure to reveal she’s also a fan of Just Ride! A listener to the first series, she was waiting patiently by the phone for her invite onto series two.Now embracing life in retirement, Rob and Eliot loved learning all about Annemiek’s life to date and her plans in the future.If you want to watch this full-length episode with Annemiek, Eliot and Rob then you can find it on Red Bull TV, and if you want to email the show then please hit us up at justride@redbull.com.We’ll see you in two weeks.

Rob and Eliot discuss the inaugural Red Bull Hardline Australia, featuring the first female runner and a new winner, Rónán Dunne. They chat about the wild moments at Maydena and the unique challenges of the event, including extreme weather conditions and impressive performances by all participants.

Rachel Atherton is a certified mountain bike hall of famer and if Rob and Eliot listed out her entire list of achievements then we wouldn’t have time for anything else on this week’s Just Ride.The queen of downhill, Rachel made headlines in 2023 for returning to the World Cup scene after overcoming a long-term achilles injury and becoming a mother for the first time. Not only did she compete in Lenzerheide but, in typical Rachel fashion, she won.That was her 40th World Cup win, a remarkable 17 years after her first.As you might expect, this turned into one of Rob and Eliot’s longest-ever Just Ride chats. History books, retirement, Red Bull Hardline, motherhood… there was so much to discuss with the incredible Rachel and the guys got stuck in.If you want to watch this full-length episode with Rachel, Eliot and Rob then you can find it on Red Bull TV, and if you want to email the show then please hit us up at podcast@redbull.com.We’ll see you in two weeks for our third episode of season two.

When Geraint Thomas first rode the Tour de France in 2007, he wasn’t even expected to make it past the first week. A track rider then, a year away from winning gold in Beijing, the Welshman gritted his teeth to survive the mountains of France and finish 140th.Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to return 11 years later and win the famous yellow jersey.Thomas’s career has been remarkable in both its longevity and scope, winning gold on the track at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, conquering cobbled Classics on the road, before becoming one of the best Grand Tour riders of his generation. Now 37, he's still aiming for more success this season.Here at Just Ride, we thought what better way to kick-start season two than by inviting our first Tour de France winner onto the show! Rob and Eliot absolutely loved chatting to ‘G’, picking his brains on the intricacies of Grand Tour tactics, internal team conflict, and how easy it is for Geraint to pop down the shops in his native Cardiff – plus much, much more.Get in touch with us @robwarner970 & @eliotjackson.

"The fear is always there but it depends how much you tune into it and how much you listen to it.”Swedish mountain biker Emil Johansson might be the most successful slopestyle rider in the history of his sport but, as he reveals in this episode of Mind Set Win, fear is still an emotion he experiences every time he puts his helmet on.To launch his bike off staggering jumps and perform innovative tricks, the three-time Triple Crown of Slopestyle winner explains how trusting in his ability and not second guessing his decisions are the foundation of his winning mindset and the key to his dominance on the track.Hosts Cédric and York explore how Emil is able to think rationally in key moments and provide a step-by-step plan to help us all train to become more courageous in daily life. The exercise involves frequently putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and challenging yourself to be rational in trying to understand where your fear is coming from and why you’re feeling it.Regardless, when being your own coach, don’t be disheartened by failure because, as Emil says, you build your courage and self-belief through trial and error.For more information, check out: Mind Set Win: Discover the keys to a winning mindset (redbull.com).Get in touch with us podcast@redbull.com!For more information, check out: Mind Set Win: Discover the keys to a winning mindset (redbull.com).Get in touch with us podcast@redbull.com!

When Rob Warner commentates on five-time downhill world champion Loïc Bruni, he calls him the professor – and it’s easy to see why. The Frenchman is not just a serial winner, but also a deep thinker about what he calls the best sport in the world: downhill mountain biking.We’ve reached episode 11 in Just Ride season one, so Rob and Eliot thought it was about time they called up a legend of their own sport to tell the audience all about the complexities of downhill, from the technical challenges to the fascinating mental battles at the elite end of the sport.At just 29 years of age, Loïc has won five world titles and has his sights set on winning two more, which would bring him level with Nico Vouilloz, his compatriot and seven-time winner. Loïc spoke to Rob and Eliot about chasing the great man while fighting off the incredible new young crop of downhill stars – and much, much more.If you’re enjoying Just Ride then please email us at podcast@redbull.com to earn a shoutout on the show and let us know who you want to hear from moving forwards.

Emily Chappell had barely ridden a bike until she moved to London after university and became a cycle courier. Quickly discovering a love for cycling led her on a life-changing journey, which culminated in winning the fearsome Transcontinental Race. The British cyclist and author has led a remarkable life and joined Rob and Eliot on Just Ride to talk about ultra-endurance racing, attempting to race on no sleep for three days, and finding slugs in your helmet after a night snoozing in a field.The Transcontinental Race is the definitive self-supported bike race across Europe. Every rider is self-reliant for logistics and navigation, making it a true psychological test – let alone a physical one. The route is typically 4,000km and, in 2016, Emily completed it in an incredible 13 days.She told Rob and Eliot all about that, as well as her life as a cycle courier in central London, and what her next challenges could be.We’re coming to the end of Just Ride season one but if you’d like to earn a shoutout on the show please email us at podcast@redbull.com with your best biking stories, or you can hit Eliot and Rob up on their socials – @robwarner970 & @eliotjackson – to share the Just Ride love.New episodes of Just Ride are released every other Tuesday.
