Dr Hutch is a longstanding columnist in Cycling Weekly (other cycling magazines are available, see our link to Cyclist below y'know), commentator, pundit, voice of cycling authority and author of several books including the critically acclaimed The Hour , a warts-and-all account of his ill-fated attempt at the Hour record, Faster: The obsession, science and luck behind the world's fastest cyclists, and most recently, Further: Seeking the distant limits of cycling endurance (Atlantic). In this episode, Dr Hutch explains the moment he 'cried for seven hours on a bike', how Haribo jelly-snakes saved his bacon, the mental madness and fortitude of endurance racing from national 24hr TTs to the Transcon, what makes a endurance specialist special, and why failing to take the Hour was exactly what it says: a failure, but one that rewarded him with lifelong lessons that have shaped his cycling ever since.
