Author and adventurer Roff Smith joins me to share his top seven favorite bike routes from his National Geographic book 100 Bike Rides of a Lifetime: The World's Ultimate Cycling Experiences.  Roff has cycled all over the world and is most known for his 10,000-mile solo trek through the Australian outback, the story of which became a three-part series in National Geographic. He’s explored Zanzibar by bike, rode from London to Istanbul, followed the Danube, and pedaled the length and breadth of Britain - to name a few! Roff’s list is packed with incredible options for cyclists of all kinds, from family-friendly trails to a few that are not for the faint of heart. He shares plenty of stories from his bike tours throughout the world, advice and insight into the challenges, and how you can build your life around travel. What trail are you most excited to explore for yourself? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
