The Cycling Europe Podcast mainly features, well, cyclists. The interviewee in this episode, however, is first and foremost a mountaineer. But heโs not just any mountaineer. His name is Tim Ralph and heโs a seven summiteer; a man who has climbed the seven highest mountains on each of the continents. In the last few years, heโs also taken up cycle touring and has just published a book called โA Life Appreciated: From Spain to Norway on a Bikeโ. So what can mountaineering teach us about cycle touring? What can cycle touring teach mountaineers about climbing mountains? And what happens when an experienced mountaineer sets off to cycle from Europeโs geographical southernmost point at Tarifa in Spain to its northernmost point at Nordkapp in Norway?
