We often set out on these big adventures with a picture in our heads of what we're going to get from them.

And the reality is they almost never deliver that thing.

Instead, they hand us something else entirely.

And that's exactly what makes them worth doing.

Hannah Glatter rode the brand new Great Plains gravel route this past summer.

It runs roughly 3,000 miles from the Texas desert to the Canadian border through states that people love to write off as flyover.

She covered around 100 miles a day for 36 days.

And before this, she had never bike-packed more than a few days at a time.

My name is Mel Webb, and this is Detours, a show about bikepacking, ultra-endurance, and the many different ways people find freedom on two wheels.

We share the highs, the lows, and of course, the detours along the way.

This show is made possible by Albion Cycling, clothing and accessories designed to help you stay outside for longer.

You can get 15% off your next order with Albion with our code DETOURS15.

All right, on to today's episode with Hannah.

Were you straight back on the bike after it was 36 days, right?

Oh my gosh.

Have you raced together on the tandem?

You're nodding your head.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

I don't know why in my head, but I just feel like it would be really, really hard to sprint on a tandem.
