195. Tristan Cardew: European Gran Fondos, Becoming A Cycling Content Creator, & Hallucinating During Ultras

Ever wonder what it's like to hallucinate while riding your bike for 48 hours straight? In this episode of the Dialed Health Podcast, I talk with cycling content creator Tristan Cardew to discuss the wild world of ultra-endurance cycling events.  We discuss Tristan’s experiences participating in grueling multi-day races across challenging terrain, including vivid details about the hallucinations he experienced after riding for two days without sleep during the Badlands race. We also discuss prioritizing sleep during events to lead to better performance, and how to mentally approach Ultras.  Tristan Cardew is a cycling content creator, photographer, and ultra-endurance cyclist based in Girona, Spain. Originally from Australia, he moved to Europe eight years ago to pursue his passion for cycling. He's known for his YouTube channel "Tristan Take Video" and his Instagram account "Tristan Take Photo," where he shares his cycling adventures, photography tips, and experiences from European gran fondos and ultra-endurance events.
