About this Podcast:
FKT Challenges There’s something about going out the door with a simple idea: pick a route, push yourself, and see what you’re capable of. FKT Challenges is built around that. This isn’t about big events, travel budgets, or perfectly structured race calendars. It’s for people with jobs, families, responsibilities—people who still feel that pull to go hard, to test themselves, and to see what’s possible on a given day. The idea is simple. Find a route in your local area. It could be a 30 km loop, a 100 km gravel ride, a mountain pass, or something you’ve always looked at and thought, “I wonder how fast I could do that.” Create it. Share it. Ride it. Post your route in the FKT Challenges Strava club. Share it with the community. Put a time down. That becomes the mark. From there, it’s open. Someone else can take a shot at it. Maybe they beat it, maybe they don’t. Maybe you go back and try again. That’s the whole point. It’s not about who’s the fastest in the world. It’s about creating your own challenges, in your own backyard, and showing up for them. What matters is the effort. This is about making endurance accessible again. No barriers to entry. No need to travel across the world. No need to wait for a start line. You choose the day. You choose the route. You go. And you share it. Because the real power in this is the community that builds around it. Cheering each other on. Following along. Watching someone take on something that’s big for them—whether that’s their first 100 km ride or an all-day effort deep into the mountains. There’s no elitism here. Some of the stories you’ll hear are from riders at the very top level, chasing big lines and big efforts. Others are from people just getting started, stepping into something new, and finding out what they’re capable of. Both matter equally. This podcast is about those stories. It’s about the quiet local loop that turned into something bigger than expected. It’s about the long days that don’t go to plan. It’s about the wins, the failures, the lessons, and the moments that stick with you long after the ride is over. From the biggest routes in the world to the small ones close to home—there’s value in all of it. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t really about time. It’s about showing up, doing something hard, and sharing that experience with others. That’s FKT Challenges.
