10: Lachlan Morton - EF Pro Tour Rider to Ultra Endurance Cyclist, Colorado Trail and GB Duro

Overland Archive Podcast

We are joined this week by World Tour racer Lachlan Morton of EF Education First Pro Cycling. He tells us stories from his beginnings in road racing as a kid, going professional and most recently his exploits in racing EF’s “Alternative Calendar”. Races such as DK and Leadville 100 as well has his first forays into ultra endurance cycling and bikepacking at GBDuro (self-support ultra stage race) and an Individual Time Trial of the Colorado Trail Race, where he came within 90 minutes of the Northbound course record.
In the show we discuss the DK gravel race. I recently heard about some issues with the name and disrespect it causes to the Kaw People of the region. Please take the time to read and sign the petition:
