THE ORIGIN STORY OF SVEIN TUFT
WE ALL HAVE AN ORIGIN STORY that got us to where we are. That first event: a movie like Breaking Away, a chance glance at the Tour de France, the first time...
... we experienced real freedom on borrowed equipment.
On our own.
For some it starts very young.
The great Svein Tuft...
- 13 time National Champ
- TdF stage winner
- Uber pro
... started out at 16.
Dropping out of school to spend more time in the mountains, hauling a 60 lb trailer into the wild.
How's that for base miles?
For me, The Velo Podcast is hit in miss, but this interview with Svein is so compelling...
- a purists approach to racing
- crazy stories from hopping trains to UFOs
- and a golden voice tracing a remarkable career
... I listened to it right though.
It's the kinda thing that simultaneously makes one feel small...
... and chomping to risk safety and accomplish much more.
