And yes, this is Broom Wagon – Season 3 – Episode 3.

Obviously, this was just the excuse, and on records we talked about many other things. Listen to the episode and get to know more abo...

And yes, this is Broom Wagon – Season 3 – Episode 2.

Final stage completed. It's all over, we did it! I get interviewed by the organizers first, then after the closing ceremony I have the pleasure to speak with Martine, the Lanterne Rouge of the competition. So we get to see also another perspective on the Haute Route, the one that is not focused only on performance and racing. And by pure chance, it happens a weird coincidence: her favorite moment...

After the time trial it is time to get back in the peloton. Our memories are still on Stage 4 and the hypothermia some of us experienced. We have the pleasure to speak with a special guest. If you participated in ANY Haute Route event you will quickly recognize him. Tomorrow it's the last stage, and you can hear the description of it at the very end. Our contacts, as usual: hello@calamaro.cc , or...

Time Trial Day! We hear about it from Lina, and then we have a look on what it takes to be successful at it. A view on the general classification of the Haute Route, a look back on the last two difficult days and it's already time to move on to the next stage. Hopefully with some coffe!

Stage 4 was not your ordinary bike ride. Freezing temperatures, heavy rain and the decision to skip the last climb due to extreme weather conditions. That decision eliminated the Tourmalet from the tour, to the disappointment of someone, but for most of us it was a decision that saved our day. Hypothermia was a real threat, and we might have been closer to it than we would like to think. But you'l...

Big climbs. Big descents. Fog. Rain. Cork brake pads. Wait, no. That combination doesn't work. I found myself going straight on a tight corner in the middle of a descent during today's stage, but no injuries so all is good. Today we talk with Neil, from the Mavic team that is supporting us in these days. And with the cutest couple in the HR Pyrenees, Chris and Wynnie, who are not only doing the Py...

Day 2 is done and in the archives. Kevin wins the most prestigious competition of the week, with the envy of the whole peloton. We interview Stefano Unterthorner and Silvano Janes, the leading duo of the competition. Who dey regularly destroy me uphill, but I still like them! And we have some very important announcement from the organizers at the end. As usual, follow us and get in touch with us....

Day 1 is done. Here we are with the winner of the first stage, Carlo Fino, discovering what makes the Haute Route different from the other races and how did the stage go today. And at the very very end, we reveal also his secret power-food. Follow and write us on Instagram: sgergole and calamarocc, or on Strava. Plus the usual hello@calamaro.cc Simon (alias Packo, the fluffy peluche): https://www....

Broom Wagon has been hijacked by Simon. Why? Because there is the Haute Route Pyrenees! Day 0, the day before the beginning of the epic stage race in the French Pyrenees. There will be a daily report of the race, trying to bring you the experiences from both Simon and the people participating in it.
