Intriguing Beings Podcast - Episode 10 - Gee Atherton - a podcast by Rou Chater

This week I head to the Kendal Mountain Festival in the Ford Transit Custom van to catch up with Gee Atherton, multiple UCI Downhill World Champion, winner of numerous UCI DH World Cups and Rampage competitor and Hardline winner 2018! Gee's one of the best riders on the planet although he's pretty humble with it.

We talk about those early days riding bikes for fun and how his passion morphed into a career without him even really realising it. We discuss the crashes that go with the territory and the numerous injuries he's suffered. Gee tells us about the mental recovery that has to happen with the physical in order for him to want to throw himself down a mountain again and we also talk about the big two events, Rampage and Hardline.

Gee's a fantastic guest and I think you'll enjoy this one, he's as passionate about racing bikes as he ever was and after a recent return to form he can't wait for next season to get underway!

Enjoy!
