Guest post by a recent cycling convert Buzz! The alarm pulls me from a dream. Six am already? I stumble into the shower, get changed and try to spoon some cereal into my mouth. Then, I’m on the bus. Beside me is a big, bearded guy whose elbow is pressed into my ribs. It’s hot.

The Oman Sprint

Road construction. Sand bank spilling across the shoulder. I brake hard, try to swerve and jump the curb. Wheels slip, I hit pavement. Luckily there are no vehicles passing just then or I’d be roadkill. Lucky too I hit my left knee. The right had gotten 6 stitches from my last bad fall and the doctor […] The post The Oman Sprint appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

(As written for Cycling Tips, Sept 13, 2017) I was somewhere in the middle of the Australian desert on that fateful morning of March 30th, racing from coast to coast in the inaugural Indian Pacific Wheel Race. The news came via a Facebook message that seemed too incredible to be true. My friend, fellow racer […] The post Keeping Mike Hall’s Legacy Alive: Why the Transcontinental Needed to Continue appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

(As written for Outside Magazine, April 11, 2017) My wheels whistled in the hot crosswinds, and I gulped down a mouthful of water to moisten the dryness in my mouth and throat. I had set off from Ceduna, on the southern coast of Australia, in the freezing, pre-dawn darkness of late March 2017, with the target […] The post In Memory of Mike Hall, the Man Who Inspired a World of Cyclists appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president of the USA was to sign an executive order which prohibits organisations that receive US family planning assistance from using non-US funding to provide abortion services, information, counselling or referrals, making it impossible for organisations not only to deliver the service of safe abortions, but also to […] The post Trump’s War on Women’s Rights Begins appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

It was my second puncture halfway through the day and I had used up my spare tube. This came shortly after managing to find water at a creepy abandoned train station with rusty trams and cars scattered halphazardly around a derelict building with a caretaker who could not figure out how I got there. “You […] The post Kindness appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

I was recently asked what I thought of the latest pop fitness fad in the US called Soul Cycle, made ever more popular by the clamour of celebrities who grace their bright yellow-themed studios to take a “soul journey”. Fortunately it has not moved into Europe yet, so I had to go online and look […] The post Do Not Sell Your Soul to SoulCycle appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

You know that downer at the party who turns down a dish because ‘oh sorry, I don’t eat flour’? Yeah, that’s me. I never used to be “that guy”. I was the one polishing off every dish in front of me with the raging appetite of a hungry cyclist. Until a year and a half […] The post Keto Baby! appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more

Something’s wrong, I thought, laying in the semi-darkness of the dysfunctional Winnebago Warrior that served as my “sleeper” base. My heart was racing a mile a minute and it felt like there was a fire raging in my insides. Billy, my crew chief, peered into the camper. ‘Rise and shine sleeping beauty. We got a […] The post What I learned from RAAM appeared first on Juliana Buhring ..read more
