Episode 70 - Darren Franks: Velomatch Talking Ultra Distance Adventures

Apr 07, 2022, 05:00 PM

One of my favourite memories of Darren was at the National 24 hour TT in 2019 where he was the person who grabbed my bike at the end whilst I collapsed to the floor post race. Darren is one of the most accomplished ultra distance cyclists I know having tackled The TCR, TransAm Bike Race, Paris Brest Paris and London Edinburgh London to name a few. He is also someone who doesn't like to limit himself to one category and can be found racing in the Masters Crits in London. Darren is also the Co-Founder at Velomatch, a digital cycling marketplace which unbundles advising from selling. By disrupting the market in this way we offer more choice, better advice and greater convenience.

I've also set up a Patreon if you'd like to help support the channel for less than the price of a fancy London coffee and croissant: https://www.patreon.com/chrishallrides
