Duncan Covey’s highlights reel from pedalling the plant might sound like a list of good reason to avoid such trauma, and yet he shares with such pride and positivity the learning and motivations from facing such setbacks and hardships.

Endurance starts in the mind and Duncan shares candidly what he went through and learned from his first pedal powered odyssey in this 8th episode of Season 2 of the Endurance podcast.

Filmed at the Adventure Travel Show in London in January 2026, this episode of the Endurance podcast is launched on 28th February at 9am, UK time. It was a real pleasure to meet Duncan after following on Instagram, fresh back from his first global adventure and planning so many more.

Luca Kuhn is a Swiss born, London based entrepreneur and bike rider, who set up Ride Luca in 2020 - she saw a market dominated by gear that was often designed with men in mind, leaving women’s fit and needs as an afterthought. Luca wanted something different and has build a thriving community of riders and advocates. Empowering women on & off the bike.

In this episode, filmed in Mallorca, we first explore Luca's own riding ambitions as she pushed her limits and gave us all a fright when she fainted on the legendary Sa Calobra climb! She has since gone from strength to strength with a structured training program. We also delve into her motivations to start both a cycling brand and the community that surrounds it.
