We Rode The World’s Biggest Bike Race : Supernerds Do Vätternrundan

Join Si, Alex, and Ollie as they take on the legendary Vätternrundan, a brutal 315km cycling event around Lake Vättern in Sweden, with the insanely ambitious goal of finishing in under 8 hours. Equipped with the latest aero gear, smart helmets, and a strict pacing strategy, the trio battles driving rain, headwinds, flat tires, and extreme fatigue to try and beat the clock. With the last rider across the finish line forced to eat stinky fermented herring, the stakes and the suffering were never higher!
