Bru Time 199: Riding 6,000 Miles to the Arctic Circle - Stan Hulme 'The Inspired Rider'
CONTACT ME - leave a text or VOICEMAIL In Episode 199 of BRU TIME, Bruce chats with Stan Hulme ('The Inspired Rider') about his extraordinary 6,121-mile solo expedition from Leicester to Nordkapp in northern Norway, raising funds for Alex's Wish. Stan’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. Before leaving, he survived a severe bout of Delta COVID-19, a mini-stroke (TIA), and a total final-drive failure on his 17-year-old BMW GS. On the road, he faced closed international borders, an exposed tooth abscess, charging moose, washed-out bridges, and a brutal Arctic storm that left him stage-one hypothermic at -10°C. Key Points: • The origin of 'The Inspired Rider' & supporting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Alex's Wish) • Overcoming major health setbacks & returning to fitness • Real-world lessons on solo packing, wild camping, and navigation in Scandinavia • Highs and lows of riding Norway’s national routes (FV13, Lysebotn, Trollstigen) • Navigating emergencies with the help of community, gas stations, and Bunker Bikers • Community Q&A: Ideal adventure bikes (Tuareg 660 vs GS), advanced riding myths, and fitness for motorcyclists.
