“Polar Explorer” sounds like a job title from the 19th century, but that’s what Ben Saunders is. Fortunately, he’s also a cyclist. In fact, he prefers to be thought of as an endurance athlete, and when you hear he’s walked more than 4300 miles at the Poles, it’s hard to argue. Ben lives and trains in the Richmond area of London, and we rode out into the Surrey Hills together, which is still fairly busy and totally at odds with the solitude he experiences on an expedition.
