Hamish Graham, Sixty/8

Hamish Graham, Sixty/8

In our latest interview show, Chris talks to a young entrepreneur called Hamish Graham. Hamish has taken over the reins of, not just a cycling holiday company, but the first ever cycling holiday company. The business that in the 1960s founded Majorca as a cycling holiday destination and spawned a tourist industry. That earned its creator, Yorkshireman Doug Petty the Majorcan equivalent of a knighthood.


The business is now called Sixty/8 (sixty8.cc), and Hamish has made it his own, offering packages in Majorca and Girona, and bespoke holidays in other iconic European destinations. In fact wherever you want to cycles, sixty8.cc can make it happen. Hamish is a very experienced racer, who although he got a place in a famous Belgian Kermesse team by at first being mistaken for someone else, made his mark in this tough Belgian school of racing, as well as elsewhere in Europe.


Now he's trying his hand at endurance cycling, having just recently made his debut in the Dales Divide, a 600-kilometre mostly off-road bike-packing race from the Lancashire coast, across the Dales and North Yorkshire National Parks to the Yorkshire coast, and back again. You can read more about that on bikepacking.com


As a fitting touch Hamish took some of Doug Petty's ashes with him for inspiration. Petty was Hamish's step-dad.


It's a great story, give it a listen.
