Wizard Works Studio, North Greenwich
The P.A.S.T adventure series spotlights the amateur. The person who already won by getting to the starting line. The person who got out of the rut and went on an adventure. The person who had 9 hours without the kids so went to the forest for a camp out before being back for the school run in the morning.
These are the stories that aren't told in the media. We're not doing anything the best, or for the first time. We're not the fastest and we're not being sponsored. There's no medal at the end. We're powered by blissful ignorance and naive optimism and we're just f*****g doing it.
This series is designed to encourage people to get out there, in whatever way they want to.
Our first story teller is New Forest Off Road Club ride leader Sue. Sue will be sharing vintage tales from her 3 week bike tour around Iceland in 1996. Inspired by reading Josie Dew’s “The Wind in My Wheels”, Sue and her partner set off on their Dawes Galaxy road bikes to explore the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ along the 800 mile Route 1 Ring Road.
Our second story teller is Ve. Ve is a scientist by day, adventure cyclist by night! Ve rides with iconic London Crit Club, The North London Thundercats, Women of Colour Cycling Club and the trailblazing Steezy Collective. Ve is going to tell us the story of her first ever bikepacking adventure, the Congo Nile Trail!
Our third and final story tellers are the Co Founders of Wizard Works, Harry & Ve.
On May 7th, 2015, Harry & Ve flew from Melbourne, where they had been living for three and a half years, to Tokyo to begin a two wheeled adventure. The plan involved cycling through Japan, South Korea and China before heading into south east Asia.
Harry and Ve will tell the story of their colour filled adventure and how Wizard Works was born.
"What I love about PAST is that it puts ordinary people in front of other ordinary people, on a stage that's not a stage, in a venue that feels like your coolest mate's front room."
