"Fustle Causeway - What a bike!"
The picture below is of Ivan McMinn, proudly wearing his Vatterunden 2025 medal.
The Vatterunden is the world’s largest public cycle event and 2025 was the 60th year of the event, this year attracting over 24,000 cyclists from all around the world, competing in what is a 315km non-stop event around the massive Lake Vatterunden in the centre of Sweden.
Ivan was 62 when he completed in the event and although he has completed a number of Marathons and many half marathons, triathlons and the likes, he had never undertaken such a long cycle event, his longest prior to “Varrerunden” being just over 100kms, so quite a challenge.
Ivan contacted us to thank us for our help in supplying him with a Causeway. His comments to us were
“Wow, what a bike!The Causeway was just amazing and got me round the 315kms in just over 15 hours. The Causeway allowed me to cover the KMs with ease and in comfort, including the circa 7,000 ft of climb during the event with some of the climbs lasting a good few KMs. I can honesty say that if someone had said to me at the finish line, you have another 100kms to go, I’d have had no problem doing that.
Massive thanks to Julie and Alistair for all their help and advice to the novice that I wasFustle Causeway strongly recommended."
