What happens when you're racing 4,000 kilometres across Europe and suddenly realise your passport is gone?

For Jason Vail, the story began in Lourdes, France. After misplacing his passport in a hotel, was there another miracle of Lourdes? What happened next would ultimately send him on a very different journey.

In this episode of the VIA Podcast, Jason shares the story behind the lost passport, his unique view from the "back of the pack" and finishing as the "Lanterne Rouge".

Why does an American cross an ocean to cross Europe 3 times in 3 years? As a VIA Trilogy rider, Jason has some unique views and great advice for new riders.

A tale of ultracycling, bureaucracy, bad luck, good luck, and perhaps even a miracle.
