This episode is presented by Physiovélo. Because in ultra-cycling, having the right riding position makes all the difference.
In this new Ultra Cycling Podcast capsule, Arnaud Manzanini meets Henri Do, a unique figure in Quebec’s ultra-cycling scene.
Henri didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a cyclist. As a child, he preferred video games to sports. Then one day, everything changed. It started with long-distance triathlon, then cycling, until ultra became a true way of living, thinking, and exploring.
In this episode, he looks back on his extraordinary journey:
Everestings,
winter expeditions,
a Montreal–New York ride,
the Trans Canada,
the Trans Am,
and a deeply personal approach to effort where performance never overshadows the adventure.

Henri shares a rare vision of ultra: a blend of discipline, adaptability, poetry, chosen solitude, and absolute trust in the body’s ability to adjust. Nothing is ever fully improvised, yet everything remains open to the unexpected. It’s this tension between structure and letting go that makes his journey so fascinating.
Throughout the conversation, we discover a man who rides far, long, often alone, but never to escape. He rides to observe, breathe, reflect, document, understand, and push beyond his own limits. Ultra is not just a field of performance, it’s a space for transformation.
A powerful episode about resilience, the relationship with emptiness, the beauty of wide open spaces, adaptability, and one simple yet powerful belief: many limits are first and foremost mental.
