My Ride

I was commuting into London on a scooter when a friend suggested I try cycling instead. Complaining that the commute would take ages, I borrowed a bike..

Cycling has always been big in my family. When I slipped a disc cycling became my recovery, then my passion, then I got in to Triathlons

Cycling has really helped me. Finding new places, meeting new people and forgetting worries just for a while.

A few gins with a friend and I signed up to cycle from London to Paris (190 miles with Challenge Central) to give me something to aim for.

I found quiet routes around London and it transformed my experience of living in London, my wellbeing, and my daily happiness.

The end of my Saturday league football season meant I had to find other ways to fill a large chunk of my regular exercise.
