Graham

"I’m a bus driver and I love my job but cycling gives me a release and clears my mind. It helps get rid of the baggage of the day and feel better mentally.

"My advice for anyone thinking about taking part is just do it and don’t think too much about it – you’ll enjoy the ride! Your cycling has a purpose. Everyone has days they can’t be bothered but if you have a focus that really helps you get out there and cycle!"
