Ride for Someone
In November I’ll be riding 440+ miles or 710 km on my Druid in memory of my father, over a long weekend
Over the course of 10 years he drove over 1/4 million miles to see me & my sister, showing me what commitment, endurance & love are
I’ll be keeping the ride as off road as possible, keeping @maxxisbike knobblies on my @forbiddenbikecompany Druid & riding at a time of year when the weather could be anything & everything
I’m riding in aid of @myblackdog_co & @movember, two amazing charities offering support & compassion to those who need it most
The mo is returning, the training better start soon & the wider conversation around mental health has already begun
It’ll soon be a year since I lost my father to cancer & it hurts deeply. I’ve always wanted to do something for a reason I can verbalise & it’s unfortunately taken his passing to find a reason
We spend a lot of time alone when training or pursuing our endurance related goals & dreams
Please know, there are always people ready to talk if you need a shoulder to lean on
