🚴‍♀️✨ Rider Spotlight: Meet Anne-Marie Goldsmith 🚴‍♀️✨
Following a brain haemorrhage 29 years ago, Anne-Marie never thought she’d get back on a bike; numerous surgeries resulted in a series of strokes, leaving her with balance issues and weakness in her left leg.
But with the support and encouragement of her good friend, Claire, she took the plunge and had her first go on the back of a tandem just 2 years ago.
And it has transformed her life!
It’s a reminder that with creativity, support, and determination, obstacles can become opportunities and that the love of cycling can be shared in new, life-changing ways.
💪 Every pedal forward is a victory, and we can’t wait to cheer her and Claire on at Etape Loch Ness!

4 weeks to go!
Time for the final training block! đź’Ş
This is your moment to sharpen your endurance, dial in your climbing legs, and perfect your pacing.
🔹 Weekend Rides – Plan a challenging, longer ride in your local area.
🔹 Midweek Sessions – With lighter evenings, it’s the perfect time to build hill reps into your routine.
🔹 Listen to Your Body - Feeling run down? Prioritise rest. It’s far better to recover properly than to push through and risk setbacks.
In just two weeks, we’ll begin tapering so you’re fresh and ready for the big day!
