💙 Cyclist`s Story: Callum Kelsey

"I felt like I was just going through the motions, not truly living."

Following the tragic loss of his best friend to suicide last year, Callum was determined to honour his friend`s memory and set himself a challenge: to lose 35kg and complete the Etape Loch Ness.

He has already smashed his £1,000 target for a mental health charity.

Good luck, Callum! We are all rooting for you at the finish line.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚴🏾 2 weeks to go! 🦕 🚴

In a couple of weeks, thousands will be lining up in the Scottish Highlands for the ride of the year.

The long training rides are almost behind you - now it’s time to focus on the details to ensure a smooth ride:

🛠️ Check the bike: Is everything running smoothly? (Maybe a final tune-up? ⚙️)

🍌 Check the fuel: Have you nailed your nutrition and hydration plan? 🍶

🌤️ Check the kit: Think layers🧤🌬️

🍶 Hydration is key: ensure your body is hydrated before you hit the start line.

💤 Prioritise rest: Never underestimate the power of a good night`s sleep.

🔋💪 Time to taper: Reduce your mileage and let your legs recover. Trust the hard work you’ve put in; you’re building up the energy stores you’ll need for the big day.

The finish line feeling is so close we can almost taste that @harrygowbakery Dream Ring!
