It was the toughest physical challenge I have ever done but incredibly satisfying to achieve. I loved learning to ride and sit in a high speed peloton like the pros for hours at a time, riding through stunning scenery with a great bunch of cyclists...

The experience was immensely satisfying as I never thought I could or would complete such an arduous ride, and knowing I wouldn’t have been successful had it not been for everyone in the group - especially the ride captains and the support crew.
