🚴‍♂️🥾 Bike and Hike Stories – Episode 7



We’re just 4 weeks away from the big 100-mile ride, and you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed as the day gets closer. That’s totally okay.



In this video, Leigh Timmis shares some really helpful advice on how to break the distance into smaller chunks and take the pressure off.



There’ll be stops and support along the way, and a great group of people riding with you.
