The Trans Alba; 1075 miles around Scotland. My mum was my no.1 fan, and although she wasn’t able to see me start or finish the race this year she was routing for my dot the whole way. She is no longer with us and even though we said our final farewell on Friday her spirit will always accompany me wherever I ride. <3 May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. @transalbarace #roadslikethese #dowhatyoulove

My mum lost her battle with Multiple System Atrophy this week, aged 61. Mum, you never once complained and I love you for the gentle, kind and loving soul you always were no matter how tough or frustrating life seemed. MSA is a rare disease with around 3,300 people in the UK and Ireland currently living with it. This means that most people will never have heard of the condition, unless they themselves have already met someone with MSA. Sadly, this is also true for a lot of health professionals which is why the MSA Trust works to raise awareness and increase understanding of MSA throughout the UK and Ireland. It’s was Eileen’s wish to have no flowers, instead donations to the @msatrust to support the amazing work they do in helping people with MSA. Please visit the link in bio to donate or learn more! Thank you x https://www.msatrust.org.uk

Latergram.. CP2 on @purepeakgrit 200km in, I’m sorry to announce I’m a #purepeakgrit scratchee. Sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail. It seems that @transalbarace nocked a bit of stuffing out of me... Scratching is always a tough decision but this time I need to recover, regain and refocus in order to come back stronger next time.

CP1! @purepeakgrit #purepeakgrit

@purepeakgrit #purepeakgrit Here we go!!!

Tonight I will be setting off with a group of awesome women to take on (possibly) the hardest single bike ride ever attempted in the Peak District. Swipe right for the route, which is 375 miles long, taking in 28 iconic climbs and 14,000m ascent, all with a 48 hr time limit. Utter madness 🤷‍♀️ We are raising money for Friends of the Peak District and will be embracing every part of Britain's first National Park in order to support conserving it for the future. Please help make our self-inflicted pain easier by supporting us in raising funds to protect the small communities, nature & wildlife of this incredible place. You can follow our progress at @purepeakgrit or #purepeakgrit. Also go check out the website for more info - link in bio! #nobaddays #justridelots #hillsfordays #peakdistrict
