one cyclist’s journey in coping with loss

[cycleofgrief @cycleofgrief]

As a new project for 2021 I've started a blog which I plan to update weekly talking about my experiences of loss and bereavement and how cycling helped me through the last few years. First post is available now. #cycling #cyclinglife #mentalhealth

This year's ride on the anniversary of losing my son was hampered by torrential rain and high winds; just the way I like it!

My last Devon ride; bike, car and pedestrian working together to create a safe & joyful experience for all. Surely that could never happen!

A "gentle" ride, freed from the constraints of route-planning. Just the 3 x 25%ers then!

I got home and said this was the hardest thing I'd done. Now I've had time to review I think I was probably right.

Finally finding Challacombe Hill Road and it doesn't disappoint!

The first of a number of Devon rides; possibly the last time I'll take a wrong turn and climb completely the wrong hill but I'm not hopeful

Father's Day?? Not for all of us.
A century ride seems like the best solution!

After a week of commuting by bike, what better way to spend your weekend than going for a ride?

It must be the pinnacle of my career. I've finally achieved a role where I can commute by bike!

There are many ways to spend difficult anniversaries. Cycling is the only one I've found that works

Best week of the year so far; stuck inside with pre-covid!

Getting in an early morning ride before work?
It doesn't always work out as well as it should!

I'm working Mon-Fri for the first time in my life. I've just discovered what weekends were meant for!

My first week at work in over a year and I'm exhausted; let's just squeeze in a quick ride

In which I put a lot of effort into avoiding any real work when there's cycling to be done
