Rider Stories | Ryan

For the third instalment of our Rider Stories series, we meet Ryan. 

Ryan is signed up for our New Forest Tour sportive on the LONG route in September. It is going to be a major celebration for him as he turned 30 this year and has lost a staggering 48kg (so far!). 

He is training 5 days a week either on the indoor bike or outdoors. Starting at 144kg it took a lot of bravery to get moving, but once he was on the bike it was love at first sight.

The New Forest Tour event will be the first cycling event of any kind for Ryan, which is so fantastic to hear and he's certainly throwing himself in at the deep end. 

We can't wait to see you on the start line in September and will be cheering very loudly as you cross the finish line! 

Ryan is also using this celebration of cycling to fundraise for the care home that cared for his niece for the majority of her life until her passing earlier this year.

A huge thank you to Ryan for sharing what he's up to! We honestly really enjoy hearing from you all. If you ever have anything you want to share, drop Elyse an e-mail at [email protected] no matter how small it might be, be bold and hit send!
