The MindCycle Tour - riding the 2018 Tour de France for Mental Health

This was one of the most intense things I have done on my mental health mission. I rode the whole 2018 Tour de France route on a static trainer in different workplaces in support of MQ Mental Health with the aim if raising awareness about mental health challenges and the importance of being open. The initiative was sponsored by Deloitte and supported by Trek Bikes. Employees would come and ride along with me and chat about mental health along the way. It was mentally and physically the hardest thing I have every done but really did get the conversation going. This led to a follow up initiative called MindCycle Events where we took the bikes into workplaces to get people moving and chatting about their mental health.
