We are riding LEJOG to remember @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social who tragically took his life earlier this year. We wanted to do a ride he would have loved in a way he would have done himself: plenty of stops, lots of food, & good beer.
It's on 29th October at Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House at 6.45pm. If you live in Edinburgh or nearby, please come along and please share widely.
While it's heartbreaking to have said goodbye to Tim, we want to continue his legacy as best as possible, by sharing stories of cycling and mental health.
Looking forward to being back in Edinburgh at the end of the month to share the story of our Ride for Tim. We're also hearing from @nicklifeafloat.bsky.social and the charity Health in Mind.

I’m sure I’m not the only person who makes a NY resolution to read more. Failing miserably at the one-per-month aim - only four so far! But I have quite a few half-started, so I could still make it…
Fourth book so far this year: Still Life by Sarah Winman. After a slow start I was absolutely captivated by the story and the writing. Makes me want to go to Florence at once! (by train of course).

Tim was an absolute top bloke. Wise, funny, clever, passionate, and a bit silly. He was also extremely open and honest about his struggles. His story resonated with so many people. It's so important to speak about mental health, if only to help others.
On 29th October we're holding an event in Edinburgh about the Ride for Tim. There will also be talks from mental health charity Health in Mind, and Nick Ray @lifeafloat.bsky.social. All details here – all welcome 💙 fb.me/e/6IrqxMFSX
And if you're in Bristol, we'll be there the following week, 6th November.
The events are a chance to celebrate Tim and cycling, and reflect on the challenges of living with Bipolar disorder. Please come if you can 🙏 fb.me/e/3zPGGTfPA

It was #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2025 on Wednesday and I was thinking about Tim all day. If he were still here, Tim would surely have posted something honest and inspiring. I wanted to do the same but it's not so easy when your friend has gone. So instead here's just a lovely memory.
Reflecting on what has been a pretty crazy year. As well as the Georgia trip for work, I also was very fortunate to spend the summer cycling round Morocco. My ride started and finished in Tangier, and took in the Atlas mountains, the Sahara Desert, and the Atlantic coast amongst many other places 🇲🇦❤️
If you're in Edinburgh (or thereabouts) I've planned a Ride for Tim event on 29th October. Would be wonderful to see you there. Presentations about the ride & mental health from me, Health in Mind and Nick Ray @nicklifeafloat.bsky.socialfb.me/e/6IrqxMFSX All welcome 💙
We're holding an event in Edinburgh (also Bristol – details to follow) to celebrate the ride and talk about the really important topic of mental health. 29th October, 7pm, Quaker Meeting house. Please come if you can. All welcome.
Thanks for asking. I’m ok, but possibly because I gave myself the week off! Not back at work til next week so I can ease back into real life.
The anti-climax wasn’t bad for me because I’ve cycled LEJOG before so I wasn’t so focused on the destination. The end was still sad though (of course).
