Cyclists take on 540 mile challenge for charity

This 19 minute documentary tells the Cycle GB story in full, capturing the trials and tribulations of the team members over the 7 days of cycling.

Helen from Benenden invested in a new road bike and was busy trying to fit her training in around work and looking after her two young daughters. She wanted to show them that you can do anything if you try hard and put your mind to it!

Ben Arthur from Benenden talks about preparing for stage 1 of the cycling challenge and his motivation, which comes in part from his personal experiences of people close to him who have suffered through different mental health concerns.

As an experienced distance cyclist, Alan Cameron from RSA was a great support to the newbie riders and in this video he shares his top tips for preparing for a long distance ride like Cycle GB 2016.

John & June from Keegan & Pennykid prepared for the event by taking weekend rides along the Union Canal in Edinburgh with their son, Carter, shouting instructions from his child seat.

Chris Cassidy from RSA talks about his motivation for taking on the Cycle GB 2016 challenge. A novice cyclist who only bought a bike 3 months before the event, Chris knew that in order to be ready for the challenge his training needed to get underway – and fast!
