The Hotchillee Ride Captains who lead you are an amazing bunch. They are there to keep the groups safe and on route. They support you with words of encouragement, keep you fuelled and even smiling while your legs want you to stop. With their encouragement you find you can keep going way beyond what you thought you were capable of. There is back up on hand provided by a support crew with a van so if you find a part of the day is one step too far for you can rest a while.
I have met some incredible friends for life through the shared experience of tough days on the bike and the sense of achievement at the end of each day. You experience the same struggles with your group and celebrate together afterwards. I always come home wanting to sign up for my next challenge and have many memories to treasure.”
