“I had an original Raleigh Racer as a youngster (35 years ago!!) (but) I hadn’t really been on a bike for 15 years.”
“I got my first road bike 10 months before I took part! Other than commuting, my cycling experience was almost none.”
“Before I signed up for Le Loop the first time, I had a road bike but I didn’t use it regularly.”
“Embrace the experience. Not many of us will play at Wembley or Lords … we can cycle in the playground of the pros though!”

“Before Le Loop I thought there were rides I could never do, now I just think how am I ever going to do them all!”
“When I got the confirmation I’d got my place to ride the Grand Loop, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!”
“I started riding (and squeezing into lycra!) at the grand old age of 50, essentially to keep fit and try and keep some of the weight off.”
“I have always defined myself as academic rather than sporty, so to have someone refer to me as an athlete still gives me goosebumps.”
“As a seasoned roadie, Le Loop allowed me to realise one of my few two-wheeled ambitions.”
