THE 42 CYCLING APPROACH
Regardless of your cycling abilities, 42 Cycling can organise a cycling tour experience that suits you or your group. Cycling creates shared experiences from which supportive environments grow. These communities can be key to overcoming negative and oppressive feelings caused by stresses or traumatic events.
Our team remove the hassles by planning and organising unforgettable experiences while adding in; some beautiful scenery, exercise (for the positive endorphin releases) and fresh air!
Having previously served 25 years in the Army, I have seen some sights all over the world and cycling helps me to process these as well as any worries, relieving tension and stress buildup. Some of my best ideas are whilst out cycling. Imagine that you have a pocket full of problems with a small hole at the bottom of your pocket. As you cycle you are slowly working through those problems and they one by one drop out of your pocket to be left by the wayside. By the time you get home you don't have any worries or problems left! You feel refreshed and are buzzing from the feel good hormones (endorphins) going off like popping candy in your brain and body. You go back to work the next day so much more confident and productive from giving yourself some mental respite. It's a no brainer, cycling is good for you.
