I spotted this on the BBC News App https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-65424579 and thought that it would interest folk here.
The lady involved seems to be an amazing fundraiser but it also using cycling to help deal with bereavement and I know that a number of folk from here have been affected by this.
She's certainly a cycling heroine.
Not in the same league, but after both my parents had died through cancer, I signed up for a supported LEJOG with Marie Curie. It was, ostensibly, to raise some funds in appreciation of the care they'd provided to both of my folks. In practice, I paid the riding fee AND the minimum sponsorship myself, with friends and family providing even more, but the journey did take on an added signifiance for me and I had many reflective moments whilst riding it. I can certainly see how an activity like this can help with the bereavement process.
Thanks for the link. I’ll be riding the Pilgrims hospice 100m ride tomorrow, my wife and I rode it together last year but I’ll be doing it on my own tomorrow and waving at the hospice as I go past. As scotroutes said, I’m looking forward to a reflective ride remembering all of our fabulous times together

Cycling is such great medicine and meditation. It really helps
A very interesting article.
When MrsMC had a miscarriage, the first thing my MiL did when she came to visit just afterwards was to send me out on my bike, and it was the first time I'd had the time and space to process my own emotions.
