Day 52. Benllech to Kinmel Bay with the wonderful Rhian and supported by her great family. Sunshine, tailwinds and great company besides important discussion about suicide and recovery. Today to Liverpool and then a days rest (really just catching up on admin)

Day 53. Kinmel Bay to Liverpool with Holly. Loved cycling #wirralway and crossing the Mersey with Liverpool's skyline Spoke about the importance of animals in supporting people's well-being, the act of caring for something that needs you can keep you going #TandemAgainstSuicide

Days 63, 64 & 65. What a ride. Breakdowns followed by heroics from Andy and #canmoretrust aka John and Isobel. A privilege to meet the wonderful crew of HMS CHARGER for the transfer from #Stranraer to #Campbelltown and then to cycle with Isla. Loving being back in Scotland!

Some of my favorite things, with some of my favorite people in one of my favorite places. It's a long drive but worth it. I'll be talking about the cycle, what I've learned so far and the bike. Cycling, suicide prevention and the wind between your toes!

Powerful interview between Fiona Stalker and Xani. Really highlights a need for us to create space for people to find commonality. It’s clear people want to help more. Perceives difference often gets in the way. Well done Xani.

Day 80. Love this video that Tinderflint have put together. There's lots of sadness during the cycle, given the subject, but also many happy moments, lots of laughter and loads of beautiful places.

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay Far too many of us have a lived experience, or have been affected by suicide in some way. I bumped into Xani Byrne by chance while getting ready for a sea swim one day - something I do to support my mental health.

Very pleased to be given the opportunity to do this. People often don't speak about bereavement by suicide but it's so important that we do as it can be very isolating.

Looking forward to talking about the trip and all I've learned since then. Come along and listen. I promise you'll leave better equipped to talk about suicide and wanting to ride a tandem :)
