Leigh Brooksbank, UK

"In March I lost my youngest brother aged 44 to pancreatic cancer.

So this year I rode Ride London for pancreatic cancer UK to help others. I felt 100 miles wasn't enough If I was going to ask for sponsorship, so I rode to and back from the event as well. I raised £4236, Chris would have approved."

In June '23 I struggled to bike just 34 miles for a charity ride in the heat, only to be diagnosed a month later with stage 3 colon cancer. After six months of surgery and chemo, this year I am regularly biking 40 miles while feeling very good! I have already ridden more in '24 than the whole of last year!

Cheryl Gaiset, USA

I'm a 6 month ovarian cancer survivor who previously raced locally for 20 years, 2 Dirty Kanza, several Euro bike trips, commute daily and celebrating by doing Ned Gravel in a couple of weeks. Not letting the Big C stop me from being on 2 wheels!!!

Chris Broad-Drake, UK

Being able to go to Majorca for a week long cycle training camp whilst coping with terminal prostate cancer and enjoying it whilst being supported by a great group of club mates

Stephen Littlewood, UK

Completing the Dragon Ride Gran Fondo Sportive in the Brecon Beacons, to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support, in memory of a friend who died from cancer in 2022, 132 miles and 11,000 feet of climbing.

This was the longest and toughest ride I had ever done, but I drew mental strength from my friend, who I believe was looking down on me. Crossing the finish line was a great feeling, I had slayed the dragon and raised a good sum of money to help support people living with cancer, these people can feel very isolated, lonely and frightened. Thinking about their situations made me realise that my suffering on the ride was the least I could do to help make a small difference.

It is coming back to cycling after cancer and 8 cycles of chemotherapy.

Shaun James, UK

Returning to cycling after suffering 7 cardiac arrests in the space of 48 hours and having the confidence to achieve decent distances with the defibrillator in my chest.

Liz Brown, USA

Accomplishing my longest ride (73 miles) in less than a year of starting cycling, but moreso that I was able to do it with my wife who has been so supportive and has given me the confidence to push myself and truly love this sport.

Philippe Dransart, France

It was the Normandicat 400, my longest trip, with a full night on the bike. Great memory ! The big surprise is that I have found this too short.

Katharina Sistemich, Germany

My biggest cycling achievement over the last Year is the Paris Brest Paris Ride in August 2023 with 1230 km. It was my longest ride and while I was riding, it was a torture, but nevertheless it created beautiful memories. It's an atmosphere unbelievable, 8000 riders, the people in the villages who decorated the streets, who give you water, coffee, Crepes,... it's really cute. So I think it's my biggest achievement, with the most beautiful and hurtful memories ;)

Chris Rowlands, UK

Just getting back on the bike after my second bout with covid left me breathlessness for over 6 months.

Everything was chore and even climbing stairs needed rest. Zwift and LC_CC community and club rides helped me to get back to it slowly and steadily with tonnes of great chat, banter and ride leaders that really took the edge trying to on my own. Can't thank any of them enough.

Anthony Oldfield, UK

I completed the Le Col 8,848 and base camp challenges (â€¦ and the festive 500) in 2023. I am also doing the Le Col 8,848 challenge again in June as well as the weekly workouts with Chris Opie on Zwift and will be joining my fellow Le Colsters on a Group ride in the Surrey Hills in September 2024 (IRL).

Frann Leff. UK

I'm a breeze leader (help women get cycling) and I took 5 of my lovely ladies, who cycle for pleasure, to Women v Cancer Ride the Night. It's 100k around London at night. I was so proud of them committing to training and enjoying the night! I was a proud mother hen.

Helen Chapman, France

At age 58 , and only starting road cycling in my late 40's , I trained for and completed Trans-Pyrennes- over 800 Km with nearly 16,000 m climbing- an amazing adventure.

Brittani Flowers, USA

I was diagnosed with lupus at 15. In 2020 I had a bilateral thyroidectomy. Exercise, fitness, stamina and energy have always been a huge issue for me! Over the past year I have worked hard on losing almost 100lbs and building my stamina. Yesterday I completed my first 3.5mi. I use to be unable to make it one city block! I am so proud of myself and canâ€™t wait to keep going!!

Claire Gordon, UK

Learning how to gravel bike and coming 2nd in my first gravel race!

Trina Elkington, UK

Riding 40km with a cafe stop in the middle with my partner in the sunshine this Spring. I became disabled from a foot trauma in late 2022 and being unable to walk more than a few meters unaided and experiencing foot pain all the time my ability to ride gets worse each week. 40km might not sound much to most LC CC members (and it wouldn't have sounded much to me prior to my foot trauma) but to me it's a really big deal. I cannot express the joy I have gotten from cycling since I took up regular riding in 2012, and to have that taken away from me unexpectedly was like a bereavement. Mentally I had been very depressed and unwell. But riding changes all that. Doing that ride gave me just the most amazing sense of joy and wellbeing. And the coffee? Well, let's just say I've never had one that tasted so good !
