Le Col x Hayden Groves: Recipes to Keep You in the Saddle

At 16, I was balancing bike races with long shifts in professional kitchens, unknowingly shaping a life driven by two passions: cycling and cooking. After winning National Chef of the Year in 2013, I thought I’d left competitive cycling behind, but in 2015, I joined Geoff Thomas’ charity team to ride the Tour de France route ahead of the pros, raising money for CureLeukaemia. That ride reignited my love for the bike, and two years later, I completed all three Grand Tours—over 10,000 kilometers —fuelling my book Back in the Saddle, which won two World Gourmand Awards and raised £100,000 more for the cause. Eight Grand Tours and £250,000 later, I’m still combining my love for food, cycling, and giving back, proving that passion and purpose can take you anywhere.
