Richard Coulson 176 Miles Bike Challenge

Whitehaven (on the North West Coast), via Newcastleton in the Scottish Boarders, to Tynemouth over 2 days. Super well done from us all here at ManHealth - Thank you

They did it, all 176 miles from Whitehaven (on the North West Coast), via Newcastleton in the Scottish Boarders, to Tynemouth over 2 days.

'What absolute amazing experience, gruelling, but amazing. I knew the physical challenge was going to be hard… but I wasn’t expecting the mental battle to be so difficult. It was battle against myself for a good 50% of the ride… during the climbs and the rain. Positive memories from my past & childhood fuel my fire… so surprising the affect it had… I ask you to do the same when you’re struggling.' - Richard Coulson

Super well done from us all here at ManHealth - Thank you ????????
