Do you know someone who suffers from depression, anxiety or loneliness, or has done in the recent past? . Ask them how they’re doing and how their day has been from time to time. . You may feel weird doing it, but it could make their day. Small gestures make big differences. . #mentalhealthawarenessday #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #eatingdisorderawareness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthday #worldsmentalhealthday
Thanks Harrogate, it was fun. Had an ace week covering the World Champs for @velonews, half the time on the ground, the rest at the VeloNews UK HQ (my flat). Saw some awesome racing, interviewed some incredible riders, met lots of inspiring journos. Thanks to Hoody and Fred from Velonews for the advice and support along the way - couldn’t ask for better tutors. P.S. I don’t have alien head really. . #mountainmutton . #yorkshire2019 #uciworldchampionships #velonews #roadworldchampionships #cycling #roadcycling #cyclinglife #instacycling #journolife #journalism #yorkshire
Three hours on the bench with the man @daniqueipo today. Thank you Dani for being a genius, and for being gentle.🙏 . One bottle of coke, one banana, three podcasts, one tool album, and one deftones album were consumed during the making of this tattoo. . Several beers and the best burger ever were consumed shortly after. Thank you big sister for being ace.

Here’s my latest feature for @cyclingweeklymagazine, about maintaining bike-life balance and keeping. perspective. It was one of the toughest pieces I’ve written for the mag, due to both the highly personal insight and headspace I was in at the time, and the challenge of finding the appropriate tone and content. Big thanks to @lachlanmorton, @alexfalkeman, & @_chris_herbert_ for discussing some difficult issues with me for the story. It’s in this week’s mag. Have a read. ✌️ . #mountainmutton . #cycling #cyclinglife #cyclingweekly #strava #lifebehindbars #cyclist #running #endurancesports #freelance #contentwriter #fitness #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #eatingdisorderawareness @ef.educationfirst.procycling
Feel like an angst-ridden teenage weirdo at the moment so re-reading this seems appropriate. Scared a few of the village pensioners as I sat on the green too. Bonus. . #catcherintherye #teenageangst #mandalatattoo #kneetattoo #tattoo #mentalhealthawareness #eatingdisorderawareness
