Tom Bourne is the Creative Director of Select First, and the co-founder, along with me of Clerkenwheels.
Just over two weeks since we completed our ride we catch up to wrap up our thoughts on the ride and its impact and discuss, somewhat nostalgically, how two passionate cyclists navigated their journey from Plymouth to London while raising awareness for a worthy cause.
Our journey was made even more special by the support of friends, family, and our wonderful support crew, Toby Kent. Having someone to cheer us on during the toughest moments made all the difference. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who joined us or supported us along the way, particularly our friends from Porto Romano, David Collins Studio, FMS Interiors, HLM Architects, Condor Cycles, Industry Publicity, and the RCA, whose encouragement kept our spirits high.
In this episode, we discover the joys, challenges, and unforgettable moments that made this adventure memorable
The camaraderie of a team and the joy of sharing stories with locals we met along the way
The importance of a cross industry approach to tackle diversity and inclusion
And, if you want to know the secret to Tom's hill-climbing skills. Take a look at his rear cassette.

I want to thank the team from United In Design for supporting our ride, Sophie Ashby and Alex Dorley and behind the scenes, Eman Akbar, who's been working tirelessly to put things in place.
Julienne Webster from Industry Publicity, who's helping us with the marketing and PR of our initiative, and Tom Bourne from Select First, my co-rider for thinking up the idea, coming up with the name and keeping me motivated whilst I try to do my training.
