In today's edition, we have the honour of recounting the remarkable journey of an exceptional individual, James Golding. James' narrative unfolds as a tale of exceptional courage and unwavering determination, navigating through life-altering trials and emerging with a revitalised sense of purpose. At the age of 28, James confronted a reality that many of us can scarcely fathom – a battle with cancer that compelled him to face his own mortality. Amidst the depths of this challenging ordeal, he discovered a guiding light of hope and recovery through cycling. Transitioning from relearning to walk to achieving ambitious cycling milestones, James' odyssey stands as a testament to the indomitable resilience of the human spirit.

Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Owen Vermeulen, a remarkable individual who successfully transformed his life after battling with substance abuse. His journey began with an introduction to recovery at the age of 18, but despite a promising career in professional skateboarding, he found himself ensnared by addiction once again. During our conversation, we will explore how cycling emerged as a guiding light for Owen, becoming a pivotal force in his sustained recovery. We'll delve into his distinctive encounters in gravel cycling, including his recent participation in a challenging 8-day gravel race in Colombia. Owen will share insights on rebuilding relationships that were impacted by addiction, and he'll offer a message of hope to those navigating their own paths to recovery.
