A midlife cyclist : my two-wheel journey to heal a broken mind and find joy

Cullen, Rachel Ann2020
Books
This is a tale of two wheels - across the Yorkshire Dales, Vietnam, Costa Rica and beyond - and a rider in search of peace. Rachel is a cyclist. But she was never meant to be. After gaining mental strength and healing through running, she thought she was free. Her depression alleviated, she came off Prozac, winning races and collecting medals at marathons. But when injury stopped the only thing helping to quiet the voices in her brain, Rachel finds out what she is truly made of. As body dysmorphia began to grip her in earnest, she knew she had to find a different way to kick her mental health demons for the sake of her sanity. So, she went down to her cellar, heaved out her old bike, and started pedalling. Like her life depended on it.
