Includes an exclusive interview with the author.

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 antidepressants, winning races and collecting medals at marathons.

But when an injury stopped the only thing helping to quiet the voices in her brain, Rachel found 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.

A Midlife Cyclist is a tale of two wheels, across the Yorkshire Dales, Vietnam,­ Costa Rica and beyond, and a rider in search of peace.

Enjoyed her struggle and therapy. Enjoyed her transition from obsessive runner to equally obsessive cyclist. Reasonable sense of humor. Almost hated her accent... Mostly the pronunciation of y and r. Year, beer, 'A', away, type words just annoy. Also a bit put off by her all consuming self awareness, but I guess that's the point. She eventually likes herself. I do worry about her daughter.
