Boru McCullagh on riding around the world for mental health

Matt Stephens chats to Boru McCullagh about his incredible bikepacking trip around the globe. When he started out, Boru had a fixed route and planned to ride as quickly as possible, but he soon realised that was not the way he needed to do things. In this podcast he explains to Matt how his outlook on bike riding changed when he realised the bike was the means of experiencing the world, and not solely the experience itself. A fascinating chat with a unique young athlete that has some sage advice for all of us.  To donate to Boru’s fundraising page for MIND mental health charity, visit this link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mindmapping This podcast deals with themes of depression and suicide.
