Harriet getting into cycling is the most exciting content GCN has produced in a while. THIS is what cycling should be. Sharing good time, with good friends, and getting more people on bikes. Harriet, coming from an experienced cyclist, you have been doing a phenomenal job. Not many people will ever do 30 miles in their lifetime. You should be proud of yourself, and I hope you continue riding. This is such a heartwarming experience. Manon is such a great riding partner too. Such a good advocate for new cyclists to have a riding partner like you.

Brings me back to my earliest rides. I didn't realize you were supposed to hold the bars anywhere but the drops. We all start somewhere

Honestly 😂 Makes me remember my first ride, just about 10km. Legs were sore for about a week But now I can do a 120km ride and be ready to go again the next day.

Harriet motivated me to go riding this morning. Love seeing the teaching provided to the newer riders, and watching them react. Good reminder of what it's like to be a new rider. Harriet is great, and it's awesome to see her point out what she feels she needs to work on. Congrats on riding 30miles.

Great job Harriet! I also love that you’re wearing what looks like a MTB helmet. I love them too.
