It's on 29th Oct at Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House at 6.45pm. If you live in Edinburgh or nearby, pls come along and share widely. While it's heartbreaking to have said goodbye to Tim, we want to continue his legacy, by sharing stories of cycling and mental health.
Looking forward to being back in Edinburgh at the end of Oct to share the story of our Ride for Tim. We're also hearing from @LifeAfloat & the charity Health in Mind. If you're coming, details are on FB https://t.co/cnPLFFLghA - pls click 'attending' or 'interested' for updates.
