Sir Chris Hoy
The Sigma Sports Cafe Ride
A man who needs no introduction, Sir Chris Hoy invites Matt Stephens for a day on the trails in a Sigma Sports Café Ride episode like no other. A proud Scotsman and one of Britain’s most successful Olympic athletes of all time, Chris dominated the world of track cycling for 20 years.
However his love for life on two wheels began off-road, and in recent years was firmly rekindled on the trails of Llandegla Forest. With an inspirational outlook on life following his prostate cancer diagnosis two years ago, this is a life affirming day out for two old friends, celebrating the joy of the outdoors and importance of making every second count.
But then…we witness the upstaging of a living legend that only Matt Stephens could deliver, getting involved in a rather unfortunate and humorous incident.
Tour de 4
Following his diagnosis, Chris set up Tour de 4, a charity bike ride created to highlight what life with stage 4 cancer can look like—and to show that it’s possible to live well and find happiness alongside such a challenging diagnosis.
Chris’ vision is to inspire as many people as possible who are living with stage 4 cancer—along with their friends and families—to take part in whatever way they can, raising money for the cancer charities that matter most to them.
Please consider donating or sharing to help spread the word and support people living with stage 4 cancer.
Oneplanet Adventure Mountain Bike Trail Centre
Nestled in the vast Welsh countryside, just west of Wrexham, the Oneplanet Adventure Mountain Bike Trail Centre was the riding location of choice for Chris and Matt.
A playground for those that enjoy the great outdoors, fantastic trails and a fair few challenging routes, the centre is perfect for all levels of experience, from beginners to seasoned mountain bikers.
