Longer term professional impact study
We have been seeking feedback from professionals who have been training with us about the impact of I Matter Training on their professional approach - we have had feedback from Teachers, GPs, Social workers and Teaching Assistants.
Day 9: Language matters
Leicester to Northampton via Market Harborough
The rain had stopped and the clothes mostly dried out as we prepared to leave Leicester.
The gradients had also flattened and this was to be a days riding along long straight paths with some unexpectedly challlenging off roading across fields of ripening wheat and down paths that were probably not intended for cyclicsts.
So what exactly do you call an old railway line that is now being used as a cycle path? Surely there should be some sort of collecti…

Day 8: Thinking back and thinking forwards
Derby to Leicester via Loughborough
Today it rained - a lot - with a lot of wind - and so we set off in rain gear and travelled by Route 6 cycle way but we arrived in Loughborough VERY soggy. We ate a lovely lunch with Loughborough Friends with the room strewn around with drying raincoats and wet puddles gathered under our chairs as shoes and socks continued to drain out. After lunch there was a bit of a break in the rain and most of us were starting to feel much drier until about 40 mins befor…

Day 7: Caring for those we know and those we don't know
Bakewell to Derby
What a beautiful day's cycling - wonderful canal paths, lanes and railway cuttings.
Our morning meeting was very quiet - there is a lovely coming together of the group of riders with the local support - this time of Bakewell Quakers - Friends that we have never met any may never meet again yet they have organised themselves to support us?
How is that some human beings want to care for those who they have never met?
Usually it seems to depend on their ability to recognise that …

Day 6: All age living: Never too old or too young to care
Sheffield to Bakewell
Today was pitched as a gentle day - just 20 miles but we are in the middle of a heat wave and so the temperatures remain high long into the evening when we generally expect cooler times.
However there is something very wonderful about zipping up and down hills with such views all around - it feels a tremendous privilege and opportunity to see the country at a different pace and from a different perspective.
