Dr. Sarah Ruggins' JOGLEJOG Ride: From Paralysis to World Record

What does it take to cycle the entire length of the UK and back — 2,700km in just over five days? For Dr. Sarah Ruggins, it took more than legs of steel. It took vision, grit, and the unshakeable will to turn personal adversity into purpose.
In this powerful episode of Zone2Speak, I sit down with Sarah fresh off her record-breaking LEJOGLEJOG ride. We talk about the physical and emotional depths she had to navigate during this historic effort, the autoimmune condition that once left her unable to walk, and how she transformed pain into power.
We also dive into the critical role of her support crew, her decision to fundraise through the ride, and how she’s using cycling as a tool for impact. Through this journey, Sarah raised awareness and funds for The Bike Project and Bikes for Refugees, two organizations dedicated to providing bikes and mobility to displaced people and refugees rebuilding their lives.
Sarah’s story is a testament to the idea that strength isn’t always about power—it’s about perseverance, purpose, and community.
Whether you're a cyclist, a dreamer, or someone navigating your own comeback, this one’s for you.

Above the Ashes: Kevin Conley Jr. on Riding Across America

Join me in this heartfelt episode as I dive into the inspiring journey of Kevin Conley Jr., a wildland firefighter turned author and long-distance cyclist. Known online as Backcountry Ninjas, Kevin opens up about his darkest moments, including a suicide attempt, and how the simple act of riding a bike became his path to healing.
Kevin’s story is one of deep resilience and courage—riding across the U.S. with his loyal dog Rocky to raise awareness for mental health and support causes like the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. He shares how cycling helped him reconnect with himself and find purpose after trauma, and how he's using his voice to advocate for vulnerability, mental health awareness, and dreaming beyond your limits.
Discover the powerful lessons Kevin shares in his memoir, Above the Ashes, and be inspired by his raw honesty, his love for the open road, and the healing strength of community.
This episode is a reminder of the strength it takes to keep going—and the hope that can be found in even the toughest moments.

Gear Talk 3: Smart Pumps, Layer Hacks & Gravel Tire Debates

Gear Talk is back for Round 3!
In this latest edition of Zone2Speak, I’m joined once again by cycling tech journalist and gear expert Aaron Borrill for a no-nonsense dive into what’s working—and what’s just hype—in the world of cycling tech.
We cover:
Smart pumps: Are they worth it?
Layering for unpredictable rides (and affordable kit that performs)
Tubeless valve upgrades: Must-have or marketing spin?
Gravel tire trends: width, grip, durability—what really matters?
We also explore the performance vs. price debate—when should you splurge, and when can you confidently save?
If you’re gearing up for adventure or just curious about what makes the cut from Cape Epic to coffee rides, this one’s for you.
Let’s talk gear! Let’s get nerdy!
