Roopam Carroll - Cycling

Roopam Carroll has recently taken part in Nottingham Girls Cycle's Couch to 20K programme, aimed at giving new or uncertain cyclists the confidence to get on their bikes.

"I have found this life-changing. I was feeling physically rubbish and unable to exercise due to bad knees, an operation last summer and various health issues. I live next to Attenborough Nature Reserve and hadn't been able to enjoy it for a couple of years due to difficulty walking. Now I have been zipping around on my bike, exploring and having fun. I really feel that I have found freedom and a new lease of life. I have started cycling to work - which has always felt unattainable. I have now discovered a sustainable form of exercise that I can and already have built into my life. I cannot express my thanks enough. I have been supported, encouraged and believed in. I have a new set of lovely friends. Thank you Cath and the rest of the team for this."
