Amy and Kyle have credited cycling as a transformative hobby in their lives.
Amy has previously struggled with an eating disorder and mental health challenges, while Kyle overcame a difficult upbringing that included periods of homelessness, before finding direction through cycling and supporting Amy on her own journey.
“This challenge is about more than just breaking a record,” said Amy.
“Cycling has saved my life, and we want to use this platform to inspire others and raise awareness for mental health.”
Amy completed her own version of the Tour de France last year and will transfer what she learnt from that challenge around the globe.
“Last year’s Tour de France challenge pushed me hard, but this is going to be about finding the limit of what is possible,” she said.
Kyle said the challenge would test the pair mentally, both individually and as a couple.
“We’ll be drawing on everything we’ve been through and leaning on our resilience together,” added Kyle.
“There will be tough moments, no doubt, but that’s exactly where we do our best.”
