Meet Guy Stapleford

I'm Guy, I'm not an athlete or an adventurer; I'm just an ordinary, everyday man.  

I used a personal crossroads in my life to start being the change I wanted to see in myself and the world around me. A bad diet, no exercise and abuse of alcohol created a perfect storm and I ended up in hospital and taking nearly 2 years to fully recover. I started cycling in 2017 as part of the process and found something to be passionate about again - I've taken on some incredible adventures since then and raised over £10,000 for charity in the process.  

I juggle a full-time job where I work away from home a lot, four children and preparing for one of the toughest endurance events in the world, My goal is to race the 3,000-mile Race Across America as a soloist in 2025 - the race runs from Oceanside, California to Atlantic City, New Jersey and must be completed within the 12 day time limit. KitBrix just helps me keep my kit organised when I'm on the road, so I can train wherever I am.
