Not every journey to a dream starts on the Mountain Course - and not every hero in the paddock wears leathers.
In this episode of Journey to a Dream, the spotlight shifts to two important people behind the scenes: the biker mums.
Catriona McIntosh Thomson and Jayne Simpson are known around the paddock as the mums of Grant Thomson and Marcus Simpson, but their role in road racing goes far beyond that.
They talk openly with Beth about what it’s like when your child chooses road racing, the nerves that never quite go away, the early mornings, the overflowing trophy cabinets and the unwavering support it takes to help someone else chase a dream.
Honest, funny, and relatable, this episode is a reminder that while riders take to the course alone, they never get there on their own.
It would great if you could follow the riders on social media - your support makes such a difference. Grant is on Facebook and Instagram and you can find Marcus on Facebook and Instagram too. You can find details about their supporters clubs here too.
