Currently, he\u2019s training for this event while also juggling a busy job as a\u00a0Stroke Medicine Consultant at the Royal Victoria Infirmary.<\/p>\n<p><strong> So first of all, with a busy life, what made you want to do this 300 mile cycle? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I decided to do the London \u2013 Paris Cycle Challenge in May to support the BridgingStroke Charity who do a lot of great work in the hospital I work at. It is an iconic and popular cycling challenge which most people would understand, and involves riding a distance of about 300 miles. I am doing it during some of my annual leave time. I\u2019m hoping I help the charity\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/oops?aspxerrorpath=\/Omar-https:\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/Omar-Hossain&amp;errormessage=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fundraising efforts<\/a> so they can provide equipment for patient care that cannot be bought from existing budgets.<\/p>\n<p><strong> As a doctor, I presume you juggle working shifts and weekend work. How do you have time to train? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Training has been more erratic than I would like. It has to be worked around weekend on calls. Now that the days are longer, waking early\u00a0on weekdays, maybe at 04:30 hrs, to go cycling before work is something I attempt when I can. I usually get home too late from work to do any useful cycling then. I am a keen cyclist but one still needs to build stamina for multi-day events, in this case cycling roughly 70-75 miles a day for 4 consecutive days. You cannot afford to be flexible about training, so you need to stick to the schedule made. Weekday on calls do take a toll on this. Training teaches dedication and a desire to improve your abilities in all areas. You understand that you have to make sacrifices for other gains.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Are there any good training routes you\u2019ve down in and around Newcastle? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I cycle in Northumbria past Newcastle Airport, on the backroads. This takes me to Newton and places where there is little traffic and rolling hills. I also like the routes from Newcastle to Belsay on the backroads. Winters Gibbet at Elsdon is a good challenge but very windy. These are largely 30-40 mile loops.<\/p>\n<p><strong> What Bikes do you have? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have been a customer of the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/our-shops\/newcastle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Newcastle branch <\/a> \u00a0of Edinburgh Bicycle for a number of years.\u00a0My favourite cycles are my Koga World Traveller and\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/genesis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Genesis <\/a> \u00a0Croix De Fer, acquired from\u00a0this branch\u00a0in 2006 and 2013 respectively. However, I will not be using either of these cycles in order to avoid the possibility of damage during transit such as the Eurostar journey back. For this challenge, I will use either my Genesis Zero Z1 (bought through the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/cycle-to-work-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Cyclescheme <\/a> \u00a0from your Newcastle store) or my Trek Domane (aluminium disc brake\u00a0version) \u2013 serviced at your Newcastle store, if the weather looks as if it is going to be poor.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/3416_2402_0392_bike-maintenance.jpg\" alt=\"bike-maintenance.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you trust us with your bikes? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have all my services in Newcastle at the Edinburgh Cycles store.
