The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It’s hosted by Liv Bolton.

Are you desperate to go on more outdoors adventures but feel like you never have enough time?

Vicky Balfour’s story might just be the spark of inspiration you’re looking for!

Vicky lives in Kent and is an avid mountain biker, bike mechanic, writer, special needs parent and founder of Vicky Bikes, her business offering bike mechanic and cycling sessions.

Her mission is “to enable people of all ages and backgrounds to find pockets of adventure within the boundaries of everyday life.”

Listen to the episode to find out her tips for adding more adventure into your weekly routine. You’ll also hear why she moved from city PR to mountain biking and setting up her own biking business, as well as how nature and being outdoors helped her through a very difficult couple of decades in her life.

Vicky took me mountain biking in the Kent countryside for this episode and we recorded it in the middle of a wood! It was such a great morning and an absolute highlight of my years recording The Outdoors Fix.

She shares her tips for mountain biking routes and getting outdoors at the end of the episode, so make sure you don’t miss her advice. There’s also a minute of the sounds of nature at the end for a little bit of escapism in your busy day.

I hope you enjoy the episode and please feel free to rate and review it, or tell your friends about it!
