Leigh’s Speaker Bio
A summary of Leigh’s journey so far, his expertise, and the unique value he brings to an audience.
-
It’s my pleasure to welcome to our event Leigh Timmis; an ultra-endurance cyclist, whose journey is nothing short of remarkable.
From a seven-year solo cycle around the world, to breaking two world records - including a 2,230-mile ride in just seven days, through the devastating winds of Hurricane Nicole - his achievements are awe-inspiring.
But behind the records, Leigh has faced moments of profound challenge. Burnout and depression brought him to rock bottom, and it was through rebuilding himself from the inside out that he discovered the true power of mindset, resilience, and purpose.
Today, Leigh shares not just the story of physical triumph, but of the human spirit; how setbacks can become breakthroughs, how mental strength transforms performance, and how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results.
Please join me in welcoming Leigh Timmis.
