Rewriting 2:33: How MS Woke Me Up to the Life I was Meant To Ride

by Cate Green, Clare Reilly (Editor)

When Cate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, life as she knew it began to unravel. What followed was a sudden, frightening paralysis-waking one morning at 2:33 am unable to move her limbs-and a gruelling journey of rehab, resilience, and rediscovery. But instead of giving up, Cate set her sights on something a solo cycling tour across Victoria, with her trusty bike Sheeba. Part memoir, part travelogue, Vic Ride captures the raw truth of life with an invisible disability-physical setbacks, mental battles, moments of profound joy, and the everyday beauty found in wind-blown hills, roadside kindness, and unexpected friendships. With humour, vulnerability, and fierce honesty, Cate shares how every kilometre pedalled became a declaration of hope, strength, and the power of community. This is not just a story about cycling. It's about learning to trust your body again, embracing the unpredictability of illness, and discovering that grace often comes in the most unexpected ways. Vic Ride is an unforgettable ride through pain, purpose, and personal growth.
