Viewers know Gordon Ramsay as the intense culinary force on Hell’s Kitchen and MasterChef. But few know about his obsession with long-distance cycling and meditation.
Every Sunday, wherever he is in the world, Ramsay sets aside two hours for a solo bike ride—no phone, no entourage. “It’s where I find my balance,” he explained in a recent interview. “That’s the Gordon most people never meet.”
It’s not just a hobby. Ramsay credits cycling for helping him manage anger, stress, and grief—particularly after losing close friends during the pandemic. The practice has become so essential that his show schedules now build in bike time during travel days.
