CALGARY - Clara Hughes rode her bike 11,000 kilometres for 110 days around Canada to get people talking about mental illness. Shes pleased the documentary Claras Big Ride isnt just about her.A one-hour television special chronicling her journey airs Wednesday on CTV and will also be available all day on CTV.ca and CraveTV. It could have been all about cycling through hard crosswinds, driving snow and exhaustion from March 11 to July 1, 2014.But Hughes instead provides the thread between stories told by Canadians affected by mental illness: a teacher who has depression, anxiety and panic attacks; a university student who attempted suicide; a community worker in northern Canada trying to prevent youth suicide; a soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder.Hughes, winner of six Olympic medals in cycling and speed skating, was to join them in Toronto on Tuesday for a special screening of the documentary.Of course it brings back so many emotions of what that ride was, she told The Canadian Press.What I like the most about it, and what I think people will be very surprised at, is most of it is not actually about riding a bike. Its not about me. Its about 10 different stories along the way of predominantly younger Canadians and what their struggle was, what their story is.Its been almost seven months since the 42-year-old from Winnipeg concluded her epic ride on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. She participated in 235 events in 105 communities.Hughes feels she achieved her goal of starting a conversation about mental illness and removing the fear of talking about it.But she sees Canadas health system and how it treats mental illness as another mountain to be climbed. A woman struggling with an eating disorder says in the documentary that she was told by her doctor to just eat something.Another with depression says she was told by her physician to not talk about it because people would judge her.What Im seeing is we have a big problem in that the system is not there, and if it is there, it is not yet trusted for people to reach to, Hughes said.The conversation is stimulated and people are really reaching out more and more and more, but what is there for them to reach out to? This is the reality. This is a big problem to be solved.Hughes became a spokesperson for the Bell Lets Talk campaign because of her own experience with depression.The documentary does address the rides physical and mental toll on Hughes, who internalized inspiring and heartbreaking stories she heard from people along the way.She sometimes rode 200 kilometres in a day. Hughes relied on husband Peter Guzman, who rode with her, and a support team to help her to the finish line.That exhaustion that was briefly shown was an every single day reality probably for the last 85 days of the ride, Hughes said.So the woman who says movement is my medicine has chosen to process and reflect on her ride by embarking on another long-distance journey.Hughes and Guzman hiked 850 kilometres of the Appalachian Trail from Dec. 3 to Jan. 12 and winter-camped along the way. They intend to return to the trail in February and eventually complete the 3,746-kilometre trek that traverses 14 U.S. states.To be in such a public position for 110 days was something that I didnt know and hadnt experienced before, so quite honestly it took an 850-kilometre very quiet hike with Peter to let it all settle in and connect back with myself, Hughes explained.I always try to go back to something that allows me to struggle and allows me to endure and allows me to feel just a very silent satisfaction of having gotten through.

Their fierce rivalry often produces clashes off the field, too, and only 400 Lyon fans will travel to the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium on Sunday night.Unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions, Les Verts will be seeking their first home win in the topflight against Lyon in 20 years.Here are some things to know ahead of this weekends matches:___STRATEGIC HEADACHEThe appointment of Marcelo Bielsa as Marseille coach has been decisive in the teams resurgence this season.Lacking the millions invested in Paris Saint-Germain by its Qatari owners, the Argentine coach is compensating with strong discipline and astute strategic decisions.This season, Marseille played most of his games in a 3-3-3-1 system, with striker Andre-Pierre Gignac scoring 11 of his teams 30 goals. Ahead of Nantes visit to the Stade Velodrome on Friday, Bielsa is thinking about starting with two strikers, Gignac and Michy Batshuayi.The problem is when you play with two No. 9s, one of them has to play further down the pitch and on the sides, Bielsa said. And he will play worse than usual. On the other hand, it can happen that the addition of the two has a positive impact on the teams overall performance.The former Argentina coach said that this aspect of the game has been troubling him for years.I started to think about it 15 years ago, when I had (Hernan) Crespo and (Gabriel) Batistuta under me, Bielsa said. Its not an easy decision to take.___LILLE IN CRISISWith only three more points than the relegation-threatened teams and the worse offensive record in the leaague, Lille is in tatters.ddddddddddddBecause of the Davis Cup final held in the northern French city last weekend, Rene Girards side has not played since a 2-0 loss at Reims on Nov. 9 and its most recent win dates back to the end of September.We need to find a solution. I hope this break will have done us some good because the last month and a half has been very difficult, Lille midfielder Rio Mavuba said.The problem for Lille, which is also involved in a tiring Europa League campaign and claimed only one win in its last 12 matches, is that the club is now facing a run of tough encounters before the winter break. First comes a trip to Bordeaux on Sunday before matches with leader Paris Saint-Germain and rival Lens in the northern derby.I think we can come through this run of games better off than we were before, Mavuba said. At the moment I am not worried but we know it will be difficult.___KURZAWAS BOTCHED TRIPHighly-praised Monaco left back Layvin Kurzawa could hit the Premier League sooner than expected.The 22-year-old France international travelled to Manchester earlier this week to attend Citys Champions League match against Bayern Munich as a guest of the English champions. But according to LEquipe newspaper, a last-minute intervention from his club prevented him from watching the game form the stands and Kurzawa saw on it on TV in a hotel room.Kurzawa did not play in Monacos 1-0 win at Bayer Leverkusen and will not make the squad for Saturdays match at Rennes because of a hamstring injury that will sideline him until January.___MOTTA AND SILVA BACKAfter sitting out PSGs 3-1 win against Ajax in Champions League because of leg injuries, Thiago Silva and Thiago Motta returned to training ahead of Saturdays game against Nice.Mottas return will bring some relief to coach Laurent Blanc after his teams frailties in midfield were exposed against the Dutch side.Thats the second time weve been behind (Ajax) in terms of possession. They played better football than us, Blanc said. We know that were not dominating teams at the moment. You have to analyze and try to understand why.
