| Who taught you how to ride a bike/ got you into the sport of cycling? | My dad, Alistair taught me to ride a road bike, but my bestie, Tammy Tabeek, taught me how to ride a mountain bike. She was the Master's Downhill World Champion so she knows a thing or two about hurling yourself down a mountain on 2.2 inches of rubber. She's got mad skills. I fell in love with the dirt from rides with her. |
|---|
| Have you taught anyone how to ride a bike or introduced someone to the sport? | My goal is to get road triathletes to experience the off-road version of our sport, so I'm always trying to convince the athletes I coach to give the dirt a try! |
|---|
| How do you plan to pass on your love of cycling in 2019 and beyond? | I would love to start or join a charity to get young girls into the sport. Empowering young women to focus on what their bodies can DO rather than what they LOOK LIKE is a huge passion of mine. |

| Words you live by... | Embrace the fear and jump anyway. |
