Womens participation

Over the past decade I’ve been involved in womens participation across a range of projects and there is nothing that I feel more passionate about that enabling women to get to the start line of their first race.

As an elite rider on teamLDN I helped coach and mentor riders in person as part of a scheme to get women to try their first crit race. I hold similar pre-race cyclocross coaching sessions at race venues to de-mystify racing and make courses less scary.

For 2027 I’m working with Rob Gardiner and the The Perfidious Albion to get more women onto the start line of ultra races, possibly the most daunting of all events for women to sign up to given the time needed for training, the event itself and to feel safe and confident out on the course.

I’ll be hosting a chat group for women and other marginalised gender entrants to share knowledge and create community before the event as well as hosting webinars where we can delve into training, kit and other topics whilst they are getting ready for the event.
