It was whilst I was out enjoying the local gravel trails after the birth of my son that I stumbled across a sign. On it was a map that referenced the Munich to Venice long-distance bike route. Without further thought, I snapped a quick photo and tried to contain a shiver of excitement at discovering our next cycling adventure.
In the sport of women's cyclocross, one name was guaranteed to strike fear into the hearts of competitors both here in the UK and abroad. The greatest UK cross rider of her generation, Helen Wyman amassed no less than 10 x National and 2 x European titles between 2006 and 2015. Today, Helen is a Coach, Mentor, Advocate, and Cycling Mum. Oh and a Ribble ambassador for the CGR AL e all-road e-bike. An electric bike, we hear you gasp? We'll let Helen fill you in.
