The Sisterhood - with Sarah King & Holly Winstone
Talk No 3 - Women's Bike Racing.
Empowering female riders, Breaking down barriers. Growing the sport
Sarah and Holly are reluctant leaders in the world of UK women's bike racing.
Sarah is the founder and Team Principal of London Academy. A new kind of women's racing team that Cyclefit was keen to support when ex-Bianchi professional rider, Sarah approached us. London Academy is a mentor-led bridgehead that powers women forward from having an interest in competitive, to wherever their drive and talent can take them. One of Sarah's riders, Katy Hill, left at the end of the summer for a full-time racing career in France!

Holly - gravel, international racer x 1
"1 X is not just about gearing preference - it is a racing life-style"
1 X & The Power Of The Collective
Project Holly
The International gravel racing scene reminds us of professional mountain-biking in the late 1980's and 90's. Lots of talented individuals who are living and racing as one person teams and brands. 1 X is not just about gearing preference, it is a racing necessity.
We have known Holly for a while as a graphic designer and brand ambassador for Quoc shoes, and we have been impressed with how her results in big gravel races have been steadily improving. Project Holly is to see what happens if we devote the same level of support that we give the professional riders and teams that we work with (and London Academy), to Holly. Can we help Holly close that small gap that takes her to the top step of the podium in major international gravel races? We will be supporting Holly with a bike and equipment, bike-fitting and performance physiology (testing, coaching & nutrition) with Dr Jon Baker.
You can race as a team. But there will be a point...
... when you suffer alone. Iona and Holly finding the line.
