Please welcome Jackie Scully to the podcast hot seat.

Jackie is about to undertake a Guinness World Record Cycling Attempt next weekend and I caught up with her with just over a week to go!

Having battled major hip surgery and breast cancer, she has quite a unique perspective on how to tackle big challenges.

It’s her 40th birthday next month and is making sure it’s a party with a purpose https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/partywithapurpose

It's been a while coming (as you will see by our attire!) due to technical issues and then life getting busy, but finally I present to you Jen Forrester. Please listen, like and share!

When two friends get chatting about cycling in lockdown it's going to be a long one! Bike packing in France and Spain is the big topic in this interview, but we also talk cyclocross racing and how a life changing medical diagnosis shifted Jen's outlook on life and the decisions she makes. So line up a nice long static bike workout and tune in!

Apologies for the radio silence - such nice weather has meant lots of cycling and outdoor activities. The next episode is recorded and ready to edit so will be released in the next few weeks. In the meantime I hope everyone is enjoying cycling and life in general, wherever in the world you are.

I present to you HELEN WYMAN! Was rather star struck interviewing this legend, but she was awesome and fabulous to talk to. Please listen, like and share!

10 time National and 2 time European Cyclocross Champion, Helen Wyman, gives a unique insight into Cyclocross and how it's changed over the last couple of decades. After talking a bit about her life now living in European, our chat then moves on to the world of competitive Cyclocross, why whether or not you have a p***s shouldn't impact where you can park at races and how she's been an advocate for change at UCI policy level. We also hear about the Helen 100 and why change has been so timely and essential for the sport.

FEEDBACK REQUIRED!

So we are now 5 episodes in and I was hoping to get some feedback as to what you like and what you don’t like. I want this podcasts to reach as wide an audience as possible and be so good you just have to tell your friends about them.

So please help me out and feedback. PM is fine or in comments below.
I’m pretty thick skinned so please be honest.

Do you think they are too short or too long? Do you like the video version or is audio sufficient?
What about guests? Do you want grass roots cyclists, professionals or those who have done something extraordinary?

All constructive feedback gratefully received.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm very excited that this is the last weekend before restrictions begin to be lifted and I've certainly got some fun cycling with friends lined up for next week. It's been a long few months but with the clocks changing on Sunday too (don't forget!) hopefully everyone has lots of spring/summer fun to look forward to. Happy Friday everyone :)
