UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH Claire
Riding Highlights
The Komoot women’s rallies have all been amazing. The last one I went on was in Arizona and I made some incredible friends in a truly beautiful place. Can’t forget the Torino Nice Rally will always be one of the hardest and most fun rides of my life.
Favourite outdoor space in UK:
So many to choose but I’m going to keep it broad and say Wales, it’s so close and so varied with some of my favourite places to ride
When I’m not riding:
I’m planning talks, workshops and events for All Terre Adventures…so still bikes!
Riding to do list:
Bikepack in the Dolomites, do more MTB Cross Country racing, MTB in Utah…so many!
