Saz procrastinated in writing this profile by going on a bike ride instead, which probably tells you all you need to know. Saz has been cycling all their life, 'encouraged' to help at triathlon events by their Dad before deciding to give it a go themselves. From triathlon, she dabbled in mountain-biking, crit-racing, gravel-riding and road-racing, and has just started exploring ultra-distance bikepacking.

Mushy peas and chippy teas
This year, Saz participated in both All Points North and then the simply epic Transcontinental Race, and loved the adventure and solitude that comes from cycling such extreme distances. It was for these races she got her Kinesis G2, which is now lovingly titled Mushy Peas after noticing the similarities in colour during a (slightly delirious) chippy stop during an audax.

Next stop: medical school
Saz is also involved in cycling activism, joining community groups in order to campaign for better cycling infrastructure and increase WTNB (women, trans, non-binary) representation in cycle events. Saz's next big challenge is getting through medical school, but rest assured she’ll still be finding lots of exciting things to do on bikes!
