5 Questions with Tracy

How did you first get into Mountain Biking?

I grew up on a dairy farm so had a great playground for bikes growing up. When I was about 13 my elder brother started going to some mountain bike races and quicky I followed after he encouraged me to give it a go !

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone starting out?

Try and find a local cycling club or social group that rides regularly that you can join...its such a social sport and always good to be with others when you start, so they can help and take care of you. Always build up the level of difficulty gradually, ”look before you leap” and seek out some coaching to help master the basics first.

What’s been the most challenging moment in your journey so far?

Injuries… missing the World Champs in 2004 and breaking my wheel at World Champs in 2006.

What’s been the most rewarding?

Being part of the journey of Mountain bike racing from its early days to see where it is at now, the professionalism, development and most exciting more and more women involved at every level in the sport.

What’s one thing people might not expect about life as a pro/adventurer?

The sacrifices you make in all areas of life, being away from home for long periods, missing friends parties, birthdays and family gatherings, choosing food and sleep over indulgence and late nights and specialising often in one sport from an early age, therefore missing out on a broad experience of life…but I would change it for the world as I love the journey and discipline and respect sport and adventure can teach you.
