Freelance Writer

As someone who has grown up immersed in the cycling community, Amy has a deep knowledge of the sport. Based in Portsmouth, she began racing track aged 7 and as her love for it grew, at 21, she now competes to a high level in various disciplines, eg. Cyclocross, Road/crit racing, MTB XC and Gravel, racing the CX season for Montezuma's Race Team and throughout the summer racing for the London-based team TEKKERZ CC. Coming from a very intense racing background, she has newly discovered the gravel and off-road bikepacking scene. Amy would love to travel the world more with her bike, so is keen to dip into this newer side of cycling and see what the hype is about. Alongside pushing for a career in cycling, she writes articles for her website based around being an athlete and the racing she does. As a result, she has discovered her love for writing and content creation.
