Rhian Atherton
Living in a quaint village surrounded by Shropshire’s rolling hills, Rhian is usually found exploring on the gravel bike or shredding her full-suspension machine a bike park, finishing in the cafe to sample the coffee and cake. She still enjoys dipping her toe in racing, even after 29 years. Rhian has a BA Hons in Sports Journalism, and a passion for writing and sharing her knowledge that has seen her contribute to Bike Perfect, Cyclist, off.road.cc and other international cycling websites.
