Year you joined Saint Piran: Officially 2022 however I’ve been working in the background since grassroots

What does a day in your life at Saint Piran look like? Day to day I assist with the running of Saint Piran as a whole, from sponsor meetings and PR work to general admin duties. When we’re racing I am responsible for the Women's Team alongside the Team Manager, Jenny. I manage the team during the race, and it’s my job to come up with a tactical plan that will maximise the potential of the team and deliver the best results. On race days I will brief the team of the days strategy, warn the riders of obstacles or challenging terrain that they need to be aware and make sure everyone is where they need to be at a given time. During the race I then drive the team car in the race convoy with the mechanic and spare bikes, wheels, also spare water bottles, food and medical equipment and provide mechanical help when needed.

Favourite Saint Piran Memory: 2021 - Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain in Penzance. Seeing the crowds lining the streets of our home county and cheering the team was breathtaking and an amazing feeling knowing I was part of it!
