A journey on 2 wheels
with Kristi Kuldkepp
Cycling isn’t just an activity for me – sport in general, has always been a part of who I am. Having not started cycling until I was 31, I’ve been lucky enough to race professionally as part of amazing teams, and to win a Gran Fondo European Championship. More recently, I also won a European cyclocross championship, too. Over the years that I have been cycling – not only at my home in Estonia, but also in Europe and Belgium in particular – I’ve witnessed the beginning of changes for women’s cycling, which still has a long way to go. I’ve raced with and met some truly inspiring individuals, and I get to travel to race, sharing my cycling life with friends and others.
Women’scycling is developing all the time,and I get to witness this first-hand, riding as a member of the women’s pro peloton. Yes, it’s fair to say that I’m still on an exciting 2 wheeled journey – which I’m lucky enough to be able to share with you all, here on the Pedalnorth website.
Let’s see if we can encourage a few more women to join us on the bike and inspire some future champions!
As women’s cycling assistant editor, I’ll be writing and sharing my thoughts about cycling, women’s cycle racing and the wide and varied tapestry of emotions that cycling brings to me. I’ll also be writing about my cyclocross adventures in the mudfest of this epic sport! Cycling isn’t simply an activity – it’s a way of life, and how we can challenge ourselves to be our best version.
Hopefully, I can inspire you on your own cycling journey and adventures. We can’t necessarily change the world – but we can ride bikes!
