  • Zoe Allsop Hi, I'm Zoe and I've been cycling all my life! It's a bit of a passion/obsession! I used to be a sponsored cross-country mountain bike racer as a Junior, but since then work/kids/life has forced racing to take a back seat. I'm a British Cycling Level 2 Go-Ride Coach though, so I get my racing fix when the young people I coach cycling with go racing. Hooray! In my spare time I just try to ride as much as I can, both off and on-road. My kids (7 and 3) and my husband (he asked me not to put his age!) all love riding their bikes too, so that helps! Hope to see you on a ride soon :-)
