Endurance cycle coach, Alison Wood challenges bias in so many ways, and has done throughout her life.
Of mixed race heritage, she was raised in Essex/London by a white mother within a stones throw of the British National Front headquarters.
We chat about her upbringing and experience of always being the non-white face in her family and enviromment.
Her grandmother wanted her to be a dancer, which she did until her twenties.
Perhaps this meant that she was well equipped to be the only non-white woman in cycling, when she came to this relatively late in life in her 30s.
We chat about how she discovered cycling and made this into a coaching career, following a degree in Cycling Performance.
Plus, her mission to empower more women of colour through cycling.
In her words, "I'm on a mission to disrupt the status quo by encouraging, supporting and empowering women, people of colour and marginalised genders to set themselves audacious cycling goals.'
She chats about her work coaching for the Ultra Distance Cycling Scholarship which supports women cycling the Pan Celtic Race Series.
Plus, her own race plans for 2022.
