Elle Linton started cycling as a way of commuting to work in London.

So when a friend suggested they cycled to Richmond Park just to 'cycle round and round,' she thought it was a crazy idea. 'Why ride round in a circle?' 

Despite the punctures enroute, she discovered a love of cycling for the community, being able to explore and a way of getting fit.

So much so, she set up her own women's cycling group to inspire others - and so she had a group of women to spin with right from her front door.

Now, an ambassador for Liv Cycling UK, Elle has discovered a passion for cycle-cross - ' The Tough Mudder of riding,' as she calls it.

Listen to her inspiring podcast about what makes her tick - and what she hasn't quite mastered when it comes to cycling.

Plus being a black woman in cycling and the health and fitness space as a fitness trainer with her popular website, www.keepitsimpelle.com.
