Chasing your dreams in bike racing isn't easy. Having to travel to do so makes it even harder. But what if you have to travel across oceans in pursuit of your ambitions? Our guests this week, Jen Darmody (Sydney Uni Staminade) and Ali Sheehan (Bianchi Dama Cycling Team) are first timers to the American crit racing scene.

Episode 17: August 27, 2019: Jen Darmody & Ali Sheehan Guest Riders for Butcher Box Cycling

August 27, 2019 by Rob Kelly

A very special bonus episode for Season 1. Like a moth to accents, I was drawn to Jen Darmody (Sydney Uni - Staminade) and Ali Sheehan (Bianchi Dama). After a few minutes I learned that they came all the way from Sydney and the Southwest of England to race the summer crit series as guest riders on Butcher Box Cycling in the US and that got my creative thoughts churning. What makes us, as bike racers, do the daring and and sometimes crazy thing of traveling so far to race our bikes? And what do you learn when you go that far from home? Thankfully Jen and Ali were more than willing to answer all my questions.
