With the news that a womens’ riding event would be heading to Afan later in the year, we caught up with one of the founders of Sisters of Send for a chat.

Pete had a chat with Jessica Strange, one third of the ladies behind the inaugural Sisters of Send taking place at Afan on the weekend of 16th and 17th May.

Who is Jessica Strange?

I guess I would describe myself as a 30-something-80 year old singleton with two cats, a few bikes and a penchant for being cosy as f*ck.

There’s a children’s book called Jessica Strange, which is about a cat who has an identity crisis because she doesn’t actually know she’s a cat so she spends her time trying to work out who she is. That basically sums it up.

I guess some people know me for being the founder of Velo Me. Some may know me as side-boob snow girl. Others may recognise my singleton plights via my MTB Dating Diaries, and some for being “that girl” who was on GMBN. I really don’t like talking about myself. I like mountain biking and gravel riding and I’m the former editor of Total Women’s Cycling and Red Bull Bike’s social media manager.
