S1 E9 Our new podcast host - Vera Ngosi-Sambrook!

Written By Guest User

Vera has an incredible set of achievements both on and off the bike, from 9-5 she works as a mechanical engineer and in her free time you will see her doing everything on two wheels, for mountain biking, endurance racing, bikepacking and even regularly riding a tandem bike….  There’s nothing that she can not do…

Vera caught the bug for cycling four years ago when taking part in a tandem charity ride. With group rides paused in 2020, Vera became more independent and through Instagram she connected with the Women of Colour Cycling Collective. In 2021 she was awarded the Ultra Distance Scholarship aimed at increasing representation of BAME cyclists.

We talk about Vera’s journey into cycling and experiences in self- supported ultra distance cycling, including taking part in the Pan Celtic race and more recently the Dorset Divide.
