Ten years ago, Emma rode a local mountain biking trail for the first time. She was hooked on the feeling of exhilaration that she experienced. Now she combines working at Swansea University with MTB leadership and trail maintenance with the Afan Trail volunteers. 

Emma is one of the three inspirational women behind Sisters of Send, a festival aimed at supporting and encouraging women of all backgrounds and abilities into mountain biking. 

“I ride for fun, friendship and fresh air. I love how bikes connect me to my community and environment.”
