Jenny Tough

Adventurer, endurance bikepacker, author

Jenny – Tough being her real name – started cycling by riding from her hometown Calgary to the Yukon. Since, she has won some of the hardest bikepacking races in the world, including the inaugural Atlas Mountain and Silk Road Mountain Races.

“I found that the bike was the ultimate machine for freedom - I could go anywhere my heart and legs desired. I hope to show women and girls that they're tougher than they think, and that they belong in cycling no matter what they look like.”
