Tracy thinks she's a trail runner, but nevertheless has three bikes - one is black and good for going up and down mountain trails, one is blue and ok on roads, but her favourite bike is a silver Koga Miyata that she rode from Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan to Flores in Indonesia that probably weighs more than the other two bikes put together. Her day job is helping to run the epic Tour de Force cycling event and she's ridden a few stages of the tour, most years, as a perk of the job. In 2016 she'll be riding the final five stages to Paris, including the 2016 Etape stage 20 in the Alps while fundraising alongside her fellow riders.
She hates turbo trainers... I mean she really hates them. Which is a pity, because she's going to be spending an awful lot of time on one this winter in Edinburgh.
