Jenny Lucas-Hill

Jenny Lucas-Hill is the Content and Communications Manager for Stolen Goat and VeloVixen. Known unofficially as the resident ‘word nerd’ – she’s passionate about creating content and sharing community stories across blogs, social media and email marketing to equip people with the knowledge, inspiration and motivation that will empower them to get out there and do more of what they love.

Having taken a career-break in her 20s to run her own personal training business before coming back to the world of marketing and communications, Jenny still loves getting active. When she’s not busy tapping away at her laptop, creating content or chatting to members of the Stolen Goat and VeloVixen communities, you’ll most likely find her out swimming, cycling or running as she trains for her next Ironman-distance triathlon. Having started out in triathlon as a total novice in 2016 – only taking up cycling as a “necessary evil” if she wanted to give multisport a go – she now has multiple full and half-Ironman finishes under her belt and loves nothing more than spending time out exploring on two wheels.

Getting the best out of myself and everyone I work with is my passion. I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best athletes, coaches and business owners in the world. Supporting these experiences has been the chance to help so many people transform their lives. I believe that anyone can achieve anything they want to. But to enable this to happen, you need good people around you to realise this. This is one of many reasons I set up Her Spirit.

I love to cycle and swim and currently training to swim the length of Coniston twice in one weekend and Lake Windermere one way for charity.

Mani Arthur

Mani Arthur is a competitive cyclist and founder of Black Cyclists Network (BCN), the biggest organisation in Europe aimed at encouraging Black people to get into cycling.

He caught the cycling bug soon afterwards and started competing in 2014. He was selected to represent Ghana at the 2019 African Championship in Morocco. Mani has since gone on to represent Ghana at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and will be participating in this year’s World Championships Road Race in Glasgow on 6 August. Mani’s journey led him to create BCN because of the lack of diversity in the sport. In his own words cycling is a difficult sport to get into if you are new to the culture. It can be intimidating. As a result, a lot of black riders ride alone and do not join their local clubs. I created BCN to open the door and remove some of those barriers. Everyone is welcomed at BCN. It doesn’t matter whether you are black or white. The message of creating an inclusive and welcoming space for all is the most important thing.

Nahla Summers

She has been awarded a Point of Light award from the Prime Minister for ‘transforming the concept of sponsorship’.  After cycling 3000 miles across America, having not owned a bike in 20 years. Walking 500 miles from South to North England relying only on the kindness of strangers.  In 2020 making her a Guinness World Record holder by going 5007 miles on an ElliptiGO through every city in the UK, in the middle of a pandemic.  Whilst also producing the biggest ‘Strava art’ in England by writing KINDNESS across it.  She completes these challenges and asks people to show their support by doing an act of kindness for a stranger rather than sponsor money to a charity.  As the founder of the CIC Sunshine People, every year she takes on a new challenge and every year she discovers something new about the power that kindness has on people, with approximately 250,000 acts of kindness raised to date.

She is an inspiring and established speaker that will bring the audience along with her on the adventurers through some incredible story telling. Among many messages that she delivers, she shares how we can change the chatter in our minds to allow us to achieve anything we dream of.  The power that human connection and kindness has to heal a nation.  How resilience is built and when the world gives us lemons how we can in fact make lemonade.  How the actions of one can change the world and therefore what we each do really does matter.

She is also the author of several books.  She won an award for most inspirational book in 2017 with a ‘stellar piece of writing by a very talented author’.  Her latest book due to launch on the 1^st November, aptly named the Accidental Adventurer documents the challenges that she has undertaken.  With humour running through it and a clear growth, she gives every reader the knowledge that they too can do anything they wish to, if she can; they most definitely can.

She spent 15 years as a senior leader in the corporate world working all over the world.  Then in just a moment, her personal life circumstances were shattered and in the end she had to make a choice, whether to simply survive or thrive.  She chose in the end to thrive and as a consequence her path has taken her in a very unique direction.  She is now an adventurer, social entrepreneur, cultural change consultant, a podcaster and an international speaker.  With her second book, A Culture of Kindness, it is a powerful theory of how we can bring kindness into the workplace and not only be happier overall but also improve employee wellbeing.  Her theory removes stress and anxiety from workplaces, therefore allowing increased productivity and profitable.  Looking to change the way people and businesses co-exist with her talk, book and podcast of the same name, she is affecting us all with positivity of how we can live and work for a more sustainable future.

Dan Atherton is “an inspiration to a generation of bikers” One of the world’s greatest bike handlers he’s renowned as a trail-building “creative genius”, who created Dyfi Bike Park and Red Bull Hardline. He built his first bike when he was 10 years old.

The career of Dan Atherton can be divided into two distinct parts. Until he broke his neck at C1 vertebrae in 2010 while dirt jumping, he had had a series of top flight results in BMX, downhill and 4X, including a 4X National Championship in 2004, numerous World Cup podiums and a 4X World Cup win in Andorra in 2008.

Following the accident, he came back fitter and leaner than ever before, but this time concentrating primarily on the emerging Enduro discipline. In 2012, he won convincingly at the Superenduro Pro 6 Finale Ligure, taking five out of five stages from a stacked field, as well as emerging victorious from the mass start Maxi Avalanche in Andorra.

He was many people’s pick to win the inaugural Enduro World Series title in 2013, but, after securing podium finishes in rounds one and three of the competition, he dislocated his left shoulder at the Mountain of Hell. Incredibly, he popped his shoulder back in so that he could finish the race, but he sat out the remainder of the season, his involvement only extending to supervising his teammate, the young Belgian rider Martin Maes.

Growing up in Somerset, Dan started racing mountain bikes at the age of 15, and it wasn’t long before he had brother Gee and sister Rachel hooked too. All three siblings have gone on to experience great success on the mountain biking world stage, although Dan is the quieter of the three, known for his versatility, extraordinary work ethic and his prodigious trail-building skills.

Anna Glowinski

I have been cycling for as long as I can remember, it was always a fun family activity for me growing-up. From velodrome to cyclo-cross, MTB to road racing, I spent my childhood developing a passion for two-wheels. As an adult, I´ve been particularly attracted to the adrenaline side of bikes, pushing my limits on jumps, mountainsides and learning tricks, which led to my first TV role on ITV´s The Cycle Show and the lab rat who was sent to try out all the weird and wonderful (and often scary) things that cycling has to offer. I spent 5 years as a cycling TV and video presenter, exploring some of europe’s finest cycling locations and talking to some of the most amazing minds and bodies within this sport.
I believe that cycling is for everyone, it is an activity that is suitable for every personality and body type, you just need to find what is right for you. Long distance over-night adventures or a trip to the park with the kids, death defying feats or tandem trips for the visually impaired, cycling is and can be accessible to all. You just need to hear the right story or follow the right person to be inspired into spending more time in the saddle and having fun.
