Emily is one of the founders of The Adventure Syndicate, a collective of extraordinary cyclists who happen to be women and who aim to challenge what others think they are capable of. She is a former cycle courier turned ultra-distance cyclist and was the first woman across the line (by 2 days) in the 2016 Transcontinental race, an annual, self-supported, ultra-distance cycling race across Europe. It is one of the world's toughest races. Her My first book was published by Guardian Faber in January 2016 and you can also read her stuff on the Guardian Bike Blog.
