“I make bike adventures feel a little less intimidating”
A bit more about me
Hello! I’m Jess, an adventure cyclist and bikepacker who is on a mission to get more people exploring the outdoors by bike. In five years, I’ve gone from local club rides to unsupported adventures, including a 4,000km race across the Arctic Circle. Now, I help others discover the joy of bikepacking, build confidence, and experience the feeling of doing something they once thought was impossible.
I started cycling in order to train for my first triathlon, but quickly realised I was happiest on the bike and left the swimming and running behind. From there, I kept pushing myself further, taking on longer rides and bigger challenges, and eventually fell in love with endurance riding and the self-supported world of bikepacking.
I got my first bike at the age of seven, promptly crashed it into a thicket of stinging nettles, and then didn’t give cycling another thought until twenty-five years later when I decided I wanted to cycle 4,000km across Europe.
This is for
you if…

- You’re curious, adventurous and happy to give things a go.
- You want adventure without the pressure to be the fastest or fittest.
- You like good company, beautiful places and a little bit of a challenge.
