Elena Meini

Ride Group: F2

What kind of rider are you?

I am a social rider (but I also like to push myself to go faster and increase my resistance!). I like riding to help me get fit and healthy, I do also like being in nature and exploring new routes and places.

How often do you ride?

I do indoor training during the week (due to work commitments) and the Forge Sunday ride.

Why do you ride?

Simply because it is good fun! I like riding in a group led by experienced cyclists so that I can learn/improve my cycling skills and gradually push my limits. It is also a good workout to help with my fitness level and indeed an opportunity to meet like-minded people and make new friends.

Do you have any cycling targets this year?

My target for next year is to join the slightly faster Forge F3 group.

When you’re not cycling, what do you get up to?

I have recently taken up watercolours. On a sunny day you might find me doing sketches by the river (or at home, painting orchids on a rainy day!).
