The Fight for Representation in Pro Cycling with Ayesha McGowan

The Fight for Representation in Pro Cycling with Ayesha McGowan

This week on The Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Ayesha McGowan - a history-maker, activist, and rider who didn’t even discover racing until her 20s. From learning to ride fixed gear bikes on city streets to signing with Liv Racing and competing in Europe, Ayesha’s journey is a masterclass in perseverance, purpose, and passion.


In this incredible conversation, we cover:

🚴 Starting from scratch: how Ayesha went from music teacher to pro cyclist

🏁 The underground street race that sparked her competitive spirit

💥 Winning her third-ever race and realising she wanted more

🌍 Her breakthrough moment racing the Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l'Ardèche

👊 Creating A Quick Brown Fox, The Black Foxes, and The Abundance Project

📣 Why cycling must change and how she’s building new paths for women of colour

🧠 Life after pro racing: identity, advocacy, and redefining her impact on the sport


Whether you're a runner, rider, or just someone chasing big dreams, Ayesha’s story will inspire you to rethink what’s possible and to create the change you want to see.
