    Name: Mim Taylor

    Hometown: Swinton Grove Manchester, UK. Now in Bedford.

    How did you get into cycling? First off as a weekly commute over the Pennines to 6th form college, more recently as a follow-on sport after injury in rowing.

    How many years have you been racing on Zwift? 5 years 

    Are you part of a Virtual team? Level Racing WattsUP women’s team 

    What do you love most about racing? LOL winning, my racing buds, the whole world that women’s sport opens up. The release of tension and escape from the other sides of life. 

    What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)? Love it all, TTT is my fave. 

    What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? Tour de Boudicca 

    Learn more about this racer based in Bedford, England.

    What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or Both? Winning World Champs in rowing eons ago.

    What is your favourite food to eat post-race? Ice cream 

    What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Learn how to set off hard and then draft like a demon. 

    Any upcoming race you are looking forward to? Off to UCI Qualifiers in Cyprus to hopefully race in the sunshine.
