Ever wondered what it takes to be able to ride audax events like London Edinburgh London and Paris Brest Paris? Well Izabela Murtagh will tell you it's commuting 50+km every day in all the Scottish Weather, 5 days a week, year round.
She has done this now for over 8 years and little did she know at the time, that a way of saving money to get to work, would lead her to the world of long distance Audax rides. For those of you who have often wondered what Audax events are like, or who have thought of riding the big events like PBP or LEL, then this episode is a must listen.
Izabela's first big ride was Ride to the Sun, from Carlisle to Crammond Beach. But she ended up having to do the event a day early due to work. Alone, and never having ridden more than 100kms before, she was unperturbed and managed to ride the full distance - over 320kms!
From there she hasn't looked back and has completed an array of Audax events, as well as well as the TransAlba - a 1600km Ultra race around Scotland - where she came third place overall and first woman!
Izabela is now also the host of TowPath Talks hosted at the Towpath Cafe at BikeTrax Edinburgh.
These are the earplugs we spoke about during the interview.
