Two interviews this week, Chris catches up with Rishi Fox riding the TransAtlanticWay, a 2500 km one stage self-supported road bike race between Dublin and Cork via The Wild Atlantic Way. She talks about bikepacking, her race choice decision, dotwatching and anticipated cultural highlights during the ride.

Second interview is with Zoe Condliffe talking about her projects and involvement for female access to cycling culture in Melbourne, including using crowdmapping to document womens experiences, her recent project She's a Crowd, the recent election of Sally Capp as Lord Mayor and how to make Melbourne the best city for women to cycle in.
