Alice Thomson
Alice Thomson is a cyclist from Bristol who loves a challenge. She previously held the women’s Everesting record, completed Paris-Brest-Paris in 2019, and can often be found racing at local events. Alice would love to see more women cycling and enjoying everything the sport has to offer, and she’s a fierce advocate for equality. She organises women’s rides in Bristol through her club, and hopes to do more of this in future. She’s also partial to hills, audaxes, and high-quality cake stops. Her favourite bike snack is the classic yellow Soreen; convenient, squishy and delicious.
