Hattie Harnden, U21 Enduro world champion

Hattie Harnden is a professional cyclist whose relatively short career has spanned multiple disciplines and garnered her both national and international titles.  In addition to being U21 enduro world champ, she also became the UK elite cyclocross national champion at the age of 18 earlier this year, and holds multiple national titles for cross country. In this episode, Hattie tells Payson about juggling so many disciplines, and whether she's planning on adding a few more to her CV. She talks about signing with Trek Factory Racing earlier this year and finding her feet as a professional racer alongside teammates who are veterans of the sport. She talks about her long term racing goals, whether or not she plans on going to college, some of the skills she picked up in lockdown, and what it's been like getting back to racing without spectators. They also talk about her relationship with one of the sport's most legendary racers, Tracey Moseley, who lent her a bike when she was just getting into mountain biking and continues to be a mentor and close friend.
