In this episode, I catch up with Louise-Anna Ferguson, better known as Lou,ย
Originally from Fort William, Scotland, Lou now calls Queenstown, New Zealand, her home, where she's immersed in the thriving mountain biking scene.
Lou's approach to the sport is all about letting her riding skills do the talking. Her passion for uplifting everyone in the community shines through, whether she's leading Women's progression camps or participating in freeride events.
Fresh from her debut season on the global racing circuit, which included stops at the DH World Cup, Crankworx, and the Red Bull Formation, Lou joins me for a chat about her journey thus far.
We cover a range of topics including:ย
- The challenges of competing at the World Cup levelย
- Managing race day nerves and fearย
- What you can and can't control in racing
- The importance of being honest yet kind to yourself.
- The Art of Track Walks and Visualization
So tune in as we explore the world of professional mountain biking through Lou's eyes, and discover the insights she's gained along the way.
You can follow along with Lou's journey on Instagram @loufergmtb and follow her new team @intensefactoryracing.
