Paris Roubaix route with Allison Jackson
 

Worth a watch

She makes riding over the cobbles seem so effortless.

EF and Cannondale have really picked some skilled and likeable characters to represent the brand. So great for the sport.

She seems like a hoot. Didn't watch the entire thing, but it's great to see someone love riding so much.

I loved it when she danced after her Paris-Roubaix win last year. So much joie de vivre! She instantly became one of my favorite racers.

All I know is she kicked my butt in a short TT by a good margin in 2021!

Hah! That's pretty cool!

She lived locally outside of Vancouver for a few years and would come out to local races for fun and entertainment! In my defence, I am more than three times her age.

Alison Jackson is 35.

Ok, so she wasn't 35 in 2021 and I extrapolated a bit, but I am still more than double her current age.

That was great, very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for posting!

Great read here on that race, by Jackson in Abby Mickey's column on Escape

Time well spent watching.

Great video…The sport needs more Alison Jacksons….

I was hooked right from the start when she said “Its so nice to just ride your bike. I love breathing heavy.” I mean, that’s the essence right there, and it never changes, no matter what bike you’re on, your age, your ability, or your fitness.
