Voxwomen Insider

It's the Winter Olympics! So we decided to change gears a little and bring you a special interview with American Long Track Speed Skater Mia Manganello! She has a super cool story of starting speed skating at a young age, taking up cycling for a minute, before returning to speed skating and making the 2018 Olympic team. Listen in for a little change from the usual cycling talk!   As always thanks so much to Canyon bikes for their support of the podcast. Check out their new mountain bike range.
