This week Cammi & AJ welcome activist, athlete, author and documentary film maker, Kathryn Bertine! Kathryn shares with Cammi and AJ her amazing stories about her life, athletic career and her fight for equity in women’s cycling.
In 2006, Kathryn picked up an assignment as writer with ESPN. She would choose a sport and try to qualify for the 2008 Olympics while writing about her experience. While she did not qualify for the Olympics, she fell in love with the sport and officially became a professional cyclist in 2012. Two years later, her activism in women’s cycling led to her helping create La Course by Tour de France- a women’s event at the Tour de France. While there is still more progress to be made, the impact Kathryn has made on women’s cycling thus far is immeasurable.
