Saskia Kelly
Welcoming Saskia Kelly as a Cycle 360 Brand Ambassador for 2025/2026! 🚀
We’re stoked to have Saskia Kelly back as a Cycle 360 Brand Ambassador for another season! 🙌 Her passion for getting more women into mountain biking, her dedication to the local cycling scene, and her ability to juggle mum life, business life, and race life is nothing short of legendary.
Saskia summed it up best herself:
“Cycle 360’s values of empowering people from all walks of life through exercise and being outdoors on two wheels are aligned with my own, so it’s a no-brainer to gladly accept, again. Thank you!”
For Saskia, the biggest game-changer in the Cycle 360 programme is the bike maintenance and race prep support:
“As a mum and business owner, knowing my bikes are race-ready really alleviates a lot of pre-event stress. Whilst the financial support is nice, I dare say this side of things is more valuable to me.”
So, what’s in store for 2025/2026?
🚵♀️ Competing in local MTB XC and Enduro Championships
🚴♀️ Hitting up more road races after tackling her first ever Fondo
🏆 Returning to the Enduro and Four Cross National Championships
🏁 Supporting her kids, Malin & Moll, at Junior MTB events, RL360 League & Balance Bike World Champs
☕ Jumping in on Cycle 360 Coffee Club rides whenever possible
And we love this—Saskia’s even keen to explore a ‘Tots & Trailers’ ride to get more parents with little ones involved in the community.
Here’s to another epic season, Saskia! We can’t wait to see you (and the whole Kelly crew!) flying the Cycle 360 flag once again! 🚀👊 #LetsGooo
