Name: Jacqui Logan-Powell @jloganpowell
Jan 21/22nd goal: Everesting Roam Occupation: Financial Markets at Westpac Why are you riding with @alpineeveresting? I injured myself in an accident in March (3 fractures in my pelvis) so in June I recruited Bec Hoschke to help get me back on the bike and we decided I needed something to aim for. That started as the Alpine Classic and somehow grew to an Everesting Roam! Longest ride: Longest was 212km from Sydney to Wollongong and back but toughest was the 175km Half Everest on 31 October with some others from the @alpineeveresting team Favourite cycling memory: I’ve completed 5 Westpac Tour de Cure Australia tours and rolling into Barangaroo with 100 riders and all our support crew is always a buzz. But probably the best was 2019 in my first year as a ride leader – so incredibly satisfying getting everyone home safe and seeing many people achieve what they never dreamed was possible Greatest sporting achievement: It’s probably a tie between the Half Everest in October 2021 and the Oxfam 100km Trailwalker in August 2011 Favourite bike snack: Cliff Bars, Roast potatoes (thanks for that tip @drelly_warren!), Xmas mince pies, nuts Coffee order: Flat white (or piccolo if I’m in a hurry!) How many bikes do you own? 2 (and of course contemplating options for #3!) How do you juggle work/family/cycling? For me the indoor trainer was a game changer in enabling me to fit in training when it suits. Also cycling ticks so many boxes for me – physical health, mental health, socialising and giving back to the community… multi-tasking at its best! What would you say to a woman who is contemplating joining our next adventure but has some self-doubt? I have no idea if I’ll make it, but I have learnt that a huge amount comes down to having the confidence, so give it a go and what’s the worst that could happen?!
