Summary

Today we’re joined by New Zealand enduro racer, Winni Goldsbury. After some stellar U21 results, Winni is competing in her first elite EDR season this year. There’s been ups and downs, but the future looks bright for this young rider. We hear how Winni grew up surrounded by bikes and grew to love riding and racing. Winni shares the importance of community in supporting her success so far and we dig into the current state of enduro, along with Winni’s hopes for the future. This is a conversation with one of the riders who represents the future of EDR and if this conversation is anything to go by, I think the future looks bright. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Winni Goldsbury.
