Recorded stream: Emily Chappell in conversation

On August 12, we enjoyed an in-depth discussion on Zoom with the endurance athlete and acclaimed author Emily Chappell. 

Here, you can buy a ticket for £5 to access the recorded stream of the event. We also have some ticket-and-book deals (for UK viewers only, unfortunately...) 

Emily is possibly best known for her ride in the 2016 Transcontinental, in which she cycled 4000km unsupported across Europe; and her account of that race, 'Where There's a Will', which was nominated at the 2020 Telegraph Sports Books of the Year awards.

Emily completed the Transcontinental, which required her to find her own route from Belgium to Turkey, in 13 days - two days ahead of the next woman home. Emily has also completed numerous other long-distance cycling adventures. She discusses whether her long experiences of solitude on the road have helped prepare her for lockdown - and compares the recent GBDuro race with her own ride in the Transcontinental.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Emily also discusses her first book, What Goes Around, a memoir of her life as a London cycle courier and her role as lead rider for Le Loop, the sportive that gives hundreds of amateur riders the chance to ride the complete route of the Tour de France. We also discuss inclusivity in cycling, Emily's favourite climbs in Wales and Emily reflects on her not overly sporty teenage self and how she became, remarkably, a super-athlete after starting in her late 20s.

Emily is in conversation with Duncan Steer, former Procycling magazine writer and host of regular book nights in London and Brighton.

Tickets are £5. We also have copies of Emily's books for sale at special prices.

Where There's A Will - Emily's book about riding the Transcontinental - is £20 including Event ticket and Post and packaging.

What Goes Around - Emily's book about life as a London cycle courier - is £15, including Event ticket and Post + packaging.

Both books and event ticket: £25
