Catherine Allen was the first rider to complete the CW5000 challenge in 2023. She has regularly been one of our first finishers but this year took the honours by some distance and hit the target two days earlier than 2022. Allen, a former competitive marathon runner, is up and on her turbo early every morning before work and regularly clocks up big miles.
