Saskia Beudel’s book begins with a straightforward premise: how she prepared for one of Australia’s toughest cycling events.
The Peaks Challenge, held in Victoria’s alpine region, requires riders to cover 235 kilometres and climb more than 4,000 metres in a single day, taking in Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham and Falls Creek. Yet this book is about much more than cycling. When she started the challenge, in 2021, she was in her late fifties.
