First cycling memory

I grew up in Siberia and riding my bike always signified that spring had arrived. I still associate riding my bike with sunny days!

Favourite bike

I think my favourite bike has to be the Lynskey Sportive that I ride on tour. The roads in Russia are not always smooth and yet I find it really comfortable wherever I ride.

Top climb

Passo dello Stelvio, Italy since it was my first big climb. I started with with one of the best I’ve been told.

One thing on your bucket list

I’d love to travel to Africa and go on safari. It’s always been my dream.

A special skill you bring on tour

Positivity and desire to look after people. For better or worse on my first Napoleon tour both the guides and guests called me ‘Mamma’!

Favourite Ride & Seek tour gastronomic experience

Has to be my favourite Russian snack of black bread with smoked sardines and marinated cucumber and now that I live in Ivrea, Italy now it is hard for me to look beyond Barbaresco and Barolo when it comes to wine. Areas the Hannibal ride passes through.
