About this listen
In this episode of Cycling Culture Club Connections, Miles sits down with Llori Sharpe, former national champion of Jamaica and one of the Caribbean’s most inspiring voices in cycling.
Llori shares her journey into the sport, from a childhood rooted in swimming and running to discovering cycling through triathlon. What started as an unexpected transition quickly grew into a competitive career that has seen her represent Jamaica on the international stage.
The conversation explores the realities of racing from a country where cycling infrastructure and pathways are limited, the challenges that come with visas and international competition, and the pride that comes with representing Jamaica in the global peloton.
Beyond racing, Llori reflects on the role of community in sport and why visibility matters for riders coming from underrepresented cycling nations.
This is a conversation about resilience, opportunity, and the responsibility that comes with riding for something bigger than yourself.
