Q&A Prita Jobling-Baker

Cyclist: How many Peaks Challenges have you undertaken and what are your most memorable moments?

Prita Jobling-Baker: I’ve done three Falls Creek, two Cradle Mountain and one Gold Coast; sadly I had to miss a couple of years for various reasons. I’ve done them in hot sun, heavy rain and intense winds. Every year the challenges are slightly different and it always feels like a different journey. But one thing never changes – every year I get to the end smiling. It would be hard to pick one memorable moment, but the pleasure and happiness I get from the thanks from grateful riders at the end of the day is always a huge highlight.
