Emily Batty Kicks Off Season 2 of Her Video Series, Ambitions

May 25, 2017
by Emily Batty  


I’m thrilled we can continue with Ambitions for another season in 2017. We had so much fun with the video series last year, and I’m still getting messages of inspiration and how we’ve reached and connected with people. This year we’ve taken it a step further and developed the Emily Batty Project which will operate in unison with Ambitions and support Coast To Coast Against Cancer Foundation, an organization supporting children living with and beyond cancer.

Our mission is to grow the sport of cycling at the grassroots level by helping and providing awareness, fundraising, and mentorship to youth-focused cycling charities, programs, and clubs. The Ambitions video series aligns perfectly with all of our goals.

The on the bike targets remain the same, and that is to win bike races and in particular, a World Cup. The off the bike goals continue to evolve and are becoming more clear in growing the sport, increasing youth participation, and supporting grassroots cycling.

Inspiring people and riders to get outside and get on their bikes is the driving motivation behind the video series. I feel very fortunate, and the least I can do is share my journey with others. I'm thankful to all those supporting the series.

 Emily Batty. Making XC ratings better.

 Time to face the facts. 29ers are the fastest, and dropper posts are viable for every rider.
  • 12 2
 The dropper was used during testing...then she decided not to use it in the races.

 300watts for 9 mins for someone who most likely weights sub 60kg... Ouch.

 48kg according to google

 I have the power file of a rider who is heavier and went up that climb in front of her. If her power meter says 300 for 9 her power meter is not calibrated correctly.

 Her XC rider fitness can smoke all of us! As much as I would relish that experience that's not the point of discussion here.

 An HD GPS and being consistent within 12" on her lines, damn! When I think about my regular trails and rides sure I try to hit those perfect lines but it sounds like they (she) is using the GPS to figure out the fastest lines on a lap, makes me think F1 or World GP racing!

 My heart squeaks just thinking about the effort required to compete at that level.

 I want to know more about the "HD" GPS... is it an RTK setup? ...are you using a site located base-station or a local network station? What's the measurement interval... is this a commercially available setup or prototype (looks production???)

Moar info plz.

 For such an intelligent and professional athlete, Emily comes across as a genuine and likeable person. It also helps that she's easy on the eye.
