There aren’t many more famous bike riders in the world than Mariana Pajón.A two-time Olympic Gold medallist and a household name in her native Colombia, Mariana is an icon in her sport of BMX. 

Since day one of Just Ride she has been a dream guest for us, so it was a true pleasure to finally welcome her to the studio. With Rob away, it was Eliot who spoke to the queen of BMX all about her upbringing, plus the highs and lows of her remarkable career, and picked up a fascinating insight into the sport of BMX itself.

You are going to love Eliot’s chat with Mariana, a warrior on the bike and a champion off it.

In other news, we had an incredible email from listener Adam, which touched both Rob and Eliot. If you want to get in touch with the guys, then please email [email protected].

We’ll see you again soon.
