Hannah Collingridge

Hannah Collingridge is a freelance writer, and keen hillwalker and mountain biker. She’s fascinated by landscape and geomorphology, rocks, place names and just generally being somewhere interesting poking at things. She has been riding bikes, racing bikes, fixing bikes and talking about bikes for over forty years. Her work has appeared in Cranked, Cycle and Singletrack magazines, and she is the author of Pennine Bridleway, Mountain Walks: Three Peaks and Dirt Directory.

She’s ridden bikes all over the UK, and can often be found organising, commentating on or racing at bike events. When she’s not riding or racing bikes, Hannah is usually mending them, having spent nearly a decade as a professional bike mechanic.

She is happiest when pointing excitedly at something, which is just before the arm-waving stage. Mostly fuelled by cheese and coffee.
