Beth Strickland began cycling in the early ’80s as a means of transportation and fully immersed herself in the sport as an editor at Bicycling magazine. She rides 5-6 days a week, nearly 10,000 miles a year, in 100-degree humidity and in single-digit temps; normally with a good lunch crew and fast weekend rides with racer-types. When not riding, Beth is usually reading, baking, gardening or spending time with her teenage daughter. She loves to travel—with bike when possible–and could live happily with only cheese, wine, bread, chocolate…and a bicycle.

Yi-Hwa is a multimedia journalist currently based in Dubai. Born in the USA with Taiwanese, Lebanese, Iraqi, and Armenian heritage (possibly more) before growing up in the UAE, she’s had an innate love for travel for as long as she can remember. To her, home isn’t a place – it’s within people and the way they make you feel. When asked “Why”, she prefers to ask herself, “Why not”, and believes everything in life can be an adventure if you just know how to find it. She graduated from Tufts University in 2006, and her work has been featured in Women’s Health – in 2014 she was the launch editor for the Middle East edition of Women’s Health magazine, where she was Editor-in-Chief for four years – as well as Good Housekeeping Middle East, VIVA Magazine, Men’s Health Middle East, Grazia Middle East, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, Cosmopolitan Middle East, Gourmet Magazine, and Etihad Inflight magazine, to name a few. Her career has involved everything from an internship at Yelp.com to a regular slot on a talk radio show, and Fighting Fit Dubai, a GCC reality TV show that saw her step into the ring for some amateur boxing matches. When the gloves are off, she loves to SUP and surf, do yoga, and just be active (she’s a qualified PT) – and when she’s not writing, travelling, or doing sports, she loves to spend time with her cat (Monsieur Baguette), cook, read, sketch, and paint. She’s currently trying to finish her first novel (and a screenplay) and dreams of someday making documentary films.
