019, Aliya and I embarked on a journey that has humbled us and taught us so much. We formed SJC Ladies with a simple vision to inspire sisters to get out on their bikes. Alhamd with Allah's blessings we will be taking 43 sisters with us for the love of Imam Hussain for Ali Asgher Water Appeal. 42 miles from Stanmore 2 Windsor. This is the team we will be leading out.

S2W TEAM VALIANT:-

RIDE
 LEADER IFFAT TEJANI: a Breeze champion learnt to cycle as an adult
loves bikes, chocolates, discovering new places to ride too, pretends
she is an export on Komoot, can talk about cycling 24-7 and hopes one
day the world is dominated by Muslim Women Cyclists.

Ride
 Assist Latifa Abouchakra - started cycling for commutes but fell in
love with the burning sensation in my legs and the feeling I could
conquer any road on my Beast (bike pet name)

Shamim
 'Aunty' Ismail - I have always admired people who could cycle; they
were able to enjoy the outdoors in a way I never could and keep fit at
the same time. I was inspired to learn to ride by watching my
grandchildren fearlessly set off on their bikes for the first time with
only thrill and excitement in their eyes, despite knowing the risk they
might fall. During the lockdown, I decided to race my 4yr old
granddaughter at learning how to ride a bike. We would set our selves
daily goals and check each other progress at the end of the day.

Cycling
 has enabled me to keep fit and travel through trails and places I would
 never have otherwise journeyed. Best of all I go on rides to the park
and dessert shop with my grandchildren! Who says you are to old to learn
 to cycle!!!!

Samana
 Fazel:- I’m a novice cyclist who is just getting into the sport. As a
footballer at heart, I’ve had to search for sport that gives me similar
buzz whilst keeping me fit during these strange times. I’m enjoying
exploring new areas and having fun on 2 wheels!

Siddika
 Walji :- I have always enjoyed cycling. I love the feeling of the fresh
 air hitting your face while on the bike. During the last year I
decided to take it to another level and pushing myself to new heights. I
 have enjoyed cycling with my kids exploring new trails and admiring the  beauty of the great outdoors.

Sidd:- I am very passionate about cycling and I have being cycling since I was young. Cycling being outdoors, keeps me away from Tv, computer and kitchen.
I enjoy cycling in groups/solo exploring different scenic countryside/parks and trying various coffee stops. I love my new Trek bike (2nd hand) and I am looking forward to riding to Windsor to embark on this noble cause AAWA and to thank Allah for this humble opportunity, and riding with my awesome Valiant team.
Ride as much or as little, or as long,or as short as you feel, But Ride!!!

Mohsinah Datoo:- mainly a single digit mile rider but looking forward to upping my game for such a worthy cause.
