🤯40th World Cup win baby! What the actual heck!!!! Feels so surreal, it just won’t sink in, it feels like a dream! ⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️ Such a Massive team effort to make this race, let alone to win! Thanks to everyone for helping me @athertonracing @ mum @alanmilway @athertonbikes @conti_mtb @redbull #mumsrule #40 #ucimtbworldcup @nathhughesphoto photos

Raw clips from 2day , best day ever ❤️ New bike goes so well 😮‍💨🔥👌 @athertonbikes @conti_mtb Probably one of the best days I’ve had on my bike in years!! So so so much fun going as fast as we could & the sun ☀️ was unreal @dyfibikepark , thanks boys!! @brendog1 @damien_tutton @lewis_ranger 🔥

I felt like I wasn’t being real enough about postpartum mum life after my last post about going for a bike ride that wasn’t an ebike 😂😂 2 months of baby girl!! 🐣 so here’s a carousel of photos that aren’t bike riding - dressed in random warm comfy clothes , doing my best, with a small human! MOST of the time has been spent , and rightly so, recovering, in comfy clothes, feeding her and wearing her in the sling ❤️💘 She is SUCH a chilled happy girl, we wear her for all her naps, & I feed her bloody constantly! & now she’s rewarding me with smiles it’s totally worth it :-) Breastfeeding can be so so hard, it’s so physically demanding on the mother, but it’s also so incredible for the babes & I just hope I can do it for as long as I did with Arna, I know we are lucky so far to have found it relatively easy, I’m very grateful for that 💘 Being a mumma is so so intense, there is no time off in these early months (years) , something that affected me mentally with arna the first time around, I felt so changed and so alone, but so so in love , it was confusing! but this time I know it’s just. A Phase. & some semblance of my life will return & the rest will be new and better for it! I consciously make an effort to try to enjoy it and cherish the moments because it really does change so fast & arna seems so grown up now I could cry, I don’t want her to grow up!! If you’re in this time of life with little kids, cheers to you 👌🙅‍♀️ We got this 💘

I bet @dharcoclothing didn’t design their party shirts for breastfeeding mums to ride in but it’s so ideal! 👍😝💘 6 weeks postpartum & my first ride out on my analogue “not an Ebike” SAVAGE! @athertonbikes think I’ll stick to the Ebike for a bit longer 😜 the 2nd time around having a baby Im trying to remind myself that each small phase doesn’t last forever & it will get easier , just an hour more sleep makes a huge difference & things change so fast with a baby - being a mother is such a insane intense rollercoaster & women need to give themselves grace & permission to go slow 🙏 the small moments of freedom in between feeding make a huge difference mentally & I’m grateful for it all 💘💘🙏 The baby handover - every second counts for maximum ride time! @dharcoclothing stoked to be partnering with a brand that puts supporting women so high up their list ❤️ love it! #2ndbaby #girlmum #dharco #dharcoclothing

Our little Baby girl # 2 arrived Tuesday evening at Home in a short & intense water birth 💘💘 👧 👧 Feeling incredibly lucky in all ways right now & can’t wait to raise another wild & free girl 🌍 Cheers to Mummas everywhere birth is no joke! Insane primal thing to go thru ❤️ #girlpower #newborn

The ebike has saved my sanity time & again whilst pregnant or injured , and now the excitement is REAL as we start to roll out our very own Ebike @athertonbikes Baby # 2 due any day and It’s felt like such a long time being pregnant the last 10 months 😂😂🤦‍♀️ It’s so exciting, to develop a bike that WE love first and foremost - for absolutely shredding the mountains. Can’t wait 🤩 Join us on the journey as we have episodes on our YouTube channel following the team designing - Ep 3 out this month ❤️👍👍🫡 ⚡️

A day on the bike with Rachel Atherton 👑 Flowing on the trails, enjoying the ride and finding that balance between time on the bike and everyday life. Riding isn’t just about the trails — it’s about the moments, the feeling, and the freedom that comes with it. #fsamtb #fsa #gradient #fullspeedahead #totalcontrol

Com número recorde de vitórias na Copa do Mundo e protagonista da única temporada perfeita na história do MTB Downhill, Rachel Atherton é mais uma lenda do esporte mundial que eu tenho a oportunidade de acessar aqui no Red Bull Decode. O que me chamou atenção aqui é como o momento feliz da sua vida pessoal foi determinante para ela fazer história numa temporada emblemática, perfeita. Num esporte tão radical onde qualquer erro leva ao hospital ou qualquer imprevisto mecânico te tira de uma prova (o que é comum), ela fez o que teoricamente era quase impossível. Estado de presença e foco impecáveis! Eu tô adorando estar do lado das perguntas e mergulhar nas respostas de seres humanos fora de série como ela, uma chance rara de desvendar o que verdadeiramente os move e o que os capacita a estar num hall de atletas tão exclusivo. Com vocês, ELA! Obrigado Rachel por abrir o peito e a mente para nós! #redbull #esporte #adrenalina #coragem

RISK ❤️‍🔥 How do we process & define risk? What’s your guys thoughts? do “ I “ or other professional athletes process it differently to you? What constitutes risk to me? What am I willing to risk? How do we decide what is “worth it” To me, the risk has always been about balance & probability & preparation, I wouldn’t throw myself at warp speed down the mountain without proper preparation, and I didn’t always “risk it all” often as I got older trying to race “within” my capabilities to reduce my chances of injury…. But making sure those capabilities were high enough that a win was a high chance! Apart from those few races where I can remember saying “I’m willing to risk it all, I accept the high chances of breaking my leg / shoulder/ heart if I crash at this speed but I’m willing to go this speed to win” How am I raising my daughter with a balance or risk V learning… It’s SO INTERESTING & so I’m super excited to be taking to the stage at Kendal Mountian Festival to talk about RISK! Kendal, Saturday afternoon: 4.30pm Risk session Blue, The Box. Myself & @caro_ciavaldini & phycologist Rebecca Williams @kendalmountainfestival @athertonbikes See you guys there 👍❤️‍🔥 @svenmartinphoto capturing the years ❤️
