Iman Achieng' Kagumba went to Cape Epic this year. Not to race, but to work. As a soigneur for the Pump for Peace pro team, she spent eight days giving muscle therapy to elite athletes, running between feed zones, and at one point holding four bottles for four different riders who all arrived at once. It is a side of racing most of us never see, and a story about what it feels like when your work is finally trusted at the highest level of sport.

Today we are welcoming Iman, an avid mountain biker, integrative nurse, and social scientist whose adventures span racing, bikepacking, and deep community connection across Kenya and Tanzania. From navigating health challenges and redefining ambition to dreaming of a more mindful world connected by two wheels, Iman brings heart, honesty, and global perspective to Cycling Culture Club.
