In spite of these conditions, 21-year old Florence Nakaggwa is out training in the outskirts of Kalagala. She cycles between 30-60 miles each day. Earlier this year, Nakaggwa became Uganda’s first female rider to receive a professional cycling contract, signing with Team Amani. Her signing came as a surprise to her home village of Kalagala, where neighbours had derided (嘲讽) her ambitions. “I tend to ignore them. This is my chosen career — not working in a hair salon, as many in my culture would expect.” In 2015, a social worker and cycling fan called Miiro Michael noticed an increasing number of young boys racing bicycles they would normally use to fetch water. So he formed the cycling club. In 2019 Nakaggwa became the first woman to join the cycling club. Michael recognized her leadership qualities and appointed her captain. Since then, nine more girls have joined. “I tell the girls not to sit on their talents. When you sit on a bike you are not a boy or a girl, you are just a being — and you need to keep up with everyone in the race no matter who they are,” she says. After coming first in local community races, one of her first challenges on the big stage was the Kintu Trial in western Uganda last year, a tough 500km of mountain biking over five days, competing against European and African men and women. On day one she came first, and was held aloft (高高地) in amazement by those at the finish line. Her next race is the Rhino Run this month, an expedition that crosses 1,700 miles of mountain ranges, forests and towering sand dunes (沙丘). Co
