The Backstedt Sisters . . . Keeping The Family Business On The Road To Success

The Backstedt sisters – Elynor and Zoe – were born to cycle. Easy for them, they just have to get on their bikes. Not so easy for their parents, Magnus and Megan, as they try to cope with the practical difficulties of helping the careers of two of Welsh cycling’s most promising youngsters. Owen Morgan found out how they do it.  Parents the length and breadth of Wales will understand the challenges of delivering sporting offspring to various training sessions and competitions on time. Number one child may need to be dropped off at gymnastics at 6pm, while number two child has to be at football a few miles up the road at exactly the same time.
