Catherine Colyn
Meet Catherine Colyn, a new Cadence Nutrition athlete for 2025 who is a well-known and friendly face in the cycling scene in South Africa.
Hailing from Paarl, South Africa, Catherine's journey began on the road, where she achieved national recognition as a U23 National Road Champion and a Zwift Academy finalist. However, the growth and alluring calendar of the gravel scene has since attracted Cath’s attention and since 2022, has seen her making her mark in the off-road cycling scene.
2023 saw Catherine selected for the prestigious United States based LifeTime Grand Prix, an amazing chance and experience for Cath, allowing her to compete on her gravel bike in some of the most challenging and prestigious gravel races in the world. Looking ahead to 2025, her focus remains firmly planted on conquering South Africa's premier gravel events.
Catherine's passions extend beyond the toeing the start line though. She's passionate about growing the cycling community around her, leading a growing monthly group ride with Vida e Caffè as well as weekly Zwift rides with the Rocacorba Collective - an e-sports group dedicated to providing a safe, enthusiastic and motivational space for female riders.
Cathy's favourite sessions:
So, what makes Cath tick? When it comes to training, Catherine loves a long, lung-busting climb! If an interval calls for a 10+ minute effort in zone 4 on a long climb…Cath is there! Metabolic intervals also make the cut, alongside the pure joy of long, solo gravel rides.
Cath's go-to is Cadence Nutrition product is the popular Berry flavoured Carbofuel as well as the Salted Caramel Carbofuel bar. These are 2 of our most popular products…so it seems like Cath has good taste!
We are excited to form a part of Cath’s journey this year, following her progress as she tackles the growing gravel calendar this year!
