The Atherton family – originally from Cheddar in Somerset and now living in North Wales are the fastest family in the world of Mountain biking (MTB).

Rachel and her two brothers, Dan and Gee, compete in Downhill and 4X racing all over the world. Competing against the clock in Downhill, to be the fastest down the hillside, or against 3 other riders in the 4X, the racing is hard and fast in both types of competition. Gee and Rachel are both former world champions and Gee is the current World Cup Downhill Series champion, and all this before they are even 30!
