Bremen 6 day was my first race of 2020 and it couldn't have been a better start to the year! The women only raced 2 days with and Omnium and Madison over the weekend, but that meant that we raced with the biggest crowds and the best support! The live music coupled with the racing … Continue reading Starting 2020 with a BANG

EUROPEAN SCRATCH RACE CHAMPION
This year is the first time in 3yrs I've competed at the Elite European championships! Back in 2016 when I was 19, I raced the Team Pursuit and the first ever Womens Madison event and came home with a Bronze and a Silver medal! 2017 and 2018 I missed out on selection because I actually … Continue reading EUROPEAN SCRATCH RACE CHAMPION
2019 Road Season = COMPLETED
At the start of this year's road season I had no real race plans, with it being only 1yr out from the Olympic Games in Tokyo. I went through the race calendar and chose a couple of local races that I could do with my RST/CYCLE DIVISION team mates, that fitted around the track races … Continue reading 2019 Road Season = COMPLETED

I started the race last year, but after an untimely puncture followed by being sent the wrong way whilst chasing … Continue reading My CICLE Surprise

I am not a cat with 9 lives
Today I got told I should go into sales. I was chatting with one of the mechanics in the workshop at the Manchester Velodrome about the road bike that was given to me by Cycle Division bike shop (Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire) and my Cero wheelset that I have on it. I was telling him about a … Continue reading I am not a cat with 9 lives
Training camp for 2 in Croatia
Being based in the UK has its positives and negatives. The main negative being that in the winter it’s dark, it’s cold and it’s always wet. This may not be 100% accurate, but for someone who has to haul themselves out of bed and go out on the bike for hours on a daily basis, … Continue reading Training camp for 2 in Croatia
