Not written for a while, struggled with an injury over winter but everything is okay now.
Just come back from Belgium where I’ve been styaing with the other Academy girls in a house in Oudenaarde. They are now based there so I’ll be joining them as soon as the exams are over…9 weeks and 2 days…not that I’m counting! It was really good to see the other girls and do some good training. Went to watch Tour of Flanders too which was amazing…although I wished I could have been rding! we stood on the Kapelmuur and watched as the womens race came up it! There were crowds all the way up the climb…the Belgians definitely like a bike race!
Did a mix of long rides and turbo sessions whilst I was out there…mostly double days. Went up a few testing cobbled climbs too…the roads around there are brilliant as they are a mix of flat and hillywith cobblest too, so its easy to do a recovery ride but good for doing efforts or a hard ride.
I’ve got my first race in a couple of week which is part of the Women’s National Series, the Cheshire Classic. Looking forward to racing again as thats what its all about!
