If you have all followed one of our bloggers  Hannah Mayo’s  progress in her sport of cycling then you may have heard that she and 4 other members of her team were involved in a car accident in Belgium when a car ploughed into them during a training ride.

All 5 members of the team suffered injuries and because Hannah was on the outside she suffered the brunt of the impact and came off the worst.

Hannah broke both her legs, Lucy Martin suffered cracked vertebrae, Emma Trott sustained a broken collarbone and Katie Colclough was treated for concussion. The fifth rider, Sarah Reynolds, suffered a badly cut chin.

We are told that Hannah and the rest of the team will be returning to this country very soon to continue with their recovery.

All of us here at sportsshoes just want to wish Hannah and the rest of the team a very speedy recovery.

Good Luck Hannah, we are all behind you x

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!
