Scottish Cyclocross Champs – Power enough to rip through metal

Yes, these legs of mine managed to do this…

(…end a cross race VERY quickly. Good job guys.)

That was pretty much my race. After last weeks horrendous race performance I was finally feeling fully recovered and ready to race and redeem myself in the world of cyclocross. After a pre lap with the [...]

Relentless… A dirty weekend!

This race was the absolute filth! 3 weeks previous I agreed to taking part inthe Relentless 24hr race – it seemed like a good idea… but after my first two laps and coming in like this:

 

Â
It didn't feel like a good idea anymore, AT ALL!!! Two laps down six to go… yay.

I [...]

Final BMBS Round, Plymouth- 9hr drive, 1 mint course, 3 laps, two legs, one bike…

…would it all come together? It's been a long season with every race throwing a different challenge at me. What was going to happen in this race? Could I still come out on top? I knew I had to win if I wanted to win the British Series title. After riding the super slippy and [...]

First ever downhill race!!! Best. Fun. EVER!

After the worlds it was time for a bit of fun and, this weekend, was definitely fun, it was amazing! So, downhill is quite different from racing XC where it is an hour and a half of pain and the descending part is about staying alive and trying to recover with the heavy cloud hanging [...]

The World XCO Championships – the view from behind…

I tell you something: after arriving in the dark,  then opening the the curtains the next morning to the spiky mountain tops of Switzerland, it was a sight and a half:

Little did I know 4 days later I'd be looking at the crushing sight of the whole junior women's field sprinting away from me as [...]

So it’s off to the Worlds for Winton

At 17.10 this evening I will be leaving bonnie Scotland for the breathtaking Switzerland! I've never been before but, from what I've heard, It's going to be incredible!! The technicality of the course certainly sounds in my favour… hopefully this will be the turning point in my season!
I've been in and out of Edinburgh [...]

EUROPEAN XC CHAMPS!! What really happened…

Okay, so I didn't expect to be here after the race:

(Just to clear something up: this is not due to the 'sickness I suffered from all week' that had been reported elsewhere)
Slovakia had set us a back breaking course – literally! We had great weather on the lead up to the race [...]

Last of the summer

We're almost at the end of another Track season at Preston Park. Once again I promised myself I'd go to more but clashes with road and MTB races meant that I've only been 4 times this year. But what good times they were. I get such a buzz/slightly sick feeling from these. Great [...]
