After weeks of racing and training the highlight of my favourite racing so far this season has been the Tour Series. After racing three rounds with team mates Nicola and Frankie, Oxford, Peterbourgh and Stoke On Trent, I was buzzing. The atmosphere in all three rounds was amazing!! It was fun to be racing crits with great crowds. The first round was a big shock to the system! VERY FAST... Legs just about held on! Second round after riding round the course to get a feel for it, was my favourite. I knew what to expect this time, prepared for the speed, so I did much better with a good result to finish just behind the bunch in a group of 10 riders. The third and final round was, let’s say, VERY windy with hit and miss rain. The twisty course was fun - my favourite part had to be the fast decent down under the bridge! I performed well again finishing around 20th and Nicola 18th. Good results!!
Whilst racing the Tour Series with my team mates, we didn’t miss out on a chance to paint ourselves matching nails! It all started at the Junior road race Championships, when myself, Nicola and Lauren accidentally turned up with matching pink nails...! For the following races together we went all out for the NEON YELLOW team colour and logos!! The wheel changing and cleaning bikes had to wait. Now after the tour series i'm in full training and working/coaching ready for my trip to America!
More soon... keep you posted,
