Dwars door de Westhoek
UCI1.2 Belgium, July 18th
I managed to find my way to Swift (our cycling club house) with my Leiden road map placed firmly on my handlebars (it is times like these that I wished I had of spent more money on the bigger/better Garmin to get me around). The Team Director; Hans [...]
So, before I know it, the Giro is over and I am in Holland. I have arranged to race with a Club Team here; SwaboLadies http://www.swaboladies.nl/ Now I have inserted the website more for a pictorial overview (unless your Dutch is better than mine!). Spanish, Italian and now Dutch…I am sticking with Span-glish and still [...]
Stage 3 (ITT) and beyond- Giro Donne (Giro d’Italia Femminile)
Italy (for the most part), July 2-11 2010
Today I woke feeling pretty darn average, at the time, I thought I was just a little fatigued, but now in hindsight, I can clearly see I was starting to be terribly sick. I will spare you the details [...]

WA State Individual Time Trial Championships- Dardanup 24.1km
Dardanup is about 2 ½ hours drive south of Perth, a long way to go for 24kms, I am aware. I still would have liked to seen more women come out and support this event, making it a better race. The conditions were pretty good, the wind was [...]
Canberra Tour May 3-5
So, the background for this tour goes something like:
On the way from work to Monday night training (entries about to close at this point in time): Davina (through speaker phone): randomly ranting about the lack of long hills in Perth, small number of women racing on the weekend etc
Coach: ah, hu…
Davina: actually, [...]
McDonalds’ Richard’s Bay Circuit Race
Sunday 22nd March 2010
Owen Botha (Team Owner) is from this region of South Africa, so he was very keen that we support and do well at this race. After an 8 hour drive from home in Pretoria to Richard’s Bay (on the east coast) on Saturday we arrived to be [...]
Pick and Pay Cape Town Argus
Argus and Cape Town were amazing! Pretty windy and there were plenty of (mostly) men in our bunch not able to handle their fancy deep dish wheels in the wind. But all good. We did not get too much into the Whooplas, as both hands were required to keep your [...]
