WELCOME BACK TO THE CHANNEL!
Thank you for being here - recognise I've had another hiatus from the channel whilst I've been poorly (again). But what a video to come back with.
In this video, I'm at the Tour de Femmes 2024, over in Rotterdam for stage 1 - super kindly on a PR trip with @skoda (official partners of the tour of course). Join me as I take you to the event village, behind the scenes with the tour buses looking for Alison Jackson to dance with, chatting to some incredible women within the cycling space... riding the last 40km of the stage course. AND OF COURSE, catching the end of the race to see Charlotte Kool take the win.
UNREAL. A reach pinch me day.
I was so thrilled to be in the company of other superb women - Greete Steinberg, Fatima Bertoni, Heidi Messner, Natalie Messingham (of CakesnCycles) and @amy.cycling.adventures. Cracking girls trip. And of course, @AlexDowsettOfficial who stood in for Chanel. Sorry for the footage of you in your pants, Alex. And let me know when you're ready to see if you can shake me off your wheel. I'm serious, I want a bike sponsor off Andy Schleck and will fight for it....even if it is Trek.
Right, enough blurb. Hope you enjoy. And thanks ever so much for being here and sticking around. Making these vids and sharing some amazing people fills me with joy. We need more humans lifting other humans up - as there is space in this world for everyone.
Thanks so much for all your support. As ever, always so thankful for any likes, comments and subscribes.

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike - I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging - which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike - the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.
