My story goes that cycling found me through a Talent ID programme called Girls4Gold. I lied about my age as I was too young in order to get tested out for different olympic sports. All I wanted to do from a young age was be a pro runner and without a competitive outlet I was a nightmare amongst 3 other competitive siblings so sport was the path!
My first ever race was a little scarring bolting over my bars and knocking out my front teeth, my dad popped them in some milk to preserve them for the duration of the ambulance ride. Undeterred I persevered on a wild 10 year journey riding out the highs and lows as a roadie. After 2 major surgeries to repair bilateral iliac artery endofibrosis and a struggle to ‘comeback’ I tried really hard to quit cycling and get a real job in 2021. However it was short lasting, the allure of gravel was too strong and so began a new chapter in 2022.
