The Rio Olympics are over. Now what? I’ve been going hard on the bike for four years. I had a month off after London, 2012 and then a second month pottering around on my bike, writing my own schedule. Since then I’ve generally had two, two week breaks per year, after each Track and Road

The Pride of being an Olympian

May 15, 2016

The Pride of being an Olympian I still remember the day our coach, Gary Sutton sat my teammates, Josie Tomic, Melissa Hoskins, Amy Cure and I down, the day before the 2012 Olympic Cycling Team was to be announced. We were on camp in Holland, sitting on the lounge in the corner of Sutto’s

107 days to go. We’re almost in double digits. It’s hard to believe that four years of preparation has almost come to an end. It has been an eventful four years to say the least.
