Exams, Racing and more!!

 I havent blogged in a while so where do I start????

Uni.... I have now finished my first year at Uni and have to admit I have really enjoyed it. I have to wait till the end of the month to get all my marks back, but I have got one already, my Physiology work. This piece of work I put in alot of effort as it is something I really enjoy and am looking to focus on it. I was really surprised when I looked at the results and it showed that I got 71% which works out to the a first so I am mega happy with that :) Not back till September now so looking forward to a summer of riding my bike!!

At the end of May I travelled out to Majorca with James for 8 days to get a decent block of road riding in. I had never been out there before but have heard it is amazing for riding. I absolutely loved it out there, like everyone says the riding was amazing. Did loads of climbing and James made me do the Sa Calobra climb, hmmmm I cant say I enjoyed that lol The weather was great, really hot everyday ( we didnt use enough suncream and both burnt on the first day, muppets :) )

I didnt want to leave majorca!! But it was straight home and straight into racing as I had the first womens tour series the day after. Wow that was a shock to the system, I suffered loads! Racing has been going ok for me but not brilliant. The tour series has been great I just had hoped to get a better result. On Sunday I rode the Surrey League womens race, only a small number on the start line but a good race. I am happy to say I won, rode away from the group to win by 7mins.

 National road race next weekend so really looking forward to that. Its only 10miles away from where my sister lives so im going to go up next Wednesday to stay with her for a few days before the race :) cant wait :)





Last night I raced track league and got to use my new Specialized track bike for the first time :) I absolutely love it :)
