I’ve had a great start to September with a whistle stop tour of The Alps region in France for training. Starting in Annency with some big storms and a soggy few days in the tent and out on the road!! Then thankfully the sun came out as I headed down to Mount Ventoux, Alpe Du Huez and a monster 100 mile ride tackling the Col du Galibier and the Col de la Croix-de-Fer which had an overall elevation of 15,000 feet, which was a leg burner to say the least!! Then I headed back to the UK for my first Cyclocross race of the season the next day, it was great to be back on the cross bike and I was really happy to come away with 1st U23 and 2nd Elite.
