Hi everyone,

It's been absolutely ages since I last wrote a blog post about myself and what I've been up to. Indeed it is getting close to a year ago now. My blog in the last year has instead become an occasional site for a bit of campaigning, mainly to do with the current state of UK road racing (see here, here and here).

Anyway, my last "proper" blog was for Veloveritas in June - http://www.veloveritas.co.uk/2012/06/16/whats-going-on/ in which I explained that I didn't ...

It makes sense to assume that all is well in between, too, right? Unfortunately not; BC is the governing body for beginner’s racing, Regional racing (2nd and 3rd cats), all levels of women's road ...
