Happy Friday! If you look very closely this shows

Happy Friday! If you look very closely this shows I reached 21,642 words yesterday, which makes me about a quarter of the way through writing my book 😲. Which alongside a crazy week at the job I actually get paid to do, feels like a small and wonderful miracle!

Each chapter is about a different rider and I don't play favourites with them, but I REALLY enjoyed writing the last one about @l_deignan It was a real privilege getting to talk to her in the early days of motherhood and I loved revisiting the inspiring journey she went on this week. Shout out to @bespoke_m for making the interview happen 😁

If officially knackered now and looking forward to a weekend away from the screens.

Hope you have a lovely weekend X

Just got word I have an unconditional place confirmed to start a master's in sports psychology @staffsuni in September. Woo hoo!

I'll be studying part-time alongside my job and having done this before I'm both excited and terrified about what I know lies ahead.

I have no doubt it will be a combination of fascinating learning, alongside incredibly hard work. Going back to studying is always daunting but I know it's worth the challenging journey.

It's a wonderful feeling knowing you always have the potential to do something different and forge a new path in life.

Bring on the hump day happiness with @kategyoga .

Bring on the hump day happiness with @kategyoga . I look forward to my Wednesday yin class so much, it's a wonderful chance to slow down and find some calm. In yin classes you hold the poses for slightly longer and Kate's particularly joyful class incorporates toasting yourself with a drink (hot chocolate for me tonight!). I've practiced yoga for a long time but I think lockdown living has made me appreciate it on a whole new level, despite the fact I have to practice in a space so small I can barely stretch without hitting some kind of random object. If you're looking for a way to unwind, or want to try something new I can't recommend Kate enough. Yoga is also awesome for cyclists as I've wrote about before 🧘🏻‍♀️✌🏻

How do we feel about saying hello to people whilst

How do we feel about saying hello to people whilst out riding? 👋🏻On Sunday as I was happily pedalling along at a very slow speed and was surpassed by a man and a boy, both of whom said hello to me. I was so unbelievably overjoyed I nearly fell off my bike! I'm always saying hello and smiling at fellow cyclists on the road and no one ever reciprocates. I quickly grabbed my phone and took a photo as they cycled away into the distance. Not because it would make a great photo, but because it serves as a lovely reminder that there are other friendly beings out there on the road.

I've spent most of my life as a walker and it's just part of the code to say hello to whoever you're passing in a field or on a mountain. And I love that. I wish cycling was the same! I'm curious though, how do you feel about it?

Woo hoo! 12,238 words! Writing a book is a long process so I promised myself I'd stop, take stock and celebrate every 10,000 words. Today seemed to be particularly full of inspiration though and I kept going until over 12,000. Super happy to say that I now have a first draft of chapters on @alexdowsett and @alisontetrick and a good way into one about @aunicornvomitted. Now someone give me a 🍻

"What did you think when you looked at the front c

"What did you think when you looked at the front cover of this women's issue? A woman's mouth, we are told by society, is sensual, sexual. It is there to be consumed, it is an object. It is the accepted narrative of advertisers, film-makers, storytellers.

But a woman's mouth is also the means through which they tell their stories.

This is not a confrontation, but invitation; it is celebration."

And what a celebration it is!

Every fibre of my being smiled when reading the opening words from @sportsorla in the @rouleurmagazine women's issue.

And I kept on smiling as I poured through the 144 pages of beautifully thought provoking words and images, crafted to captivate and inspire.

A true triumph.

Chapeau to all involved.

Happy Friday! If you didn't see this a couple of weeks ago and you're looking for something interesting to read over another weekend on lockdown, follow the link in my bio.

I catch up with @tuftsadventuretours about 2020 and what life looks like now he's back living in Canada.

Every chat with Svein is thought provoking and inspiring, and this one was no exception!

Have a lovely weekend✌🏻

Writing day. How amazing are orange Twirls?! I buy three every time I see them as they're limited edition and I never want to run out. It's all about the small things.

I always cycle through the local parks to check out the pond life. Any body of water is relaxing, no matter how small, or how many rats you see hanging around 🐀#londonparklife

#ThrowbackThursday to a time when is was warm enough to comfortably cycle to the park in shorts and t-shirt and get out the yoga mat.

I recently wrote a piece about my love of cycling and yoga for @rheacycling in collaboration with @kategyoga If you're even a little bit intrigued about how yoga can improve your life on the bike, check out the link in my bio for a short introduction to some awesome hip opening postures 🚴🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️

I just got back from a lovely, reflective ride. When I pedalled away from the house this morning I felt incredibly sad. I'd just watched my wonderful friend @liza.stroud1 and her lovely family move out of the flat below ours. I felt like my home was being ripped apart.

But, whilst stomping down on the pedals I thought about the words my wise coach @shannonmalseed told me: "You can choose to live in love, or in fear."

I thought about that the whole time I was riding and focused on how lucky I was to have had two wonderful years with Liza, Mark and Flo as neighbours. I felt grateful that they'd found a new house and are starting a new journey there today.

There will no doubt be more tears when I wake up tomorrow and realise Liza won't be delivering me my usual Friday soup, but, I'll remember to live in love and keep her close to my heart, even though she's no longer close in presence.

♥️♥️Live in love♥️♥️

In the need for a little Monday motivation? Check out this piece I've written for @rheacycling about how I'm trying something new and linking my passion for cycling with my passion for yoga.....

Yoga is to cycling, what a fry up is to a night out, an antidote to putting your body under some pressure, a way to fill you up when you’ve emptied the tank, a warm and comforting hug to sooth the soul. We, as cyclists, are gluttons for punishment. Nothing makes us feel better than a hard day in the saddle, we relish the pain and suffering. We want to end the day face-planting in our soup.

But how often do we think about the long-term impact on our bodies? And how often do we do something to counteract the negative consequences of loving life on two wheels just a little bit too much?

Probably not that often, I’m guessing.

Maybe you already do yoga, maybe you don’t. Whichever camp you’re in, I'm sharing my experience with the hope that you may learn something about your existing practice or be inspired to take up something new in 2021.

With help from my wonderful yoga teacher @kategyoga I share some tips on how to stretch your hip flexors, a group of muscles often ignored my cyclists, much to our peril.
