Hello! Just had a lush week off work and the socia

Hello! Just had a lush week off work and the socials down in lovely Dorset.

Every morning started with yoga, before a swim in the sea. Despite the wind, my balance really improved over the week. And despite the fact the sea was bloody freezing, I weirdly grew to love it and couldn't believe how much peace it brought me.

It's always a wonderful feeling when the power and beauty of nature, and your place within it, surprises you.

Having the chance to slow down and spend some quality time outdoors felt like such a huge gift, particularly after all the challenges of the last year.

Shout out to @kategyoga for taking my yoga to a whole new level and giving me the confidence to practice it wherever I am, no matter how inflexible or ungraceful I may be, no matter who's watching.

✌🏻❤️🧘🏻‍♀️🌊🌳🦀🌍

First day of not having to wear a winter's hat in an age, meaning I could finally rock my @thecyclistsalliance cap! Also, after a morning of writing, I reached over 67,000 words, so I'm super happy, in all the ways. Hope the sun's shining wherever you are 😎🌞

My #MondayMotivation today is reflecting on my time with this lovely lady, @shannonmalseed

I recently finished my first three month coaching journey with Shannon and it blows my mind how much of an impact she had in such a short time 🤯

I initially spoke to her as I was interested in her transition away from professional cycling, into coaching. But her incredible positivity and different view on the world made me so compelled to keep talking to her, I ended up being coached myself.

Every week was like getting a mind massage 🧠❤️🧠❤️🧠 Honestly it was such an incredible experience and I cannot recommend Shannon enough for all your coaching needs (and the ones like me, you didn't even realise you had)!

Few things make me happier than a new book arriving through the door! This I am reliably informed is the bible of all academic research into athlete retirement, an area I'm looking to specialise in when I start studying again later this year.

On that subject, if you're looking for a great podcast to listen to this weekend, check out @gracieelvin talking to @cyclingtips about what she's been up to since retirement, and the updated mentor programme she and @hoogeboomroos are setting up with @irisslappendel and @thecyclistsalliance that will support those in the peloton, and those transitioning out of it.

Oh, and happy Friday 🎊👏🏻💪🏻😁

My new favourite thing to do after work is cycle to a local park and watch the little coot chicks swim around the pond. It brings me so much joy, what's more wonderful than those little red heads bobbing about on the water?!

On another note, can't believe I'm in wool desert boots and it's April!

It's spring...but also, not 🌞❄️🐣

Feel bloody knackered today so I'm in my sweats and taking this bad boy to bed to search out some inspiration! Where are your favourite places to ride? Anyone got any recommendations for places in Europe???? Because presumably one day we'll be able to be able to travel again! 🤞🏻✈️😎🌞

This week, one year ago, days before we all went i

This week, one year ago, days before we all went into lockdown.....I was in Andorra checking out Svein Tuft's new gravel touring business @tuftsadventuretours

Despite my love of watching racing, up until that weekend I'd never ridden a road bike, let alone a gravel bike. To cut a long story short I suffer from constant pain in my right arm due to an old injury, and I'd always been too scared of drop bars due to the increased pressure I knew they'd put on my wrist.

But, there was no way I was passing up a chance to see what the lovely legend that is Svein was doing, so I bottled my fears and went for it.

I found the position on the bike so alien my balance was all over the place, I couldn't work the gears to save my life, and there were frequent moments on the gravel when I simply jumped off rather than fall. But, I fucking LOVED it. Absolutely every second.

The incredible scenery, the great company and the joy and power that came with conquering a long held fear.

A year later and I go out twice a week on a road bike I bought not long after I came back from Andorra. My arm still hurts like fuck, but I've learned to block it out of my mind.

I'm so grateful for that weekend, and the journey of joy it opened me up to.

Repost @thecyclistsalliance
• • • • • •
Last week's unprecedented, fan-led crowdfunding campaign to secure equal prize money brought joy to all of us striving for change and fairness in the sport.

Fans are key to demonstrating the importance, influence and value of the sport. As athletes, we are delighted to see fans have such engagement and respect for our achievements and we appreciate their call for change.

Prize money is only part of the solution - fundamentally, the riders deserve a more stable economic environment.

So we want to help inspire fans, new and old to be a crucial part in leading the change and help build a better future for professional women's cycling.

Here are four simple steps. Together we can create change. Join us.

- - - -

1️⃣ WATCH: Vote with your remote. Tune in to get broadcast figures as high as possible! If there isn't coverage, speak out and demand it.

2️⃣ ENGAGE: Show how much you care. Tweet about races, Instagram them, attend them. Engage in the discussion and share stories about the athletes.

3️⃣ COMMIT: Follow teams on social platforms, sign up to their newsletters, engage with their content. Increase their profiles.

4️⃣ SPEAK UP: If you see inequality, call it out. Use your voices to demand equal coverage, equal prize money, professional salaries, racing opportunities.
