Cycling gets glamorous
By Hannah Rich - Horizon Fitness Racing Team
I arrived back from Belgium at 7am on Monday morning and went straight to college. Then I had a photoshoot arranged at Newport Velodrome for the Western Mail and Echo, and Wales on Sunday. They wanted me to wear a short black dress, and killer heels, but with my Kona bike. It was quite scary in parts, as lots of riders were whizzing by just inches away from us! It was good fun though, and I can't wait to see the final pictures. (I've attached one that the Horizon Fitness Racing Team PR Manager, Gayle, took).
Don't forget it is the Horizon Fitness Women's Grand Prix on the 17th in Stoke-on-Trent. I can't wait to race again with my team mates.
