I got into cycling as a way to save money when I first moved to London on a low charity wage. 10 years on and it's safe to say that I've probably spent all the money I saved commuting over the years on more bikes and gear ;-) But my love of cycling is still first and foremost because it is simply the best way of getting around. After riding my old mountain bike across town for a few years I decided to sign up to the London triathlon in 2015 to raise money for charity (pretty much on a whim) and got my first road bike (which I still own). I then moved across town and joined Windrush Triathlon Club in 2018 - I was particularly drawn by a female head coach and training sessions at Herne Hill Velodrome, a place where I now spend a considerable chunk of my week (we really are so lucky to have it on our doorstep!) and which has helped my cycling no end. Ride London, two half Ironmans, Lanzarote training camp and much cycling across England, France & Spain have followed in the years since. I'm always thinking about my next adventure and challenge on a bike, this year will be a triathlon up a mountain (Alp d'Huez, wish me luck!) a start to track racing and more bike packing.

I'm always happy to chat bikes, gear, route planning or bike packing and I love to see people get the bug for cycling. I'm really excited about all the club rides we're going to have in 2022 and I hope to see you on one soon!

I love riding my bike, I love thinking about riding my bike, I love talking about riding my bike, I love talking about bikes… have I mentioned I love bikes?

I discovered cycling three years ago when I innocently followed a friend into a bike shop, to come out an hour later with my very first road bike. Things quickly escalated, with me entering the Ride to Brighton, followed by the London Prudential ride, and then soon after discovering Triathlon and Windrush. I like to spend my mornings chasing sunrises and grinding up unnecessarily large hills, and have recently gotten into track cycling. It’s a lot of fun!

Windrush is a brilliant place for people with a shared passion to get together to train, socialise and more importantly, eat cake.

I am passionate about encouraging people into cycling and more than happy to answer any of your cycling and triathlon questions (if I don’t answer right away it’s probably because I am cycling). The club has forum posts as well as WhatsApp groups with a wealth of shared knowledge and experience. We offer regular group bike rides, as well as dedicated training sessions. More information can be found in the MyClubhouse or Cycling WhatsApp group.
