If you follow me on Instagram, you might recently have seen a post about a massive change in my circumstances this year. We now have a daughter. Actually, we have had a daughter for a while but just chose not […]
Something ordinary made special
Sometimes in our efforts to do more, see more and live more we can if our efforts to do something epic we can miss what’s happening right in front of our faces. Adventure doesn’t need to be big, it doesn’t […]
Gravel Paradise in Mallorca
If you’re looking for a gravel holiday in the sun somewhere cheap and just a couple of hours flight from London, let me propose Mallorca. Just recently, I enjoyed the island’s extensive gravel trails at the inaugural Toros de Gravel event and […]

Splat! Red Hook Crit Milan 18
It was meant to be the glorious end to the year’s racing. Training for the race had been a constant throughout the summer. I was hoping for a satisfying finish to a season, something to be proud of and I’d […]
A Grumpy Brussels City Crit
A couple of weekends ago I was standing next to a van shivering in torrential rain feeling sorry for myself. I contemplated hurtling around a wet 1km circuit on a brakeless track bike. I thought of the corners, two tight hairpins […]
Summer In Brief

Review: Chrome Niko F-Stop Camera Bag
There’s a whole lot I like about Chrome Industries products. Their products are aesthetically pleasing, they work with people I like such as Kelli Samuelson, they’re rooted in messenger culture without being exploitative or getting it all wrong and their […]
I Just Got The Bike Of My Dreams
I’m not sure if I’m being silly or not (silliness being a speciality of mine) but I actually feel kind of bad about being so lucky when it comes to bikes. As you guys probably know, I have […]

Review: Lost Lanes West
We all have favourite routes that we go back to time and time again. There’s so much to be said for familiarity, dependable cafes and hills in all the places you expect (and none of the places you don’t). However, […]
A Triple Race Week
You know that saying about buses? You wait all day and then three come along at once? Well yeah, that. For various reasons such as clashing dates, travel, family, work (as well as a real cooling off of racing in […]
Can Women Handle a Tour de France?
It’s no great secret that I care about equality and get regularly wound up by the injustices women face in many aspects of our lives. I’m a feminist. But I make that statement as a privileged white woman living in […]
Check Out: ASSOS UMA GT Women’s Collection
My cycling wardrobe is far superior to my regular wardrobe in pretty much every way, thanks to the fact I’m sponsored by ASSOS. Every time I open a package from them I have to pinch myself – it’s a complete […]

Stage 13 of Le Tour with 13 incredible women
Speeding down the road from Les 2 Alpes, I unzipped my jacket as the sun’s warming fingers crept around the vertiginous peaks standing sentry on either side. I was on my way to meet Donnons des Elles au Velo J-1, […]
