What a year 2019 was, with some incredible memories and new friendships formed. But it is also a year of sadness following the passing of my beautiful mum, and the grieving will follow me into 2020 and beyond. 1. An adventure to Antwerp, in order to study the city for my Diploma in Architecture. 2. The Glasgow School of Art, where I spent many waking hours completing my Diploma in Architecture, cycling having taken a temporary back seat. 3. Glasgow - Newcastle. One of several solo trips around the north of England. 4. Whitby Abbey, CP.2 of the inaugural @allpointsnorth.cc in which I finished 3rd female. 5. In Edinburgh, post @transalbarace - a 1700km race around Scotland in which I finished 2nd. 6. My mum, who sadly lost her battle with Multiple System Atrophy in August this year. 7. Coming out gay, finding my way! 🌈 8. Emily and I at the summit of the Cat and Fiddle, having survived some horrendous weather the previous day. 9. Cheddar Gorge with Lucy and Emily, a fabulous day out and reminder of what beauty we have on our doorstep. @emilyofchappell @greavescycles

Reposted from @purepeakgrit. If you’re looking for a challenge with a difference in 2020 then Pure Peak Grit should definitely be on the list. Earlier this year I was part of a 10 strong female team for the inaugural PPG. It’s a epic hill fest and ultimate test of Grit. You will need to bring your climbing legs ⛰⛰⛰ . The ride is 610km long with over 13,500m of ascent. It includes at least 42 hills around the Peak District with gradients of between 10-25%. . It would be brilliant to boost female entries. Ladies, if hills are your nemesis, get your entry in and conquer the fear! What’s more, your entry will also raise funds for @friendsofthepeak for which £1500 has already been raised. . https://www.purepeakgrit.cc/ . #purepeakgrit #whatgoesup #peakdistrict

The Trans Alba; 1075 miles around Scotland. My mum was my no.1 fan, and although she wasn’t able to see me start or finish the race this year she was routing for my dot the whole way. She is no longer with us and even though we said our final farewell on Friday her spirit will always accompany me wherever I ride. <3 May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. @transalbarace #roadslikethese #dowhatyoulove

My mum lost her battle with Multiple System Atrophy this week, aged 61. Mum, you never once complained and I love you for the gentle, kind and loving soul you always were no matter how tough or frustrating life seemed. MSA is a rare disease with around 3,300 people in the UK and Ireland currently living with it. This means that most people will never have heard of the condition, unless they themselves have already met someone with MSA. Sadly, this is also true for a lot of health professionals which is why the MSA Trust works to raise awareness and increase understanding of MSA throughout the UK and Ireland. It’s was Eileen’s wish to have no flowers, instead donations to the @msatrust to support the amazing work they do in helping people with MSA. Please visit the link in bio to donate or learn more! Thank you x https://www.msatrust.org.uk

Latergram.. CP2 on @purepeakgrit 200km in, I’m sorry to announce I’m a #purepeakgrit scratchee. Sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail. It seems that @transalbarace nocked a bit of stuffing out of me... Scratching is always a tough decision but this time I need to recover, regain and refocus in order to come back stronger next time.

CP1! @purepeakgrit #purepeakgrit
