Can't visit Wrexham without spinning over to Llangollen and the Horseshoe Pass. Eternally bemused by the 22% sign, though, #yesitslong #noitsnot22percent . . . #horseshoepass #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #hills #prettyview #happy
Feel so privileged to be able to book @mauricebrennan in for a fit/assessment with the encyclopedia of body/bike relationship knowledge that is @philburtinnovation for an upcoming feature Maurice has been suffering with an ongoing knee issue, fingers crossed this gets him back to winning ways #bikefit #cycling #innovation
Wrote some words for @cyclingweeklymagazine this week, 6 pages on turning nervous energy into positive performance, with help from the fantastic @chrishoy1 @chimpmanagement_ltd @mindtrainingforsport #cycling #sport #competition #success
Feet up Thursday! Raced Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday - nothing new but this time it really took it out of me. Arrived at @sspcaterham last night, did about 3 box jumps and @coachdanieliaciofano be like "Err, you OK Michelle? Look a bit.. Flat." Flat when jumping onto boxes is not ideal. "Internet coaches" and "I'll put all your sessions in training peaks" planners don't tend to work for me, I like to plan my own weeks so they fit in with my life, but sometimes it's really good to get outside feedback from someone actually there #restday #chill #feetup #coaching #gym #sspcaterham #sspstrong
