never, never, never give up: May 2008
http://davinasummers.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 26, 2008. Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is (Vince Lombardi). My main road cycling goals for the year, thus far, have been:. Win (SRS) Pemberton criterium and Road Race- because it was my first road race ever (last year) and I came very last and remember the feeling like it was yesterday (won them both). Win a stage at (NRS) Tour de Perth (won 2 stages). Win a stage at (NRS) Mooball, NSW (won the TT stage, a little unexpected, but nonetheless meeting the goal). In the other stat...

never, never, never give up: Bonkfest and beyond
http://davinasummers.blogspot.com/2008/09/bonkfest-and-beyond.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Sunday 7th September- SPR Hills ride. All was good until we got to the base of Greenmount and Luke had decided that he had ridden far enough before work and turned around. A few hills later we lost a few of the women, then the crash. A few of the guys in front of me went down, the crash was happening in slow-motion and it was like…is this really happening? All were okay minus some lost skin, a broken rear derailleur and the usual bike scrapes. Labels: Bonkfest- SPR ride.

Saturday, September 13, 2008. The decisions, outcomes and achievements of today, affect tomorrow. There is no clean slate. The week in summary: too many hours on the bike left little time to plan and organize. Base kms, base kms, base kms…just ticking them over. Thankfully I have had plenty to daydream about this week. It has kept my mind off not drinking diet coke (for the most part) anyway. This weekend our Plan B Team is entered into the Cyclosportif Grand Fondo. Til next time- ride lots. 1st SRS- Pem...
