Stories, thoughts and general chat from a woman who loves cycling, particularly in the hills and mountains. Sunday, 30 October 2011. The Women's 10 TT series trophy - originally the Vale of Leven. Clarion CC's Ladies Championship trophy from 1950. Last weekend I was very excited to see the All Blacks lift the Web Ellis Trophy, but I was equally excited to lift the West Lothian Clarion Women’s time trial champion trophy. Short and fast is not really my forte. Oh dear, I thought, this does look serious....

Driving up the M9, a rainbow appears from the murky Scottish Day as I listen to hyper pumping tunes on Radio 1 on the way to Balfron. Balfron is the HQ for the Lake Feminine APR, a women’s only handicapped road race. Why, as I near the age of 40, am I putting myself through this? Well a few reasons. Debbie is my club mate and fellow committ...

La Marmotte 2010: A Novice's Diary. This is my personal record of my attempt to complete La Marmotte 2010. Sunday, 21 March 2010. 103 Days to Go: Spring has sprung. Finally felt like spring was here this weekend. Felt very warm yesterday when I went out for a "hard as you can" burst around one of my normal training routes in an attempt to get faster and stronger on the hills. Time for a hot bath and a lovely green and blacks hot chocolate, with a shot of whisky. Links to this post. Sunday, 14 March 2010.

La Marmotte 2010: A Novice's Diary. This is my personal record of my attempt to complete La Marmotte 2010. Friday, 4 June 2010. 35 Days to Go: La Marmotte Recce Part 4 - Alpe D'Huez. Was always going to be my day of reckoning. Four years ago I rode up my first alpine climb, Alpe. Needless to say it took me about 1 hour 45 minutes to get to the top, including quite a few stops. So as you can imagine, my memory of Alpe. Was leaving me feel a little bit apprehensive. I was prepared for the start of Alpe.

La Marmotte 2010: A Novice's Diary. This is my personal record of my attempt to complete La Marmotte 2010. Sunday, 14 February 2010. 139 Days to Go: Winter Weight. The truth really came out yesterday when I went out with the club yesterday on the Social ride. Was a bit worried when I saw the shiny clean bikes and fit looking guys and thought I might have to try to hang on to the back of the Active group. Thankfully Andy turned up at the last minute (baring his legs in shorts! Links to this post. Hell Hat...

La Marmotte 2010: A Novice's Diary. This is my personal record of my attempt to complete La Marmotte 2010. Sunday, 25 April 2010. 68 Days to Go: Uphill Struggle. Wednesday night I linked up all the hills in the Bathgate. To focus on getting my climbing muscles into shape. 600 metres of climbing and loved every minute of it! Great, I thought, 2 days to recover until Saturday's long ride. Then I got overtaken by someone! And cut the ride short. That just left the final climb to get back to the starting poi...

La Marmotte 2010: A Novice's Diary. This is my personal record of my attempt to complete La Marmotte 2010. Sunday, 27 June 2010. 5 Days to Go: Shipping Out. Well the bags are packed for the flight to Lyon tomorrow so it's no going back now. I am fitter than I have ever been, developed muscle definition like never before and am pushing much bigger gears up the hills now. I have had tears, laughter, tantrums, hard days, good days, thrills and spills. Could I have done more training? Links to this post.

Abbie, Alex, Andrew, Chris, Erica and coach Matt entered for the grass track races at the Blackford Highland Games on Saturday and had an absolutely fabulous time riding the track. And struggled to find his usual form and trailed in not feeling so good. Chris's mum did a great job making him feel better by bringing out the Jelly Babies. By this time the game...
