Hi and welcome to my website.
I hope that you enjoy browsing around my website and learning a little bit more about me. I will keep my website up to date with regular diary entries and photo galleries throughout 2008.
2008 is my first year with Britain’s first professional women’s team – Team Swift Racing. The team has been established since 2005 and continues to grow, this year securing a five year contract with Swift Motor-homes. Follow me this year as I attempt to come back from two years plagued with injury and sickness.
In 2005 I was involved in a hit and run accident. After a fantastic break through year on the road with the Belgian based Vlaanderen team I was riding to the Manchester velodrome on 10th October when a car turned in to the cycle lane and then drove off and left me with a broken back. In 2006, six months and 6 days after the accident I raced to a bronze medal in the Commonwealth Games, proving to be a true ‘wonder woman’ (Manchester Evening News March 2006).
In 2007 I suffered from a deep vein thrombosis caused by the contraceptive pill and had to take 6 months of from the sport I love. Whilst recovering I started commentating and now regularly sit besides David Harmon and Sean Kelly in the commentating booth at Eurosport.

See you again soon,
