There was a terrible moment when I realised I was going to be about 3kms short for the Rapha Women’s 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had been so sure when I set out that I would get it. I was so certain I’d gotten it right and that adding a lap of the boulie before meeting up with the other women I would be riding with would give me the extra 20 or so kms I needed. Well, I was wrong! I realised that I’d miscalculated when I was still about 6kms out from home. D’oh!<\/p>\n

Riding anywhere near 100kms is a big ask for me at the moment. I’m on the way to restoring my fitness – on and off the bike – but I still have a long, long way to go. I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to achieve the 100kms. But I did. I did it. Admittedly I had to ride around my suburb for about 20 minute to get the extra but I did. It seems like such a crazy thing to do but I guess I really am a cyclist because come hell or high water, I was getting that 100kms.<\/p>\n

I so often struggle to find motivation. It’s been really hard to get back on the bike but I think I’m falling in love with it again. It’s such a huge part of me and my relationship with my husband. Without my cycling, I would’ve never meet him and I would’ve missed out on what’s turning out to be a pretty awesome adventure with him.<\/p>\n

But this day was about my female friends and that’s fantastic too. I have so many wonderful, strong, fun women in my life now because of my bike. <\/p>\n

It was a great day<\/a>. Thanks to Bek, Marta, Louisa and Helen for making it so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
