Junior Champs – Next stop BELGIUM
It was a nice drive to Brynmawr town centre in Abergavenny with Jessie and her mum on Saturday morning for the Junior National Road Race Championships. Bright blue skies and not a cloud to be seen, it was destined to be a good day for us that was for sure. Luckily the race didn’t start [...]
My Bedford 2 Day – by Sarah Reynolds
Well I couldn’t believe the difference between this year’s Bedford and the last time I did it in 2008. I rode with Stef’s team last time as well in Swift Racing. Back then the competition wasn’t at a very high standard and the racing was quite negative. Well this couldn’t have been more different! There were a few good [...]

Dani King wins in Sinaai
After getting a kicking in my first few races on the road I’ve finally had a decent weekend. Saturday was Bredene, a UCI 1.2 race, to be honest an hour before the start I was sitting in the car listening to the pouring rain dreading what was to come. Being a racer, as soon as [...]

5 Hours in A&E, and my first 25 mile TT
So a number has been pinned on my back 3 times this season now, and so I thought a bit of reflection was needed. I’m sure many who have raced with me know bike racing makes me a little ‘hot headed’, the competitive streak in me is a strong one! Sometimes, in fact all the [...]
Jessie Walker hits the roads of Holland
Off I went again back into the BC team truck for the 2nd trip in a fortnight, I’d never raced abroad at all a month ago and here I am on my second official Great Britain team trip. Most of my team mates are used to this but to me its new and feels so [...]

Dani King: I’m finally over the jet lag
So, after just a week of being home I think I’m finally over the jet lag! Melbourne was in one word ‘amazing’! The weather was great, the city is now one of my favourites but ultimately it now holds the memory of becoming World Champion for the 2nd time! We went in to these Championships [...]
Johnson Health Tech GP Series Launch
On a cold and wet morning Penny and I headed down to Stoke-on-Trent for the launch of the 2012 Johnson Health Tech Tour Series, to represent the Matrix Fitness-Prendas girls. We rocked up in our swish team casual clothes, only to be out done by the Team UK Youth lads; Pov and Niklas. Wearing tailor [...]
Photo shoots and Live TV!
On Tuesday I arrived home from Australia after a long 36 hours of travelling but I felt surprisingly ok having been lucky enough to fly home business class. I spent a chilled day at home on Wednesday but then had a packed two days of media work in London planned for Thursday and Friday! I [...]
RockTape has really come in handy!
I’ve loved meeting the team here in France who were all already in Limoux when I arrived last week with their training well underway! Training camp got off to a good start and really enjoyed training with all the girls again in the sun! I enjoyed being here in Limoux on my week off work [...]
Yorkshire style, that’s how we roll
With only one day left it’s nearly the end of our team training camp and it’s just the Yorkshire lasses left; Annie, Penny and their mini me (Jessie). We have time to reflect on the good times from the past two weeks. With no worries in the world as time stands still here in Limoux, [...]
Video Shoots and Shopping for Shoes
Recently I did a video shoot at the Pure Gym in Stoke-on-Trent in order to promote women’s cycling and how we can change the view of how it is perceived to the wider public. The shoot took place at one of the largest Pure Gym’s in the country. For those of you that don’t know, [...]
Researching the Organic Food Debate
I definitely should be researching the Organic Food Debate right now, but I thought I could just fit in a quick blog from camp, just one of many forms of procrastination. So to set the scene I’m lying in bed, surrounded by notes, essay plans etc, not the normal scenes of a training camp but [...]
Balancing work, training and racing
After 2 years racing in Belgium and Holland for Moving ladies cycling team I decided to move back to England and take some time away from the bike. I got a full time job as Health Care Assistant and started to have a ‘normal life’ but for anyone who has lived a cyclist life normal [...]
Stretching Classes and Starbucks
Bonjour, Our first blog …. What to write?…Lets start at the beginning…. Kerrie and I met for the first time on route to the airport, with mixed feelings of nerves and excitement. We had no idea what to expect and what would be lying ahead of us in France at the training camp. After [...]

The team training camp has moved to Limoux in the South of France for 2012. The team (including 6 riders, team mentor, Manager, 2 soigneurs, digital media expert and two guest riders from Hargroves Cycles) have been getting stuck in structured days on the bike in the glorious sunshine in the region previously used for [...]
I genuinely love the feeling of riding my bike
I’m in Italy now for a training block following the team launch last week. It’s been a very happy past few days here in Italy, I enjoy waking up in my boyfriend’s apartment heading out on my bike in the sunshine, coming back to study and then later on relax to watching films or going [...]
Track League and Power in a solid winter
This winter I started 6th Form college which gave me a big shock with how much work I’ve got to do. I got myself into a routine of getting my school work done first so that I can dedicate the rest of my time for Cycling. In October I had a bit of a rest [...]
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hungry for another victory.
Instead of doing the usual ‘what have I been up to blog’ I thought id mix it up a bit and look ahead. The team has so much coming up to look forward to and so I thought I would share this with you. 10th March Our first major date on the calendar is our [...]
“We can do this… we can break a World record”
What an emotional rollercoaster I’ve just been through! From being the most upset and down cast that I’ve been in the past 12 months to one of the happiest and memorable moments of my life. During the selection week of London World Cup I became run down which resulted in not being selected for the [...]
