  2. I had time today. There's no doubt I love cycling but there are some behaviours and traditions I'm not keen on. For example... 1. Giving someone a push e.g. when you’re riding uphill slowly and someone decides to give you a push. People should ask and if the answer is no that should be respected rather than try to force it. When I’ve expressed I don’t want a push people think I’m being difficult. I don’t like being touched unsolicited by strangers - it is triggering for obvious reasons. And I'm sure I'm not alone. 2. Random male cyclists drafting or sitting on your wheel when you’re riding uphill without saying a word and emerging from the draft zone when they’re near the top, without even saying hello. Bad vibes. What’s wrong with asking if you can sit on? It’s the polite thing to do and also considerate to a woman cycling alone who may already feel nervous or vulnerable. 3. Being blanked by cyclists when you say hello. When I first started group riding I really enjoyed this tradition. But it’s so hit and miss. And I don’t just mean Londoners. Many times I say hello and get nothing back. Funny though, I do get a lot of stares. 4. Men playing leapfrog with you after you pass them on the road aka being ‘chicked’. They’ll zoom past you and then can’t maintain the pace so you have no option but to pass them again - rinse and repeat, big feature of @ridelondon 5. People talking about earning their food by riding. *groan* Cycling is a sport and you need fuel to ride. What you eat is your choice but you do not need to ride for x hours to earn the right to eat a pastry. As active people we should have a better understanding of food and nutrition and we shouldn’t treat our bodies like The Hunger Games. A pastry provides enough carbs to fuel 30 minutes cycling. Anything you'd like to add? . . . . . . #womenscycling #roadcycling #blackwomencyclists #fitover50 #flyageless #healthy #fitfam #fitness #femalecyclists #cyclist #roadbikes #bikes #strava #runna #zwift #bikelife #bike #bikersofinstagram #cyclinglife #justride #cycling #cyclinglifestyle #blackgirlsride #agepositive #bodypositive

  2. Back in 2012, Wiggins had won the tour and the Olympics, Team Sky were crushing all-comers and it seemed everyone was buying themselves a road bike to celebrate. After all, what do most people do in a bike shop when looking for a new bike? That’s right, they grab the bars and the saddle and lift it up. “Oooh, that’s nice and light, and it looks fast, I’ll take one.” That was the state of play when the first Lost Lanes book came out in the spring of 2013. As a recalcitrant cycle tourist, I’ve never been averse to the odd rough track or grassy path, if I have the feeling it might lead me somewhere interesting. So I slipped a few non-tarmac bits into that first book, hoping that my readers might appreciate being led astray. For the most part I think they did. Having said that I did get some emails from readers complaining that this route or that wasn’t suitable for their shiny new road bike. I could only reply with a profuse apology. Ten years later, skinny tyred road bikes are where they belong, in the dustbin of history. Even the pros are racing on 28mm and the hottest bikes of today are gravel bikes. I can post a photograph like this and where once people would be grimacing and asking if there’s a tarmac alternative, now they’re wiping the saliva from their chins. This droolworthy serving of gravé is from Ride No.8 in Lost Lanes Central, the fifth book in the series. To be precise, it’s a sharp turn on the track from Lee Brockhurst (the Shropshire village, not the left-back) to Papermill Bank. I saw no evidence of a Papermill but there must have been one at some point. The bank is very much still there and the track climbs up a dark and moody cutting. It's is everything a location scout for some tasty gravel-adventure-bikepacking “content” could wish for. The ride’s called “About Time”. My description in the book wanders like the route itself, taking in, among other things, railway station clocks, 24-hour time trialling and the re-evaluation of colonial history in the light of Black Lives Matter. It’s the kind of landscape where it helps to have something to think on. #lostlanescentralengland #lostlanes #roughstuff #shropshire

  3. Less of a lost lane and more of a broken road. The A625 used to link the High Peak settlements of Castleton and Chapel-en-le-Frith, but the mountain up whose slopes the road once wound had other ideas. The lower slopes of Mam Tor are an unstable mass of shale rocks. Their instability has caused numerous landslips which give it an alternative name of the Shivering Mountain. Despite repeated rebuilding, the road just kept falling down the hill. In 1979 the engineers gave up and abandoned the road altogether. Since then, motor traffic heading that way must take the older route over Winnats Pass. But the bicycle always gets through, and I knew that I wanted to include this buckled and ruptured strip of tarmac in the book. It's a highlight of "Hope Springs Eternal", route No.2 in Lost Lanes Central England. The route packs an enormous amount into just over 25 miles. As Ben, a Sheffield-based friend who helped me devise and recce the route put it, this route is “all killer, no filler”. As well as a delicious backroad in the Hope Valley, there's quietude in and around Peak Forest and the magnificent ridge road through the hamlet of Bretton, past the excellent Barrel Inn. As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent a few days in the area with my family over half term. One rainy day we gave up on outdoor pursuits and decided to go underground and have a look around one of the several show caves in the Castleton area. We chose Treak Cliff, which is just off the old Mam Tor road, and is where deposits of the unique Blue John stone are still worked. It's a marvel and well worth the entrance price. It's very easy to think that going for a bike ride is all about riding the bike. I try hard to resist this mentality. And that's one of the great things about a shorter ride. You have plenty of time to do things off the bike along the way. If you've not yet got a copy of the book, you can order one via the Lost Lanes website (ye link in yonder bio). Just enter the code "Midlands" during the checkout for a free cloth patch by @mrahayes. #cycletouring #lostlanes #lostlanescentralengland #derbyshire #mamtor #roughstuff #exploring #peakdistrict

  1. Today, I would like to announce I am calling time on my Elite Cycling career. It’s been a long and amazing journey, starting out in the cold of Meadowbank, Edinburgh in 2006 to peaking at the Olympic Velodrome in the Team Sprint at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016. Cycling has been very good to me, I’ve made lifelong friends and realised my dream for which I am eternally privileged. I appreciate that 26 might seem to many quite young to be transitioning away from the track, but I have never considered myself just an athlete; I consider myself far more than that. Cycling is my first love and it was the ideal place with the perfect opportunities to focus my drive to achieve great things. Now, on 7/3/19, I’m looking for a new challenge, my next Olympics. I want to build on the skills and perspective I’ve learnt and gained as a competitor over the last few years, and go on to greater things. As some of you will know, I’m particularly passionate about giving back to sport, using my profile for good, whether that’s in supporting the long overdue reform of sports governance, LGBT rights and encouraging people to get on their bikes. My last competition and podium place was at the Commonwealth Games in The Gold Coast in 2018; it was great to finish on a high. Since that time, I have been on an extended break due to my health deteriorating. This has proved to be a very challenging time. Through seeking help outside the programme, and by the unswerving support of my friends, family and agent, I have made incredible progress and I’m pleased to say have almost fully recovered. My focus and effort now lies in working in partnership with British Cycling to continue to make the athlete experience more human whilst still maintaining that performance mindset. These two essential aspects are not mutually exclusive of each other. Overall, I have had an amazing time at British Cycling and would like to thank my current and former; coaches, performance support staff and team mates for an amazing and unforgettable ten years. I wish them every success going forward.

  1. It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessDay and to those that know me, it’s not news that I really struggled earlier this year. I started 2024 with big plans, and by February everything changed and I spiralled. Too many changes at once brought a lot of things I had been suppressing up to the surface. I struggled to sleep, to eat, felt anxious and to be honest, I felt completely untethered. I was floating through something that resembled life but I couldn’t feel it. It’s uncomfortable to think back to the worst of it. Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in the saying ‘time is a healer.’ I had to learn to sit with my feelings and experience them. But I also learned to lean on people close to me and accept help - something I have been awful at in the past. I also had therapy which helped, although I tried to avoid it by trying all sorts of other things first. Perhaps the hardest was feeling so uncomfortable on my own, something that used to make me happy. I couldn’t quiet my brain on bike rides and the thought of going on a solo adventure filled me with dread. I was scared I’d lost something that used to be important to me. Now (after plenty of time and work) I feel like me again…maybe even a bit better because I’ve grown a bit as well. My friendships are even more important to me than ever before, and stronger. I know I don’t have to be an island to be strong. I know that the good times are even sweeter because of the hard times. I’m lucky to have moved through this, but wanted to share in case someone else is struggling because it helps to know you’re not the only one. My DMs are open if you need to talk. 💕 No judgement.
