20-something London girl who likes to think she can ride a bike but is really pretty slow. She does possess a shiny Bianchi, but this doesn't seem to help much. While she'd never forsake said Bianchi, should wouldn't mind Valverde's bike as an addition. And also Samu's. She hearts all things Basque, including cider, txakoli, pelota (see her blog below!), the letter X, Igor Anton and the colour orange. Singing often gets in the way of watching cycling, which is annoying, much though she loves to sing.

Life ambitions:
1) To do the Etape du Tour before she's 40
2) To meet Daniele Bennati
3) To get up the Koppenberg without wimping out

a fan of

Bennati, Pozzato, Valverde, Boonen, Euskaltel Euskadi, Rapha Condor, Intxausti, Capecchi, Portal, Lovkvist, Swift, Dessel, Deignan, Roche, Quinziato, Fuglsang, NIELS ALBERT! Cyclist(s)
