Tour of Fjords & Hammer…

It was my first time in Norway, so I was excited to pin a number on for the Tour of Fjords – a three-day stage race on the Southern coast. The few things that initially pop into my mind when I…

Tenerife Training Camp

Taking a step back before Romandie, I had spent 12 nights sleeping at 2200m above sea level for some altitude training. We were staying in a Hotel at the top of El Teide, which happens to be the most frequented…

Tour of Romandie

I was a little bit scarred with memories of this race in 2017, experiencing some of the worst weather I have had to race in. I distinctly remember stage 2, racing in sleet and snow and having difficulty trying to…

Criterium du Dauphine

The Criterium du Dauphine is the final lead up race for the Tour de France for many. Chris Froome, Richie Porte, Alberto Contador, Simon Yates, Daniel Martin, Nairo Quintana and Jakob Fuglsang were big names on the start list, just…

Tour of California

Ok so I just have to get something off my chest before I go any further with this Amgen Tour of California post. The buffet sucked. There, I said it. My first international race was with Drapac in 2014 for…

Tour of Romandie

Tour of Romandie was my first time in Switzerland, and I was pretty excited about it. And it didn’t disappoint! From the moment we landed in Geneva to the train ride over to our hotel, the countryside is truly spectacular.…
