Marxa Ciclista del Pavo 2010

News from Spain where Iona is enjoying two weeks of warm winter training with Vicky...

Iona competed in the annual "March of the Turkey" race on Boxing Day, which finishes with a climb up Coll de Rates. 

 

She surprised herself by winning the race and was even more surprised when she found out that her prize was a turkey!




You can watch a video of the 2008 race here.

December days

Winter has arrived but despite the snow, ice and freezing temperatures, we've been riding our bikes!

Naomi has (re)discovered mountain biking and has thoroughly enjoyed exploring some of the trails in the Chilterns. We've heard rumours of some serious off-road plans for next summer...

Gail has stuck to riding on skinny tyres... but not always in the upright position! Thankfully no serious damage done.

Vicky, Iona and Steph are going in search of some sunshine and warmer weather. Steph will be heading back to Malta over Christmas and Iona is going to visit Vicky, who has been riding out in Spain.

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
