Here I am, back in the UK, with a mild sun tan, a big smile, and hopefully slightly fitter! :-)
The Sunshine Cup is rightly famous for its challenging terrain. It is a world class mountain bike race and my main aim was to complete each stage to the best of my abilities. It is a tough race and the chances for misfortunes are very possible. Well, I'm not going to bore you with my fortunes and misfortunes...what counts is that I achieved my aims and made it to the end! I finished 30th overall and earned 11 UCI points ...can't complain, can I?!
I shared this experience with a good friend of mine, Natasha Barry who is racing as an elite this year, and we are both thrilled about the whole experience.

The organisers of the Sunshine Cup were so friendly and helpful, and made the race an enjoyable experience. We loved every minute of our stay in Cyprus.
I'd like to thank John Fry, the mechanic from Corridori Cycles, whom the night before I flew out, received an urgent call for help from a desperate girl who needed help with her bike. Like a knight in shining armour, he gave up his evening to fix things….....John proved not only to be a great mechanic but also a great man! :-) Thank you John!!!
