Amy Roberts Blog: Back to the Races!
So after a long time out of racing due to illness it was time to get back to it. With my first race being Bene ladies tour, pretty much right on the boarder of Holland and Belgium. It started off with a very early morning and a taxi ride to Bristol to catch our 7am flight to Amsterdam. It was nice to have Anna travelling with me too. We got to Amsterdam where Lucy and Lars were waiting to take us home. Again I was lucky enough to be having them as hosts for the next week. Once we arrived we did a nice spin to get the travel out the legs...

It’s been a tough last few weeks for me and things haven’t really gone how I hoped. With a very busy start to the season having lots of racing it eventually took its toll on my body and I have ended up picking up a virus.

The national champs, esp the time trial, were going to be a big goal for me but with them fast approaching at the end of this month, its looking like I’m not...

We did the first 75km of the route in the car and stopped at a local school to meet the...

As I’m coming to the end of nearly a month of being away racing and training in Holland and Belgium I thought it would be a good time to update you all on how it’s going….. So far this year I’ve been lucky enough to get lots of racing in the legs and get into my first full road season without having a winter on the track. This block has consisted of quite a few races starting off with Dwars door Vlaanderen – a small Flanders type race with some of the cobbled climbs and sections, so a tough one. For me it went pretty well,...
