Emma is back !
I landed in England last week to be welcomed by glorious sunshine and 2 degrees. It looked great from the window on the National Express coach that I was travelling in but didn't feel so good after 9 weeks of Spanish sun!
However, I soon remembered why I loved riding in this country as the Yorkshire countryside greeted me that same afternoon. The cold snap continued for 3 more days and I was thankful to be on 4 (perfectly timed) recovery days, an hour and a half was long enough to turn my feet into ice blocks. I dread to think how I'd have been if I'd have had a 5 or 6 hour session to do!
I spent 4 days with my parents then moved on to Cheltenham for 3 days. The training is equally as enjoyable there with the Cotswolds, the Malverns and the Forest of Dean all within comfortable riding distance. I thoroughly enjoyed riding with my old club and catching up with people.
I am now in Belgium after a long day of travelling which involved missed the 8am ferry by about 10 minutes. This frustratingly mean that I had to face Brussels ring road at 4.30pm. Argh! However, I did manage to fit in collecting my beautiful new team bike. Watch this space for a pic next time!!!
