I moved from Townsville to Canberra in 2007, and on realisation that I was now living in a landlocked city, I quickly came to the realisation that my outrigging days had come to an end. Needless to say, I was on the hunt for a new sport, which is when I became involved in cycling. It all began with my first race in Women’s B grade at Wednesday night crits, and the rest is history.
