I travelled out to Middelkerke in Belgium with the GB squad to represent Great Britain in the Junior category of the UEC Cyclocross European Championships. This was a fantastic opportunity for me to ride in my first Cyclocross race abroad as a junior. The racing was hard and fast on a different type of course than I am used to with lots of sand. Unfortunately, I crashed on the first corner leaving me in last position, I managed to fight my way back to finish in 32nd place overall out of 64 riders. Not the result I was hoping for, but lots learnt and a great experience with lots of positives to take away. Really looking forward to doing more racing in in Europe and hopefully improving with each race I do.
Thank you to the Jack Bloor fund for supporting me and helping make the trip possible.
