I am writing to say thank you so much to the Jack Bloor Fund for helping me to attend team training camp in Mallorca last week in preparation for my 2026 race season.
The weather was perfect, which enabled me to get over 30 hours of miles on the bike…a training block that would have been difficult to achieve if I had to do it in the wet, freezing climate of Yorkshire!
Additionally, being on the Mallorca camp had the benefit of allowing me to train with riders in my age category and of similar ability. I also managed to compete in a local road race whilst I was there as an added bonus!
I am looking forward to my 2026 race season, firstly in the British National Mountain Bike Cross Country Series and then, later in the year, the British National CycloCross Series and Cyclocross in Europe. I can approach the races with confidence, and in good physical shape as a result of my winter training, especially the Mallorca camp.
Without the support from the Jack Bloor Fund I wouldn’t have been able to fund this training opportunity. Thank you!
