Hey i'm Heather Le Grice and the purpose of this blog is to keep my motivation for training and racing in check. Support my venture into the womens national cycling scene by keeping up to date with my daily updates, Upper Hutt's finest riding stories and the lunatics that go along with them.

Series Win

Yesterday I won, but only just, the last race of the Capital Cycles Balfour Pennington series. After a 1 minute handicap it took me around 11km to catch the break group and once I was there I sat in, after we reached the base of Mt Crawford me and Gabby from PNP broke from the other riders and battled it out up the hill. Close to the top I felt pretty crap and had little strength, gabby took over the lead and looked strong, the hill top finish was in sights so I cranked a few more gears and pounded the pedals to be first over the line.

Thanks to PNP for hosting and running the event and Capital Cycles for the series sponsorship, the new cup is impressive. As well as a great trophy from PNP, capital cycles gave me a new ss jersey, and it was even in my size :) cheers guys.

Hope to see some photos of the finish soon. Results of the series can be found on the PNP website
