In August 2018, I started training in earnest and by November, I had clocked close to a total of nine hundred miles. This propelled me to finish a Century Ride (100-mile ride).

But it was a butt soaring ride … it was beset with confronting the enemy - GALE-FORCE CROSSWINDS and extremely cold weather.

Crosswinds have blown riders completely off the road and a small mistake in group cycling can take down a whole group of riders. 

Biking uphill was a real struggle and going downhill was difficult too because of the bone-chilling headwinds.

I was ready to abandon the race, but my trainer, Stacey Garmon (she participated in the race) ensured I didn’t.
It feels incredibly amazing to belong to a group of elite cyclists. 
 

I completed 100-kilometers (62.13 miles) cycling in a single stretch. 

Journeying on with focus and determination.
