My dad raced the VRS and local club crits when I was younger, my family went to watch his races a lot. It was definitely a mixture between watching him racing and then riding in the Great Vic Bike Ride at the end of 2017 which inspired me to start racing the VJRS the following year.

Alpe de Buffalo in Under 15 B grade. There was two of us racing and after stopping half way up for a snack break I ended up winning… still about half an hour behind the A grade girls.

After having very minimal success my first few years of racing, coming out of lockdown and racing my first race in early 2021 I was able to stick with the front group of 5 at the Ararat junior tour. Coming 4th in that small race definitely consolidated that I knew I could improve and made me hungry to start properly training and committing to the sport.
