Hi my name is Ange McClure; this is my 1st blog so I’m still on my L plates! I haven’t written anything longer than 50 words since my year 12 legal studies exam last year on the 12th of November....to be precise, so I apologise for my poor English!
To begin proceedings here’s my story thus far....
I’m currently sitting in car travelling across to South Australia with my dad to live there for at least the next four years!!I’m studying Construction Management and Economics at UNI SA and living at Lincoln College which is a massive boarding house for uni students. However this is the background for my big goal and dream to become a processional cyclist...it is going to happen!!so not only will South Australia be educating my mind for when I do decided to work full time and “settle down” which will be years from now, it is also going to be the place where I’ll learn to train harder, trainer smarter, and become a better cyclist, a two for one deal! With the faithful support of SASI and my old local boys at Cycle City I’m loaded and ready.
The excitement doesn’t stop there, new city, new training ground, new people, new bar fridge nicely funded by DAD, and.....NEW FELT AR2 on top of my car roof, which has only been ridden around the bike shop block twice with a wheel change at the end of the first lap (testing which wheels I would have to be sacrifice, for the trip over to SA!)....I really just want to get on the thing and go for a ride. With all the hype around the bike’s arrival in the great land of OZ....so there should be when it is proven that it’s the fastest bike in the world! Tested in wind tunnels, made with super stiff and light carbon (go to cyclingnews.com and there is a link that tells you all about the beast), there are definitely no excuses with this one!
The eagerness to get on my bike is sparked by the fact that Chlo McIntosh (fellow bike rider, FELT and Cycle City sponsored as well) made the journey down from Ballarat yesterday to Melbourne to pick bike it up! Otherwise I would be with my old felt in SA while my new one was sitting in a ware house in VIC waiting for it to be sent to SA, that just wasn’t a option when in bike terms, “yeah it will be one week, two a most”, if it was to be delivered to SA, form past experience with everything that is suppose to come on time involving bikes it would be more like a month!!!I just couldn’t wait that long!...( we were suppose to get them in October , and to think I got away with the economic crisis not affecting me!...it ended up really hitting home!)
So what more do I need.ive got everything to take on SA in full force!!
Till next time
Ange McClure
