“I have recently just been to Belgium visiting my family and also did some racing out there. I came 14th in the road race: it was really technical with cobbled decents and small tight roads. Conditions weren’t helped by the torrential rain which started 5 minutes before the race and ended just as the race finished. So there were lots of crashes to avoid and concentration levels were very high. I then raced at Tywyn in Wales on the 30th July in a Womens National Series where I came 2nd, I then drove down to Abergavenny with my team mate for a road race the next day, 31st July. The racing was hard, lots of ups and downs, with a strong field of around 50 riders; it was going to be hard from the gun and it was. After 56miles of racing the steep uphill finish was insight, but with 750metres to go there was a gigantic crash with alot of riders coming down. I managed to get 3rd, but was a bit disappointed at the end as I was hoping to win this race. It was a good weekend though with a 2nd and 3rd so i cant complain. I am now looking to the track nationals which are at the end of September at Manchester Velodrome where hopefully I can gain some good results”

Good luck Hannah – Disley is proud of your achievements!
