Incredible experience at my first European cup in Kitzbuhel, racing up an age group. * Bitter sweet 4th, but very happy as the boys faster were 18 & 19. * Also fantastic team out here to spend the time with @guyevans1865 @cameronmain_ @andrew.rolland @andrewwoodroffe @sophiagreen27. * Thanks to @revolverwheels @limarworld @limarcraig @blueseventy @bikeboxalan @sims_cycle_workshop for the fantastic support!
