Return to the AIS 2008

Josie — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:27:13 +0000

Once again I find myself at another AIS cycling camp in our nations capital and this time there’s more than one strange twist. This time instead of sharing `ressie’s’ with the many strangely shaped athletes like 60 wrestlers (thank goodness!!), …

Canada and Crazy Cubans

Josie — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 13:00:45 +0000

At the start of the year I had seen the Canadian race stint on some of the other girls program thinking how I’d like it to be included in my calendar and somehow feeling that I’d end up there …

Mur de Huy – Fleche Wallone

Josie — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 12:41:45 +0000

After Holland we travelled to Belgium where we’d spend the next ten days recovering and training before Fleche Wallone, another `classic’ race on the calendar. We arrived at our new accommodation in the pitch dark and were horrified to …

Josie wins in Canada!

Blair — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 23:46:05 +0000

Great news from Canada with "ourJosie" taking out the 4th stage of the inaugural Tour de Prince Edward Island. Featuring a big field of international pro women racers including Italians, Russians, Swiss etc this race is new to the calender, …

Cowgirls in Holland

Josie — Wed, 09 May 2007 03:16:49 +0000

I guess when I started cycling I never knew where it would all end up. It was a simple case of training a day at a time for the next competition and things snowballing quickly from there. I …

Tour of Flanders

Josie — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 10:27:54 +0000

Pre Race it was 2.5 degrees but warmed up nicely! We rode the last 30km of the Tour of Flanders course the day before the race itself. As soon as I got on the overly crowded roads I knew …

Ciao Italia

Josie — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 13:34:43 +0000

It’s hard to believe I’m once again back in Italy in the AIS team house. It feels as if I only left yesterday and the only real give away that it wasn’t just yesterday is the vast difference in the …

Sock Police on Tour

Josie — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 15:09:36 +0000

If you call yourself a true cyclist then you’ll probably find you have some sort of obsession with socks. I’ve had this discussion with a few cycling mates and the obsession differs in many ways but it’s always there lurking …

Institution Camps

Josie — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 09:07:24 +0000

Iâ€™d watched the hit 80â€™s cycling film `American Flyersâ€™ several times before I took off for my first AIS camp for 2007. So as you can imagine I was totally pumped at the prospect of heading off to a sports …

Home Sweet Home (Not the one Pictured)

Josie — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 00:41:34 +0000

It wasn’t long ago that I was sitting around Italy sipping on cappuccinos and eating brioches at the local café, taking little day trips to Milan and somehow fitting in the odd ten-day cycling tour or day race every …
