For the last few months I have been overseas racing and training and I had a fairly successful season with many lessons learned along the way. But after the racing was done I decided to take a month off for the first time ever! I always take some time off at the end of the [...]
It has been almost 2.5 years since I’ve seen my sister. It was when our father died in March 2016. So when I invited her to come and see me in Italy for a week I was so excited when she said she would. We all have busy lives and no more so than my [...]
After coming back from Europe and the first World Cup of the year it was back to training, training and more training for me. That is until my niece sent me a message and asked if she could come for a visit. That was definitely not something I could ever say no to, even if [...]

Well 2016 has come and gone with some amazing highs and some really sad lows. I never thought that a year could be such a roller coaster. But life is funny like that, you never really know what is around the next corner in our ever changing lives. But it is how we end up [...]
