Throwback Thursday to sunnier climbs and a first for this lovely lady. “18 months after joining the club I've ridden my first Col and it was brilliant. The 11.5k descent was also huge fun! My cycling has improved so much and more than a little of that is due to all the encouragement and support of the wonderful KVG ladies...thank you.”
