Success All Around

Tue, 07 May 2013 02:23:24 +0100

Well its been a very successful month of course Road Nationals in Echuca first I actually had a competitor in my class C1 the lovely Leanne Del Toso aka Australian Glider considering I was having trouble with my wisdom teeth my results were good 2 Gold and both done in pretty good times I had my Wisdom Teeth out on the 29th April and am slowly recovering The Ride2Riverstone on the 5th May was a great success and I met a great group of people from Lifestyle & Leisure Schofields I think this is going to be a long & beneficial relationship for both of us. The team for UCI Paracycling Road World Championships was announced and I am pleased to say I have been selected to represent Australia again This a will be held in Canada in August so Its right back into training for this. I have posted some new photos of recent events so please take a look

Happy New Year

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 03:17:55 +0100

Happy New Year to you all Xmas has come and gone it was a very happy quiet time for me and my family Australian Titles were difficult as it was very warm and of course not much training on the Track before hand but in all I was happy with my performances only just being over my WR in 500mTT.Even though 3000mIP was not a good ride at all my chest was paining and it just took it out of me but still I finished and that's always good. I'm doing a couple of weeks work for a friend of my coach starting 7/1/13 and then I'm flat chat with my role as an Australia Day Ambassador I have the annual Australia Day Address on 22nd which this year is being delivered by my good friend Kurt Fearnley on 23rd Parramatta Girls Active Day through WomensSport 24th Meeting at TAD to organise the year and my role as Ambassador TAD NSW then on the 25th the Australia Day Luncheon and later that evening Ashley and I fly to Narrandera to spend the weekend attending Australia Day Functions as Ambassador for Narrendera 2013 we are both so excited there are so many wonderful events we will be attending and I cant wait to share my Australia Day Address with the people of Narrandera. Id just like to say to you all thank you so much for your support through 2012 I hope you will continue to join me on my journey to Rio 2016 and I promise to continue to do my upmost to raise the awareness of People with Disabilities Sport for all and to make you and my country proud

My New Adventure

Fri, 05 Oct 2012 05:39:20 +0100

Well today was just supposed to be a meet and photo with TAD and their client Jaxon but it turned into so much more. I am now the Ambassador for TAD an organisation who fits me perfectly They make modified bikes for severly disabled kids so they can ride independently and being a cyclist myself I am amazed at how terrific these bikes are how they give kids the freedom I feel myself when I ride So thank you TAD I'm so honoured to be a part of your wonderful organization. Look at photos on TAD page below.

Bronze Glory

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:36:23 +0100

Well at last a minute to update my blog The last six weeks have flown by but have been packed with so many awesome experiences Cardiff Staging Camp was productive and entertaining Move into the village was smooth and I enjoyed a room of my own for the first week of the games until my roomy Carol arrived for the Road Races First ride on the Track 3000m I was a dream come true finally I broke the WC1World Record after 4 years of trying and the icing on the cake it was the first World Record to be broken on the Velodrome for the Paralympic Games The 500m TT could have been a disaster and at first I thought I'd blown my chances after a mid race Spac Attack but somehow I held on and broke the World Record and took the Bronze Medal after forcing the Silver and Gold Medalists to break their own record to beat me Road TT improved by one place from Beijing and I was having a lovely ride in the park in the Road Race when on the 4th lap I was taken out by a C5 male rider who misjudged his pass of me and down we went He continued but my derailer was broken so I got bandaged up and played spectator for the rest of the day He did come back after the race and apologise but these things happen So now it's onto all the commitments that come with being a Medalist I'm loving it Can't wait to see my Sponsors The Sydney Market Foundation on the 27th and present them with a small gift Well off to Bankstown Sports Club with my Coach Tom Skulander for a talk. blog again soon Jayme
