Facebook tells me that I had a big day, seven years ago.
On this day, seven years ago I won a bike race and packed to come home from Australia.
Samantha Brennan, “won a bike race today (a crit).”
My friend writes, “Nice crit victory – rode away from the grade, passed the next grade and took all the points (just as well she’s going home else it would be up a grade or two for you girl!). Safe travels.”
Another friends writes: “Congratulations to the crit victory! That’s a really nice way of finishing your time here in Canberra!”
Next status update from me. Samantha Brennan “is boxing her bike, sigh, after a fun race this afternoon.”
(Do you remember when status updates weren’t in first person?)
I think my bike wanted to stay in Australia (and move up a grade!)
I miss that place!
Congrats (albeit a teeny bit late) on the crit win! That is most awesome. I’ve no doubt you are a mighty sprinter.
This is making me excited about my upcoming trip (Oct–Dec) to Australia (mostly Sydney with a stint in Adelaide). Will be taking road bike probably (torn about maybe taking cross bike and two wheel sets).
You might think about VELim at U. of Sydney as a future sabbatical landing spot– loads of interesting folks, and Angus Dawson just got there as director.
Be sure to visit Canberra!
Congrats! And surely it must be time for another visit down under to see us friendly folks. 🙂
Hoping for January 2017!
Brilliant! Will keep an eye out as to your plans as we get closer. 🙂
