Hoeleden Kermesse, 96km, Thursday 13th August. My first win on the road this season! The race was 12 laps of a 7km circuit and on lap 5 my team mate Hannah attacked. I went across with another woman so there ended a break of 3 of us with 7 laps to go. Me and Hannah worked well together and we built up a lead of over 2 minutes. I felt strong whilst we were away so was confident for the finish. Hannah jumped first but I got round her to take the win!

Brasschaat Kermesse, 101km, Tuesday 11th August. This race was part of the Wielertrofee series so there was a big field of 115 riders. There were also two sections of cobbles on the 9km course to make things more interesting! I was in a break of 3 early on but this got brought back and then the next break stayed away! So I ended up in a chase group of 7 of us sprinting for 7th place. I was 3rd in this sprint so took 10th place. I was pleased as I felt strong today while riding in the breaks so think I am starting to get a bit of form!
