At the beginning of September 2007, Lorenzo Moro of TCF agreed to take me on board as a sponsored rider.

My first bike needed was a SCOTT Spark 30, to manage comfortably a 12 hour solo effort at the Subaru 12 hour (www.fullgaspromotions.com.au ) so in conjunction with Netti (http://www.netti.com.au ) we struck up a deal for this new machine.

It landed in my hands on the Thursday 13^th September and the race was on Saturday 15^th September. Norm and I took it for a test ride at the Mt.Cottrell course on the Friday and at 9am the next day it took its first 12 hour flogging, incident free.

Since then Lorenzo has been a great support to me and Norm and not to mention all my cycling buddies. I have taken in many a new enthusiast and they have been well looked after and walked away with bikes so they can join our gang!

Since coming on board with T.C.F and Lorenzo & Leah, I have had the following results:

1^st Place – SOLO FEMALE, Subaru 12 hour MTB enduro September 15^th

3^rd Place – MIXED PAIRS, Scott Australasian 24 Hour Championships October 13/14^th

2^nd Place – SOLO FEMALE, Kona Surfcoast 6 hour enduro, October 27^th

2^nd Place – ELITE WOMEN, Bendigo Golden Triangle 90km Epic November 4^th

2^nd Place – SOLO FEMALE, Gravity 12 hour MTB enduro, November 10^th

1^st Place – FEMALE PAIRS, Ballarat 6 hour MTB enduro, November 18^th

1^st Place – SOLO FEMALE, Kona 24 hour MTB enduro, December 1/2^nd

…I am looking forward to growing the relationship in 2008 and seeing what else we can achieve together.

Thank you for believing in me!
