Hi Ladies!
How exciting to be apart of the SUB team!
I am Amie Morgan, a very enthusiastic cyclist, here to spread the word that you CAN do it! I work at Cycle City Avanti Plus in Manukau, where I encourage, support and inform women on all things bike related. It is my passion to provide women in the community, who are interested in bikes, the tools needed to get out that front door and turn those pedals around, one at a time!
I have been fortunate enough to be given a SUB ROSA PRO to ride, thanks to Sarah and the SUB team and want to give you all the help and advice I can along your journey.
I will be writing a monthly newsletter addressing a few key issues that women keep asking me about at Cycle City, things that can make a huge difference to the comfort of riding a bike such as seats, clothing and bike set ups. It doesn’t matter whether you are getting on a bike for the first time riding around your block or wanting to take 5 minutes off your last race.
I started cycling nearly 7 years ago when I was extremely overweight, was good at smoking and drinking and hadn’t been on a bike since I was 12. I was encouraged to give mountain biking a go, and after a few weekends out at the forest, my life headed down a very different track!
I started out struggling up every single hill and fumbled back down the other side, bruising my poor body and breathing hard! Since then I have done a little of everything, commuting, endurance races, mountain biking and road riding. My biggest aim this year is to encourage and support 32 women, mostly just starting out to complete the Lake Taupo Challenge in November!
Pretty big goal, but easy when you break it down. It is just a matter of doing a bit of practice, and turning around one leg after the other! ANYONE CAN DO IT!
