Mark @spratinator has gone and got himself an electric bike

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

Great to take the plunge and race a National XC again after a 4 year break. Great to catch up with others now to get fitter for the next race.

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

Carrying only one spare inner tube he punctured 4 times at night but carried on after fixing each one.
@Spratinator was so impressed by his ride that he commissioned me to make Fazil a trophy.
I can’t wait to meet him but in the meantime It was good to watch him - no.71

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

So cool to see Fazil @ https://t.co/Ihgaa8P2uM.
Fazil races on an old Kinesis road bike @Spratinator donated to him 2 years ago. In February he was one of the first finishers of Race Around Rwanda, a 1000km gravel race, riding the rough roads on standard road tyres.

78 trophies finished and packed ready for Round 1 @midlands_xc tomorrow.

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

I am working on some really cool projects at present including making the trophies for @midlands_xc 2020 series. Round 1 is this weekend.

Really excited to be racing the World Mountain Bike Marathon Championships again, this time in Grächen Switzerland.

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

@JonnyWilliams11 @Spratinator A little less :-)

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

A bus, a climb and hike and 3 hours later we reached the top. well worth the effort. Love our alpine adventures @Spratinator

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

La Grave, 2 miles above sea level, the water is frozen in retreating glaciers, today we road in their wake.

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

Holiday time with ⁦@Spratinator⁩, a couple of amazing days in the French Ardenne, now heading down to the Alps

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

Appenninica MTB stage race more than lived up to expectations. My blog about the event is up on @xcracercom . If you are looking for a new exciting stage race then I highly recommend it. https://t.co/hxRbdd4uOL @sophhemming

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

The race around Rwanda is looking like one of our adventures early next year

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

My second XC race this year so bit of a shock to the body, but otherwise the final round of the @midlands_xc was fun with punchy climbs and droopy single track. @CyclopaediaShop @cardiffjif

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

The final round of the 2919 @midlands_xc was a fun course. As well as the trophies for the day I also made the overall series trophies for top three in each cat. It’s been a great project to work on

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

The Team behind #appenninicamtb, they have created a very special race

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

Racing #appenninicamtb stage race with @sophhemming has been epic, the climbs are tough but the descents and views have more than made up for them.

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

I have made a mixture of coasters, egg cups and phone.holders for round 4 @midlands_xc this weekend.

[Melanie Alexander @Mel_XC]

Egg cups for @midlands_xc. 2nd place
