Well done, Lizzie, what an achievement. So she gets to wear the rainbow jersey for the next year.
In a small matter at Twickenham, Wales beat England 28-25 in the Rugby World Cup, though both sides accumulated more injuries.

Right on, Lizzie
Did they check her bike for a motor? ;-D

Against stereotypes?
So an elite women's athlete who is not that butch presence that people expect? Brava!
I am not saying that the other form of expression is wrong, just that there is that unfortunate expectation in the minds of people.
Congrats to Lizzie and
to Wales as well! Well done, to both.

As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script.

I see Lizzie supports the West Yorkshire Bike Bank which refurbishes unwanted bikes for those who need them. Maybe Cathy could open a branch down south?

Lizzie for Spoty!
We should start promoting it now!

Awesome!
I didn't get to work the race yesterday so I didn't get to find out who won...this is cool. :) Congrats to her and it's been fun getting to see all the cyclists here and the fans from all over. :)
