NAME: Lianne
Bartlemann (Team Captain)
FAVOURITE PLACE TO RIDE: That’s really hard to pick one because you like different places for different reasons.
for a race track Hopton, also Rheola and Bala because it’s fast and lose.
But for local riding the forest of dean, going riding with your mates, have some
lunch in the café then ride some more, happy days.
DREAM PLACE TO RIDE OR EVENT TO RACE: Somewhere warm and dry for a change, I would like to enter the Maxxis Cup Series.
AGE & CATEGORY: 24, Senior
HEIGHT / WEIGHT: 5ft 4, 9 stone
ASPIRATIONS:
Like everyone I would love racing to be my living, to ride world cups, travel the world. But for
this year I want to achieve more than I did in 2009, to push myself further than
before improving my riding skills. For me as long as I am doing my best, reaching
my goals and riding my bike I am happy.
WINTER TRAINING PROGRAMME: Going to the gym 3 to for times a week at the moment. But my new thing I have started doing is a boxing class which has broken up my training in the week from just the gym. Also entering winter push up races and uplift days when they are on. The weekends are for getting time on my DH bike practicing my weak areas of my riding.
MY INSPIRATIONS: Really anyone who is or has been pro, to have the skills to ride at that high level, but also the dedication, time and commitment to train and travel for months must be the most draining thing. Watching them makes me want to try harder and push myself further. But personally for me the guys that I go riding with week in week out, without them I would be where I am now.
