In an amazing finish, Cooke outsprinted Vos and Arndt to take the Women's Elite Road Race World Championship in the same year as she won the Olympic gold. What an athlete, what a woman!

Call off the attack leeks, please.

-- secretly John has every burner on the stove heating potato soup to counter the deadly leek legions Ang and Alys, our mad Welsh women, have unleashed upon the World --

Look yur you! John in Wauwa…

Look yur you, John in Wauwawhereveritis, Nicole Cook's win was real tidy. And although I am mostly Scots and my name isn't exactly Welsh, I am a quarter Welsh because of my Mamgu (Welsh grandmother pronounced mungee) so I am just of proud of my part-compatriot as Angharad and Alys.

Cofleidiau,

Angharad, I Have A Question For You :-)

Will you use Nicole's wins as inspiration for any of your stories? I can see it in a Drew/Gaby chapter. I am glad that she is doing so well. I hope that she continues to win awards and championships. May Your Light Forever Shine

She's been mentioned several times in my Gaby stories and also in Bike.
She is a phenomenal rider and an inspiration for any woman.
