  Hi All,
I have been competing in MGA for about six seasons now. I have always ridden for West Glamorgan, and for the past three or so years have been lucky enough to ride for Wales at Home International, European and World Championships- at Junior and Open level, competing with, and against some amazing people and riders. I am looking forward to meeting and greeting all the teams at the Europeans and I just know that it will be a brilliant week, both on the field and off. I wish all teams luck, and look forward to seeing you all again.
