BABY # 2 due early next year!👶😝Thought about racing Lenzerheide this weekend then thought better of it at 4 months pregnant 😂🙏❤️ In all honesty tho, this has been such a different experience than with Arna, from 6 weeks I had THE WORST SICKNESS for so so long, I spent a month in bed, barely able to eat or drink, lost 4kg in 2 weeks, felt absolutely horrendous for a good 6 weeks and then had short bursts of being ok, which luckily coincided with Redbull Hardline – going from being in bed for a month to signing stuff at hardline then back to bed being sick was a bit crazy!! Anyway, pregnancy sickness is a different beast & I feel those that have it long term, it’s so grim, but luckily it’s starting to ease off now, I still throw up quite a lot but It’s way better thankfully & I’m starting to realise that it’s really real as I get bigger!! 🤰 Tried riding my DH bike but it didn’t feel very nice at all, compared with being pregnant with arna when I rode the DH pretty much the entire time!! We are off to Lenzerheide to watch the World Cup this weekend, special memories @bike.kingdom come say Hi at the @athertonracing pits 🙏🙏❤️ @ollydavey

RISK ❤️🔥 How do we process & define risk? What’s your guys thoughts? do “ I “ or other professional athletes process it differently to you? What constitutes risk to me? What am I willing to risk? How do we decide what is “worth it” To me, the risk has always been about balance & probability & preparation, I wouldn’t throw myself at warp speed down the mountain without proper preparation, and I didn’t always “risk it all” often as I got older trying to race “within” my capabilities to reduce my chances of injury…. But making sure those capabilities were high enough that a win was a high chance! Apart from those few races where I can remember saying “I’m willing to risk it all, I accept the high chances of breaking my leg / shoulder/ heart if I crash at this speed but I’m willing to go this speed to win” How am I raising my daughter with a balance or risk V learning… It’s SO INTERESTING & so I’m super excited to be taking to the stage at Kendal Mountian Festival to talk about RISK! Kendal, Saturday afternoon: 4.30pm Risk session Blue, The Box. Myself & @caro_ciavaldini & phycologist Rebecca Williams @kendalmountainfestival @athertonbikes See you guys there 👍❤️🔥 @svenmartinphoto capturing the years ❤️

Felt AMAZING to ride Downhill today! First time properly since May I think, due to feeling so rough & sick, I tried a couple weeks ago but still felt too sick, but today was a mega day & I felt much stronger just from walking & hiking more the last few weeks 🙏❤️ Obviously I’m taking it SUPERRR easy & these turns are so smooth & slower compared to the rest of the park so I stuck to this track mainly, which felt totally fine, the higher speeds with more G force didn’t feel so good on my tummy already! With arna I was riding DH until about 30 weeks and already this time I’m feeling it earlier, so I’m listening to my body & I do what feels right, which is what every women should do, there’s no formula, no right or wrong, just trusting yourself & your instincts & your own judgement 👍 Riding today with Aff & Nic did wonders for me mentally, & it felt so good to get my body moving in a way which it is so used too! @dyfibikepark never looked so good in the autumn 🍂 Sunshine 🌞 @athertonbikes thanks for being so so good that after 4 months off I pick you up like it was yesterday 😘 #pregnant #19weeks #babyonboard #mtb #mtbforlife #mtbgirl
