Trek Supported Rider Myfanwy Galloway

Across Australia, Trek Bicycles Australia supports many riders through local Trek dealers. These riders ride and compete at a variety of different levels, from bunch rides to Club races to National level competitions.

One rider to recently come on board as a Trek Supported rider is Myfanwy "Miffy" Galloway, supported through Canberra dealer Ride Shop. Earlier this year Miffy, along with a few other Aussie juniors, traveled to the US to race for a team there for just over a month. Now she's back home in Canberra and has a busy summer of racing planned, on board her new Trek Madone 6.9 Pro frameset.



She recently completed an ACTAS training camp on the NSW South Coast and then jumped straight into competition at the Tour of Bright. Despite that being her first major tour as an Elite Woman, she rode very strongly to finish 5th overall! This was against a field of experienced women racers from around the country.



As well as being a regular at the Canberra Cycling Club crit's at the Stromlo circuit, Miffy will be racing at the Bay Criterium Series January 2-6, the Australian National TT and Road titles January 7-10 and then hopefully the Oceania Road Race and the Women's tour of NZ.

Sounds like a busy summer! You can keep up to date with Miffy's racing and read her race reports on her blog.

Thanks to Greg Long for the photos.
