Mia Griffin in action crossing the line in 2019
Placing seventh in a race in which Mia competed against 120 women gave her encouragement ahead of a major pro race called Les Samyn in Belgium. That was my first really big pro race. It s a 1.2, one step down from the biggest races that the best cyclists in the world compete in. I was happy to finish that race. Out of 170 starters around 100 finished. I came in the sixties.
Completing the 97km race travelling at an average speed of 38km/h was another boost for Mia.
She has been home in Ireland on and off since last summer.
