Solicitors practises for the TV races
A Telford solicitor is set to make her television debut - but
you may not recognise her.
Louise Clowes is a commercial property solicitor at Martin-Kaye
LLP Solicitors , in Telford, but outside the office, she takes on a
completely different character.
"I spend as much time as I can outside office hours cycling
round the roads of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and now I've been
given a great opportunity to race on television," said Louise.
She will be taking part in four of the Halfords Tour Series
Races which invite Britain's elite female cyclists to compete at
locations all over the UK.
As part of the Inverse/CyClaim RT ladies' team, Louise will be
racing in Peterborough this weekend, in Stoke on June 7, Oldham on
June 9, and Woking on June 14.
"I had previously competed in triathlons and cycling time
trials, but I was really looking for something different.
"So this year I looked into road and circuit cycle racing, but I
needed to go further afield to find a full ladies team in order to
get the chance to take part in some of the bigger races.
"I competed in my first race at Hillingdon near London, but it
was a very steep learning curve and I was dropped from the back of
the pack in about 12 minutes!
"But things have improved since then and now I'm really looking
forward to the challenge the Halfords Tour Series brings - my team
will be wearing bright yellow and black racing kit, so we should be
easy to spot!"
Martin-Kaye senior partner, Graham Davies, said: "Louise is a
great ambassador for a healthy lifestyle and her enthusiasm for
cycling and extreme sports is incredible.
"We'll all be looking out for her during the televised races and
supporting her impressive efforts."
