Ramblers latest member, Serena Sheridan, just finished her first training camp at the ILT velodrome in Invercargill as part of the "Road to Gold" programme. This BikeNZ iniative looks at athletes from outside our code, trying to find the next Allison Shanks, and give them a pathway to the 2012 London Olympics.
Serena has been down south for the last 4 days, getting used to the fast wooden track and fixed gears. Some of her teammates never seen a track or been on a fixie before, they have back grounds in basketball, rowing and athletics.
Serena impressed the selectors so much with her smooth style and track potential that's she has been invited to a second training camp in January. Watch this space, an Olympic star in the making.
