In 2019, we had signed Sarah-Hope to ride in a Warrior on Wheels buggy for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. There were training rides and buggy fitting sessions and briefings all in preparation. Unfortunately, the weather was wild and the organisers requested those pulling buggies to withdraw, which our team did. Libby had completed her 4km Junior Cycle Tour the week before and Sarah-Hope definitely felt cheated! I sensed that she didn't want to leave her next medal to chance... and that she wanted to use her body to get around the track, even if it meant a much shorter distance!
And so in 2020 Sarah-Hope did the 1.3km Junior Cycle Tour on Zane and LOVED it! One thing I have learnt about her - she is not one of the children who want to be pulled along by someone else. If she has the energy, she will be out there moving herself!
Here is a picture of Sarah-Hope in her buggy as part of her preparation for the 2019 Cycle Tour (which she didn't participate in after all).
And, of course, the girls created their own buggies for their dolls!
