Introducing Coach Heidi Boyes ๐ดโโ๏ธ
โI married my husband, Craig Boyes, three years ago. Craig manages the Specialized Stellenbosch cycling shop, so cycling is very much part of our everyday lives. We have also recently welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world, which has been such a special new chapter for us.
Cycling has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I originally started as a triathlete, but over time, training for three disciplines became demanding, and I realised cycling was the part I truly loved most. This led me to pursue cycling more seriously, alongside my sister, Danielle Dalton, who was also very involved in the sport at the time.
I was incredibly fortunate to spend a few years racing in Europe as part of different teams, winning a couple of national titles on the road and in the time trial. I was also fortunate to have the support of many sponsors and people who invested in me and helped make that journey possible.
After experiencing so much support throughout my own cycling career, I reached a point where I felt it was my turn to give back to the sport and the people in it. That is where my coaching journey began.
I have now been part of Absolute Motion for six years, and it has been such a rewarding chapter of my life. I have loved building the community alongside Johann, being involved in peopleโs journeys and playing a small part in helping them achieve their goals. For me, coaching is about so much more than numbers, training plans and performance โ it is about people, relationships and being part of their lives.
More recently, after having my little girl, I have been lucky enough to get back on the bike. I have entered a few events and am really looking forward to getting back out on the road, enjoying the sport from a slightly different chapter of life and seeing where the journey takes me.
Cycling has given me so much over the years, both personally and professionally, and I am incredibly grateful that it continues to be such a big part of my life. I look forward to many more years of riding, coaching, encouraging and supporting others through the sport I love.โ
