The 16-year-old, who lives in Avonhead, has been named in the New Zealand track cycling team for the first time. She will compete at the Oceania track cycling championships in Adelaide from October 11-13. Erin competes in both road and track cycling events, and started her competitive journey on a $300 road bike that her mum Lee purchased second-hand. As she grew to love track cycling, her dad Chris found a bike frame and built the bike she still uses today with bits and pieces he found on auction sites. “I wouldn’t be in this position without my parents,” she said. “A lot of my time is taken up with training so a lot of the financial burden falls on them.” Erin is a former Canterbury age-group Erin Downie middle distance runner, cross-country athlete and footballer, but now her time is spent solely on the bike seat. “I tried to do all of them when I first started as an 11-year-old but, as my love of cycling grew, I gave them up,” she said. “People used to look at my bike and do a doubletake because it’s not a big brand bike obviously. The whole Canterbury track cycling community has been so helpful in getting me here. “I’ve had to borrow a lot of different gear and everyone has been really accommodating.” Erin said with Hornby’s Denton Park velodrome being outdoors and “quite shaded”, it often meant she was unable to train on it during winter because it was too wet. With the best track options being in Invercargill or Cambridge, she has done a lot of her preparation on the road, or in her garage on a stationary bike. “I think I’ve done quite well to make the team considering the best option to train is eight hours away,” she said. Erin doesn’t know what events she will compete in, but is hopeful she will get a chance to race in the under-19 individual pursuit. “That will be a good level for me to test where I’m at and, if I could get a personal best, that’d be great.” Erin said she still had ambitions to ride internationally on both the track and road and did not want to commit to one discipline just yet.
