On a hot, humid January afternoon, fans blowing to circulate the humid air, hydration bottles surround a lonely banana waiting to be consumed.
Under the watchful eye of her cycling coach Leré; Alicia partakes in a virtual race. A virtual team time trial with team members scattered throughout the country and at times around the world working and racing together virtually.
Breathing rhythmically, razor focus, she hammers on…
A common scene in the Spin Science studio based at Gym on 5th in Killarney Country Club run by Lere Lambrechts, a former professional cyclist who has competed with some of the best in the world.
Alicia has been cycling for only 1 year before joining Leré, owner of Spin Science. With his knowledge of testing, performance stats and periodisation, Alicia’s performance has steadily increased over the past 3 years.
In this relatively small time frame, she has competed in several races, gaining experience and testing her conditioning. Leré constantly and meticulously building and strategising her specific needs and requirements; Alicia diligently follows through with her coach’s instructions and of course… keeps hammering on.
Her latest competition result saw her at the 2025 combined Provincial Champs. Including Gauteng, Free State, and North West - she won a silver medal during the 1st day which was a time trial. The second day, race day, she won a bronze for the Veteran ladies road race.
A brilliant result!
Alicia is not gifted with any specific sporting ability. She is a friendly 33-year-old with a good sense of humour and original T-shirts
Her secret weapon? An unbelievable amount of discipline and determination guided by a knowledgeable and experienced coach; hard sessions and rest.
Great work Alicia. Big respect!
