Other sports:

She has competed in road cycling, and was signed to the Mitchelton-Scott team on the Women's World Tour in 2018 and 2019. (procyclingstats.com, 07 Feb 2021; alexandramanly.com, 01 Aug 2017)

In September 2018 she sustained a fractured shoulder. (cyclingnews.com, 14 Nov 2018)

In November 2015 she injured a disc in her back. She returned to competition in 2016. (alexandramanly.com, 01 Aug 2017)

She took up cycling through a South Australian Sports Institute [SASI] talent identification programme at age 14. (australiancyclingteam.com, 01 Jan 2019)

"It wasn't until the family moved to the Adelaide Hills [in South Australia] that cycling found me. My best friend Mel opened up the letter I received at school inviting me to a 'come & try' cycling day. I probably would have left the letter crumpled in the bottom of my bag if it wasn't for Mel. She encouraged me to go see what this cycling thing was all about. From then on I haven't looked back." (alexandramanly.com, 01 Aug 2017)

Philosophy:

"I enjoyed pushing myself beyond previous limitations and working towards ever higher goals." (alexandramanly.com, 01 Aug 2017)

SETTLING ON CYCLING
When she took up cycling at age 14, she was still competing in athletics and basketball at national level in Australia. "The first year I started riding I continued to do my other sports. I was competing at national level in cross-country and steeplechase, and won bronze as an U14 in the Australian basketball club championships. A year later I made the decision to give up all the other sport and focus only on cycling. My love for cycling grew, I became obsessed. I fell in love with the freedom, the speed, and independence cycling gave me." (alexandramanly.com, 01 Aug 2017)
