A mere week after her success at international level, she lined up at the National Gravel Championships in Dalby Forest, coming second in the time trial and third in the Women’s Elite race.
For Wright, the race’s location in North Yorkshire held particularly fond memories.
“I saw this section of the forest where my dad and I had visited about 13 years ago,” she said.
“We came for a mountain bike holiday and I was only a little 10-year-old kid just loving riding her bike and here I am now, 13 years later.”
Though she narrowly missed out on the national title, Wright said: “We’ll be back next year to fight for those red, white and blue stripes again.
“Now to recover and reset, ready for the European Championships in Italy this Sunday.”
