Female Tandem Pilot needed in Oxford

From TriTalk - can't post this in the Oxford Social forum, so figured it sat best here - if anyone can help that'd be grand, I appreciate it doesn't apply to most reading this forum, but you could also help spread the word:

"One of the visually impaired athletes that was lined up to do the bike leg of the London Triathlon for Project VIper this year is in need of a new female pilot, for training and 10/25m TTs

Jan used to be a competitive XC mtb'er until a degenerative sight condition caused her some degree of difficulty when the course dipped in to the wooded sections (she would usually just miss the trees but those behind her following in her tyre tracks often weren't so lucky).

When she was forced to stop she went through a few years understandably down, but last year when we caught up with her she was thinking about getting back in to it all. TBH we just lent her a VIper tandem and watched her get on with it, since which she has absolutely monstered herself in training with a view ultimately to breaking in to the British Cycling squad.

Unfortunately however her usual guide has had to drop out, which leaves Jan unable to train outside and race once the season starts again.

Please, it would make a massive difference if anyone could think of someone who might be able to help. Those who post on TT/cycling forums, I would appreciate if you could spread the word there as well. Jan deserves a break about as much as anyone I know.

(BTW, although Jan needs a female guide for official BC races, she would always be happy to stoke a bloke around on training rides - you probably won't even have to pedal)

Thanks
Mark"
