[edit] 2006 Commonwealth Games
Baxter qualified for the Mountain Bike Women's Cross Country event held in Lysterfield Park, in Victoria, Australia, by winning the first Commonwealth Games Selection Race in a time of 1.38.41. The event comprised five laps of the Commonwealth Games course at Lysterfield Park[1]. During the second lap of the event, Baxter suffered technical difficulties, and was required to run with her bicycle to a technical zone to gain assistance. The repairs took several minutes, and this delay resulted in her finishing in 11th place[2].
[edit] Team Membership
In 2006, Baxter was a member of the Australian team for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. She was also a member of the Lotto-Belisol Ladiesteam, a professional women's cycling team based in Belgium, and Saccarelli EMU Marsciano, based in Italy. Prior to 2006, she primarily represented Saccarelli EMU Marsciano and the Hawthorn Citizens Youth Club[3]. She also represented Kathy Watt's Personal Training[4], Mascot Cycles[5], and Le Tour Cycles.
