Yes, these legs of mine managed to do this…
(…end a cross race VERY quickly. Good job guys.)
That was pretty much my race. After last weeks horrendous race performance I was finally feeling fully recovered and ready to race and redeem myself in the world of cyclocross. After a pre lap with the [...]

This race was the absolute filth! 3 weeks previous I agreed to taking part inthe Relentless 24hr race – it seemed like a good idea… but after my first two laps and coming in like this:

It didn't feel like a good idea anymore, AT ALL!!! Two laps down six to go… yay.

After the worlds it was time for a bit of fun and, this weekend, was definitely fun, it was amazing! So, downhill is quite different from racing XC where it is an hour and a half of pain and the descending part is about staying alive and trying to recover with the heavy cloud hanging [...]

At 17.10 this evening I will be leaving bonnie Scotland for the breathtaking Switzerland! I've never been before but, from what I've heard, It's going to be incredible!! The technicality of the course certainly sounds in my favour… hopefully this will be the turning point in my season!

We're almost at the end of another Track season at Preston Park. Once again I promised myself I'd go to more but clashes with road and MTB races meant that I've only been 4 times this year. But what good times they were. I get such a buzz/slightly sick feeling from these. Great [...]
