the long winter






Well its really that time of year, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel but we are still in January!!
Training is going well with regular Monday and Friday sessions at Sheffield Indoor for the BCF academy youngsters. I finally recovered from Loughborough (took a while) 6am starts and 12 midnight finishes!

Ive been training more specifically now with the aid of Tim Buckle BCF sprint coach who had helped with some routines. Iam also building a new bike its an inch or so longer.Alumimum Supercross 20" It will be a beauty and will have all DXR parts on (thanks Alan or thank me) After not racing for 20 years then racing cruiser from May last year the 20s" are a revelation.
Shanaze Read gave me some great advice she said "loosen up over the jumps and you will be fine!! Thanks Shinny just have to point out that iam 41 and every jump is twice as big as KING KONG and iam stiff because iam terrified. iam getting there though. Cheers for the advice..

Saw Joey Gough ripping it up at the indoor race on Saturday. She is a great rider very stylish. keep it up Joey glad your getting help from us sponsor wise. Arran Shrosbree was looking strong first time ive seen Arran race since we started all the training. fast and stylish Arran was pipped at the post after catching and overtaking the guy on the 3rd straight only to be duffed up on the berm. Ah well thats racing. you will be stronger than them all soon Arran!!!

Ok thats all for now check back later for some pics.. Geds (Tom Boonen) on the phone he wants to push me up some hills.
