"SHOCK AND AWE"



Hiya all well its been busy times lately, ive been coaching the young up and comers at Sheffield indoor on Mondays and Fridays. This is great fun and ive also had a chance to do some training myself. Much needed 20" practice.

Ive been hard at work sorting out the sponsorship deals for the team. This is almost a fulltime job in its self?? We recently gained Tioga tyres, Vans & Be Well engineered nutrition http://www.bewellbespoke.com/
Some of the Shimano DXR cranks arrived in today and the full range should be available in the next couple of weeks..yes finally.

My own training is going fulltilt, iam doing a routine given to me by Tim Buckle (bcf sprint coach) its a killer and i havent even left the rollers yet! Iam also doing stuff with Ged (aka Tom Boonen ) and i experienced the full horror of his SHOCK AND AWE tactics today.We set of on mountain bikes & hybrids and hit the icy roads and trails around Rivington Pike. For the first ten minutes i thought i was going to die.. as my lungs screamed in protest at the abuse trying to follow (20ft behind) Ged was doing to me!! Slicks on ice with clips(new to me offroad) is a fun combination? Anyway i survived with Geds words ringing in my ears " i always keep one more hill in reserve" Cheers mate.
Anyway keep reading for more information on the latest on our team/training tips and BCF talent team news oh yeah and i will post some pics to.
see ya around Mike
