So I thought it was about time I posted another blog update. Ive been rather quiet of late and the reason being, quite simply there's not been much to talk about. Ive been plagued by misfortune after misfortune this winter which ironically gave me lots more time to update the blog, yet I was short of anything really interesting to say......until now that is.
The last month has seen me join forces with newly formed British Bike company, Onix Bikes. I will of course be heading out to Belgium where I am riding again for the Asfra Racing Team from Oudenaarde, however I will have a couple of new weapons at my disposal. Onix bikes will kindly be providing me with my bikes in what I know is a very important year for me. I will in turn be testing these bikes (and what better testing ground than Belgium!) and providing feedback on these stylish new machines. Be sure to check these bikes and various other equipment out at http://www.onixbikes.co.uk/. Hopefully the results will speak for themselves!
So what has been happening this winter?? After being struck by that car towards the end of last season, the misfortune has continued way into the winter. Illness and injury has led to a very much interrupted winter of training. Two weeks in Majorca did provide me with a nice small block of training at the start of the year, however before and since, it has been far from ideal for me. Still as a full time athlete, its something that you just have to deal with. Experience tells me not to panic and to just let it come.....trust me I will soon find my legs. And I take heart not only from my own experiences but from one of my idols in Heinrich Haussler. This is a rider who has had his own injury problems and dosnt always get a smooth run at things, but yet still has the class to do what he’s doing!
Gladly I can say I am back into training once again. No doubt about it this will be an important month for me but I know that I can get myself well and truly back on track in that time. I won’t quite be starting my season as early as originally thought, but instead will opt for getting some good training back in the body. Its a long season and its not the end of the world if that racing begins for me a few weeks later than planned.....im never going to be short of races in Belgium thats for sure!
Until next time......
