lazy boy
hello everyone
well its been far too long i know since any news has appeared on this page. I can only put it down to being lazy, as the excuse of 'just dont have time anymore' just doesnt wash with some people.
So i write this news update from a Japanese Hotel room, single of course. No distracts here.
The past month has been a busy period of racing for me, well if i'm honest i havent done too much racing just travelling to some cool citys around the world. Getting stuck in the US was a bit of a bummer but getting stuck in the state of Connecticut wasnt too bad. I'm now in Japan after 1 week at home, where i got as many cuddles in as i could with my now 10 month old daughter, Lily. 10 months has gone very fast, before i know it the season will be over and i will writing another update. haha.
Anyway, after this Tour of Japan trip, its straight into the Tour Series Circuit races for the a very busy 6 week period. This is my big goal for the season, so i hope to carry some form thru from this stage race here in Japan. 25th May in Canary Wharf London is where it all starts.
see you all there.

festive period over
well people.
after 2 months back in training at a steady rate, (apart from my 24 hours in Portuga just before xmas.) i have just come back from a festive break. I travelled to Belgium for the new year to visit my adopted belgium family, we also took little Lily along for her first trip abroad. Everyone loved her as she does smile alot and is constantly happy baby.
With the weather so bad in the UK, snow on most of the roads around here, i managed the rollers today for 1hour 5mins. Actually just thinkin about that, thats about all the time i will be racing for this season again with so many crits planned on my 2010 programme. Anyway i just hope the weather gets better over the next few days as i do wish to get a few long rides in before i go away on training camp with the team (long being 4 hours or so.)
Tomorrow i take delivery of a new shiney toy.

end of another season
The older i get the better i become it seems.
another season has finished and another great season too.
Finishing in Australias Herald Suntour was a great ending too, albeit the weather was crap, cold, wet and windy most days, i managed 2 x 6th placings in 2 sprint stages.
now its my time to kick back put my feet up and rest up for the winter, where i have a few Revolution track events to take part in.
not sure how much rest i will be getting with Little Lily bouncing around more and more.
what a year.
thanks for the support from all my sponsors and family and freinds.

Last 4 Months
hello people
over the last 4 months i have had a very busy period of racing and training, during this period i have been taking a supplement which includes Vegatables, Fruit and Vineyard extracts.
I have felt that my recovery has been improved vastly, after all the criterums and driving the car inbetween, i still had the energy to get up for the next one and go for the win.
Juice + has been a fantastic addition to my racing programme for my 2009 season, and i have never felt any sickness all year. Moving into my winter period where the weather will be turning worse but my body will be fighting through it fueled by Juice +.
check out the link below for all the information on Juice +.
