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 +.

next to the podium
Hi guys and girls
I was next to the podium yesterday at Preston GP criterium with a 4th place, but then i managed to muscle my way on there on my own too, when i was presented with the British Cycling National Circuit race series Overall victory for the 2009 season, making me ( according to Cycling Weeklys words) KING OF CRITS.
After setting my goals with Team Boss John Herety back in feb i feel i have achieved these goals as winning as many as i could and podium placing in crits all way through the year.
Next stop is 1 last race in Australia, The Herald SunTour.
cheers
