New Year

     Long time no see. Since the last post I've continued with my training pretty successfully I'd like to think with lots more miles on the road. New year was good fun and I managed to get out early the next day for a steady 50km in the sun and continued the rest of the week with similar rides all week. Saturday's chaingang proved interesting with a big crash just before Ormiston involving a horse and lots of riders down. Thankfully I managed to come out OK but quite a few guys seemed hurt and one had managed to snap his bars in half!
   
     This Monday provided my first visit to the gym in a few years and after an hour of weights and core my body was aching but I managed to get a lot in and it was a fun change to doing core at home. After three very hard weeks I decided to ease off slightly with a gentler week this week. Chaingang this morning was freezing in the snow and hopefully that will all clear up soon so I can get back out on big rides again.
   
     Next week I'll be back to the velodrome for the first time in the new year with another school of racing and having got accreditation 4 I can now start racing on the boards weekly which should be great fun and good training as well. I've also entered the first British round in London at the end of April and the racing season seems just around the corner. Cheers for reading, over and out.
