Welcome to 2011 and to my new blog, this year i will be based in Issoire for the racing season and will keep you updated with my progress throughout the year.
My training got off to a good start in December after my winter break, when i spent 10 days in Lanzarote getting in the miles with some top guys and my brother, who were all staying at club la santa, which proved to be a perfect destination for chilling out after long days in the saddle. We came back to again face the challenge of training in the snow. So most of the days in the close run up to christmas were spent freezing my ass off on the mountain bike. Fortunatly, i just happen to live in The awesome Yorkshire valley of Wharfedale. And so with the combination of a great selection of off road trails, beautiful scenery, and great people to train with, such as my brother and the Brownlee brothers, the snow passed pretty quickly.
This led me up to christmas, which was spent at home with the family, relaxing, and eating....alot.
And so now, the snow has pretty much melted so some good Yorkshire Dales miles have been done, and preparations for 2011 are going well,so lets hope for a good year all round.
