The end is nigh for the BLOG

After nearly three years the time has come to close my blog. It has become an unweidly monster and needs to be let loose on society.

So standby for the all new rutraining website with

its own forum, coaches corner, race diary, race reports and training section.

This will be an open to all website with coaches corner being a registered section.

Thanks to all of you who have supported this blog over the years.

Link will be posted here once the website is up and running

We have joined Somerset RC

Next year Rob Willcocks and I will be racing for Somerset Road Club. Our team mate will be none other than "shooter" Greg Sandy and and the "Reemer" Kelvin Price. The club has decided to sponsor 4 riders and I hope we will be able to repay them with lots of results.

PLYMOUTH CAMP DAY ONE REPORT AND DAY 2 PLAN

Day One - Very Cold and slippy. Lots of us turned up with severe hangovers others didn't make it at all. Nasty weather meant we could only stay on the low roads but we headed out towards Kingsbridge and Totnes. We rode into a hefty headwind and only escaped as we turned round at Totnes. Good ride with no silliness.


Day Two - Head out to Tavistock then Sourton leaving Novotel 0830 but all be aware of icy conditions if it is too icy we will delay by one hour. Stand by for the text.
