After a very long silence, I'm back! Long silence following the misery of SITS 2008 - mud, mud, mud and then 5 months off riding due to injuring my knee from pushing my bike for 24 hours.
This time was used to full effect to finish my singlespeed build - originally planned to be a 'budget' build but ending up a long way from that. XT, hope and stans flow rims put paid to that idea, but it has turned out to be a brilliant bike (confirmed yesterday whilst riding the new singletrack at Sherwood Pines - not sure I have ever ridden that quick before!)
Comedy cyclo cross at Christmas time followed, with the team taking a sound kicking in the Lincolnshire League.
An entertaining trip to Dalby has been and gone, and now I've got back into the local club racing at the first Lincs League Road Race on Wednesday night. Somehow, after virtually no riding over the winter, I managed to keep with my group and nearly get the sprint! Ace stuff, but much pain.
Oh yeah, I have also grown a nice red beard, but that it (possibly) about to go.
Hooray for bikes.
