My First Blog

So as I write my first blog I have to think of things that people will want to read about, something that once people have read it they might think that they have learnt something along the way... I feel this is wishful on my part, I was never the best at creative writing.

After a season of support from clothing manufacturer Primal Europe ( http://www.primaleurope.com) when the offer came to come and try/model their new 2016 stuff came around I was quite excited, plus an expenses payed trip somewhere with the promise of a few freebies is always good!
Setting off the night before I drove merrily down the M5 all the way to plymouth and to a room I thought primal had booked for me there, turns out they had booked a room in exeter instead! I got there late  in the evening and was starting to panic when I couldn't get hold of anyone, thinking oh I am moving towards a lovely night in the car! So I rang the only other person I knew in Plymouth, Our Spanish rider Adria Moreno Sala. luckily he managed to sort me a sofa in Mike Jenner's house (a good bloke who has done a bit of spannering for the team this year) Have to say I am pretty grateful to them and maybe I should ask more questions instead of assuming something, also maybe to expect someone to try and make my life easier every once in a while! turns out nick webster (photographer http://www.nickwebster.com) enjoyed the room on his own.

A Taster of the new stuff:




I have just come back off a good 4 day break away to dorset with the Rach. Thoroughly enjoyed bumbling around the countryside. Went and saw a castle with a good view, weather was good until the last day but what would a British holiday be without a bit of rain?!

So I am back now and I'm looking forward to doing some track stuff this winter. Got the Dave Creasy Six coming up in a couple of weeks time. Will be riding with Euan Cattermole, Absolute ringer! Will be good to race 2 olympic tracks in 2 days ( cool fact for you there). 


All this will hopefully help me build the legs for the national team pursuit champs, So I have plenty of projects going on to keep me busy with. 

I can't really think of anything else that interesting to add. Maybe when a few people actually start reading this I might come up with more stuff.
