First races

I've started racing at last with a good result in the Alhamilla
xtreme on Sunday with a 6th o/a. I always forget how tough mtb races are especially when they are 125km, it just seems to take forever to clock up the miles at times. I'm of to El Ejido tommorrow for another 80km mtb race with 2200mts of climbing, the 3rd time doing this race for me and I'm feeling quit strong so we will see. We have got quite a few booked in for upcoming sportives which is going to make a nice change to be on the road bike in anger.

Training weeks

We are finally starting to calm down a bit here after only having a few free days since November. Thank you to every one who has been out and for all your encouraging words. Below are a couple of links from reports people have given while they have been out cycling. The cyclo sportive season starts soon and we have plenty of people coming over to try out racing with the Spanish.

Miles and miles

Brighton miter "training" Chispaaaaaa!



We have been going out road cycling constantly now for weeks braving all weathers and helping every one get in some solid winter miles. The sun has come out today with a huge temperature increase which is great for the coming weeks guests. My next race is the El Ejido mtb marathon which I'm looking forward to even though I've had no time on the mtb.
