alrite guys. hows it going? as some of u no i am currently racing in Brittany, France. I was thinking of doing a weekly blog like joe and emma but about racing and living in France - hopefully to inspire some of you to try something similar one day but also to fill in some of my spare time, lol, I have lots of it! Not sure if anyone looks at this bit of the site but if anyone reads it and wants me to write a weekly blog let me no by replying on this forum.
peace out

Good Deals

Two pairs of tri-bars available:

3TTT Bio-Arms (as used by David Millar) - as new £25

Cinelli Corna Tri-bars - these use Spinachi-type fittings - £15

Note that both sets of bars need standard diameter handlebars for fitting.  Oversize won't work unless you mount them wide of the central section on o/size bars.

Just done the NECCA League Round 3 / Hetton Hawks cyclo cross race today and left my kit in a black bin bag somewhere in the clubhouse. Club shirt was in there (Barrrow Central Wheelers). I would be very grateful to get them back if anyone has any info.

Cheers

The first thing I would want any serious rider to do is have an annual plan.  I've attached one here that is adapted from the standard British Cycling annual planner.  Mine has a peak and trough trend line on it and the example shows how different periods of training can be used.  It is based on an actual one developed for a successful Southern rider. 

This is to introduce a new Forum to advise on coaching related
matters.  File attachments will be added as necessary to assist any
enquiries.  Although I will lead this Forum, other coaches may add
comments or content as they wish.  All I ask is that the advice is
grounded in good practice! 

So, you shouldn't hear anything
about getting bathed in vinegar as a way of improving recovery (yes,
honestly) - but you might hear about the benefits of eating a sandwich
within thirty minutes of training to do the same thing.  

Hi Everyone

If you have not seen already. Some of the Hawks have made page 9 of today's Journal for riding the Durham event on Sunday.

Well done to Alex who came first and Emma for being the first girl to finish.
