Off down to sunny Lancashire to take on Ramsbottom Rake on Sunday, looking to build on my stunning 92nd place on the same hill in 2005 (I did beat Michael Hutchison though!)... Long way to go for 4 minutes of pain, but there we are!
Well done to Lewis Mulholland, Danny Mulholland and Sarah Bradford who have been invited by British Cycling to attend the second SSR at the Sir Chirs Hoy Velodrome. This will be another 8 hour session, this time on Match Sprint.
The session has a practical element where riders will learn core racing skills along with classroom type workshops based around understanding of the particular discipline and its cross over to the athlete lifestyle and training guides and ideas.
The same Jets were 3 out of only 20 youth riders from across Scotland to be invited to SSR 1 last Sunday, which was on Flying 200s and Keirin.
Later coaching sessions which they've be looking for invitations to will be on Team Pursuit, Elimination and Madison.
would anyone be interested in a trip to glentress in the next 2 to 4 weeks, for a blast round the trails, i have a pall that races down hill and is up for giving us a bit of free training on xc skills.
