Life is good!

On the 4^th March my girlfriend (Beth) and I travelled down to Woodbury Common for the first round of the South West series. It was Beth’s birthday on the Saturday night prior to the race, it resulted in me throwing my guts up after only 4 pints, not the most ideal race prep, and I think you’ll agree.

On arrival I wasn’t feeling up for racing if I’m honest, I had a headache, felt sick and it was pissing down with rain outside. I did contemplate not starting but thought I may as well give it a bash. After a reasonable start I later regretted my decision to start the race as I had to pull out after only two laps due to having no energy as it was all lost in the toilet the night before, I also had a tumble on the second lap, the tree came off better, put it that way. Never will I be drinking on a night before a race again, even if it is a special occasion.

After the race I headed back home to finish getting my things packed for the bike mechanics course I’m currently on. I am thoroughly enjoying the course so far; I’m over a week through the two week course now and wouldn’t have thought it was possible to learn the amount I have learnt in just over a week. I originally came on the course for my own benefit as I was shocking at mechanics. I’m now seriously looking into setting up my own business. I finish the course this Friday and can’t wait to get started.  

I would just like to say a big thank you to Clee Cycles for their help. They are going to be supplying me with KCNC components for this year, something I am really excited about. Life is good!
