End of season review

What a season! In my first proper year of cycling, which has just flown by, I have experienced many highs and lows. Below are some basic statistics about this season if you are interested:

Wins: 5
Seconds/third/s and fourths: 11
Fifth to tenths: 13
Elevenths to twentieths: 7
Total amount of points collected this season: 446
Number of races finished: 46
All this information appears on the British Cycling website under Rankings if anyone is interested or here's the link http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/points?person_id=14055&year=2012&d=4

The highilights have to be the five wins, being picked up by Aprire Bicycles and my third in the recent SERRL Champs. The lowlights have to be during the months of May and June where I struggled for consistent results due to mechanical and wheel issues with my bikes. I have learnt so much this year and cna't wait to start racing again next year and in France! Definately an exciting time in my life and can't wait to put into practice all that I have learnt.

It has been a long hard season, but, just shy of my Elite License, I have decided to hibernate for it a bit. This is because I began to get ill just before the Maldon R.R. and have got worse since, a sure sign that my body wants and needs a rest. Not only that, but it would be better for me to go to France as a First cat. rider rather than a Elite so that I can race more and not be put in races against Pierre Roland and Co... from the off and so will be much better for my and the team's development.

All the people I need to thank have already been thanked in the previous post and anyway, they know who they are.

Now it's time to begin winter training and get back to sweating a load on the turbo, but the most exciting exercise this winter will definately be getting back on the weights, oh how I've missed doing biceps curls and particuarly doing them in Swansea with such machines as Steve Jones and Ollie Thomas whilst oggling Alun-Wyn Jones. This will be the most exciting thing until I get my Powertap set up, hopefully sometime in November :)

Anyway thank you reader for making my blog such a success and taking the time to read all off this, it means a lot to me, please continue the support.
