The Masters in Albi By way of background Ian Deakin and I needed to qualify to gain an entry to the World Masters Championships in Albi in August. Ian had already pre-qualified in the Cypriot event for the RR and TT for his age group 60 t0 65. So when I went to Peterborough for […]

I’d start off this report by confirming that I am not Welsh, although I did serve there for 4.5 years in the RAF I’d won this event in a record breaking time 12 months ago, and although I’ve been struggling a wee bit with recovery, after my National 12 hour escapades, I had some good

I have always ridden the Junior Nationals however since I never thought I’d be able to jump up to the level needed to be competitive at the Senior Nationals for quite a few years, I never made them a major season goal. Instead, I’d focused much of my training efforts on the road for 2017

National Ride London Grand Prix This race has been my favourite race since I first competed in it and has since then been the race I most look forward to. It’s my sort of circuit: flat and untechnical, which has only ever ended up in a sprint. This year we decided to drive up early
