Stage one we had very little time with the camera as we had a lot to do. Numbers pinned on, debate the number of pins, bottles and kit to sort. Factor 25 for myself slapped on the head. A Fast and furious start saw a lot of compressions with cars parked on the right. I got … Continue reading Tour of the North 2019
Newry 3 day done and dusted. Would have liked to be in the mix but Saturday saw me loose touch out of the break. That was any chance of GC gone, just nothing in the legs. On my way backwards, Thomas, guest riding for us, was on his way forward. He managed to get into … Continue reading Newry 3 day
The last round of the Fixx Coffee Supercross was held at Russborough House. I have leading the over all from round 1 and needed to finish 3rd to get the over all win. The course was a balance of tyre pressure, to hard loose in the corners in the lower half. To spot risk a … Continue reading Fixx rd 4

In 2005 Kinning Cycles & I ventured to Belguim. The Homeland of cycling, never mind cyclocross. I was the only rider to race as another club member pulled out at the last moment. This passion funded from racing the World Cup the year before at Miltion Keynes. I took on GP Hasselt, part of the … Continue reading Throwback: Racing in Belgium 2015 (Hasselt & Koksijde)
So each season I sit down look at the calendar and work some sort of scheduled out. Pick the races I'd like to do and note the ones I can't make. Obviously, life can affect this as we go, sickness, work and family life. It's a good idea to look at the season, work … Continue reading Cyclocross schedule
