Here we go!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting and keep coming back.

Last season I made the transition from junior racing to under 23, at national B Level against some of the best professional riders in the country, Although quite a big step up from the junior ranks I was very pleased with how my season went, a dozen top ten results, lots of breaks, and my first win after 80 tough hilly miles away with Tom Stewart from RST Trigon.

Now onto 2013, I have joined a new team committed to developing junior and U23 riders like myself. SportsCover, has been on the rise for a few years now and I am very grateful to be a part of such a great set up with brilliant support from Mark Barry and Ashley Brown. We will be sponsored by CNP Cycling, Kask helmets, KTM Bikes, Haribo, Skoda, Oakley, Schwalbe, Bio Racer.

Ten days in Murcia Spain before Christmas was great for some warm sunny miles but a week off with a cold in the new year was not a good start! Just 5 weeks until the start of the season i`m back in full flow, getting good quality training in, helped by my coach Mark Turner and racing each Tuesday at Manchester Velodrome in the Premier Division track league for the top end speed.

With the roads a bit white at the minute its looking like ill be on the turbo and in the gym for a few days.


Until next time, Sam
