The time has come for me to leave the team (Team Syncros Endurance - was Ironhorse Extreme). I’ve enjoyed my time with the team and met some great people through it. But, without going into detail, it was time to leave. Awkward for both parties at the start of season I know, but, like the close of any relationship, the timing is rarely perfect. Rob works very hard for the team and I wish them all the best for the future. All the riders live for riding and racing and they will continue to be a force at the biggest endurance races. Not that it’s goodbye…. we will continue to ride together in the future. 

None of this effects my focus and motivation for the coming season…. I don’t claim to be the most natural / fastest / talented endurance rider… But, what I do possess is dedication and motivation. One day I will convert all that focus into the ride that I know is deep inside me and, whatever the race position, all the hard work will be worth it. I feel confident that this could be the year. There is a real buzz about the coming season – let’s all enjoy it : )

I’ll be updating my blog accordingly to suit my new circumstances. Just been non stop of late as I’ve also recently secured a new job working for Sustrans, promoting and developing cycling in schools. Great job! 

Life’s been busy, busy, busy…
