Ouch!
Pushing things a little too hard at the weekend and I came a cropper, I don’t think the bruise has come out yet. A swift over the handlebars moment caused by too much enthusiasm and not enough skill caused the damage. This was under my protective leg guards, the knees of which were cracked in the impact. I was very glad I was wearing them…
Training Update
I’ve just realised it’s less than 12 weeks to go until I leave for France, that’s really making me feel like I need to up the training. Currently I’m managing 2 offroad rides a week but I need to get a few commutes in to increase the distance as well as some more downhill for the technical side of things. It’s beginning to feel quite a daunting prospect.
Gulp!

About
I started this website to record my progress as I try to compete in the Mega Avalanche in July 2008, said to be one of the worlds toughest mountain bike races. As I write this in December 2007 I have zero downhill racing experience and pretty mediocre fitness.
The reason for attempting this is to raise at least £2,500 for the Severn Hospice, a charity that provides fantastic care for those with serious illnesses in the Shropshire and Mid Wales area.
If you would like to donate then please visit my charity page, or to find out more look here.
And if you are wondering about the title of my site, it was the first words from the mouth of my best mate as I told him what I was going to attempt...
