Winter is here and the indoor training has commenced early

The lab tests are over and the 1000miles on the fixed wheel wearing a 22lb weight jacket is complete. The long miles have put the base back in me for the winter slog.

The early arrival of ice and snow has meant that I have had to turn to indoor training and endless sessions in the gym. A combination of circuit training, body pump classes, swimming and turbo training sessions on the bike is helping me through the bad weather. Its simply not worth risking the icy roads and picking up an injury or a virus.

I have already been invited to the compete in the Montello 24 in Italy and have been asked to compete in Race Around Ireland in September in a two man team with the aim of setting a new course record. It seems that the season is already starting to come together.

Allsports have published a calendar for 2011 which is distributed world wide and the picture in this blog will appear in the month of April.

Big thanks to Sarah Brooke photography for allowing the picture to be used.

I must also thank Iceni Mineral Water, JBS Flooring, Baines Racing, Times Square, Aspex sports glasses, Allsports International for supporting me for the 2011.

Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year
