Apologies for not keep up the blog...

...it's moved place, it's at: http://www.veloveritas.co.uk/

I will keep posting here from time to time, mostly things that aren't 100% relevant to cycling. 

I'm of to Argentina on Thursday, wish me luck!

I will be a cyclist in 2012

I've come to a deal with my current team to continue. I'm not thrilled but at least it should be an interesting year. I start right in mid-January with the Tour of San Luis in Argentina.

I'll give it my best shot again.

A climb up to Foia, next year and plan ahead.

A climb up to Foia.

Today I did a little test up Foia. This a 7.5km climb that rises from 450m to 900m. It's got a shallow gradient and you usually get a head wind going up it. I forgot how chilly it gets just 900m up! I did it in 20.27m which was good. I've only been training for two weeks after two months off. In the summer I could do 3x sub18m up the climb! So there's a lot of work to be done.

Next year.

No news yet, regarding cycling next year. It's funny though, I can't help feeling calm about things. I had a word with a friend about things, he told how much a certain cycling team are paying people and I just thought that that wouldn't do. So if I get a similar offer, it will be ciao aí (bye there).

Plan ahead young sports person.

There a couple of kids who want to go training with me, or do go training with me. I might make it a point that only kids working doing an apprenticeship or studying may train with me! Seriously, it seems like a game when you're 20, but when you want to actually make a life, it's very unlikely you'll be doing it pedaling a bike.
