National Ride London Grand Prix This race has been my favourite race since I first competed in it and has since then been the race I most look forward to. It’s my sort of circuit: flat and untechnical, which has only ever ended up in a sprint. This year we decided to drive up early […]

Gp de Cherves. Final round of the French national series! Once again I was offered a guest ride by HMT in this race. The biggest race on the French national series. 130kms long with 10km circuits to do. Rolling terrain, narrow lanes and then wide open exposed roads was going to make it tough! The race

Scarborough Junior National. This was a race which I had heard a lot of stories about from previous years. The Circuit had a large hill in it along with a longish decent so positioning was going to be key for this one. The race got under way and I was right near the front about

National MTB Championships 2017 22-23rd July: 2017 Cannock Chase: Staffordshire An Epic Battle!! I travelled early again on the Saturday morning with the Birchills to Cannock Chase for the one off National MTB Championships at the end of July.

Junior National 25 –  Ever since I started doing TT’s I’ve always wanted to be able to have a decent crack at a national event. I did this last year in the GHS 10 and came out with 8th overall. I was happy with this but wanted more. I had good season of getting some

Sunday July 30th saw the second running of the Tour of Witheridge Moor. I hadn’t raced the course before, and it became clear from just a 15 minute spin to warm up a bit that it wasn’t going to be flat. The race was to be 2 laps of 26.5 miles, with a total of

It took us about 4 and a half hours to get to Milton Keynes on the Saturday. I had raced the same course the year before but still wanted to go and look. Thankfully sections had been resurfaced however big potholes and rough road surface still littered the course. The rain poured down when we

On Tuesday 18th July Tim Hingston from the Mid Devon promoted the Inaugural Mid Devon CC World Circuit Racing Champs at the Velopark. The idea of a club champs had been muted for several years but 2017 was the year it finally came to fruition. First up was a 4th CAT/Go Race event which was won
