Been getting some real good training in the last few days but the weather has been absolutely terrible up in Manchester. Sprints yesterday were a complete wash out but we all stayed out in it until we got them all done. Something strangley rewarding about training in shitty weather like that. Pretty sure i was dryer in the shower than when i was sprinting!!

Did a session over at Plattfields track this afternoon with LP, Dan Atherton, Shanaze and Abi Taylor. They've changed the track a little bit and i think that when it all goes hard it'll be pretty good. I was sceptical on the changes they had planned but i stand corrected and i'm sure it'll work quite well.

Just in the process all getting all my gear sorted for the Grands, we don't fly until Tuesday but i'm heading back to Bristol for a couple of days first to spend some time with Kate and my family. But, before i go home there's a small matter of hitting up YoSushi! for lunch with LP tomorrow, there's no better way of blowing 25quid!!

I'll update again ina few days
