There's a few things to update on since my last post.

First off, i'm now officially engaged to Kate!! No immediate plans to set any dates but super happy to say the least!! She had no idea i'd had the ring she wanted since January so was pretty surprised went that bad boy came out last monday!!

I've mentioned before about things happening with BC. Well, to simplify it, i've been released from the programme but the doors open if results improve in the future. I'm not overly happy about it to put it bluntly but i guess thats life and there's nowt i can do to change things other than go out and get the results i need. Time will tell....

I went across to Valkenswaard this past wkend to race the euro rd. Lets just say that i didn't ride the best and the results showed that. I went out there thinkng that all the crap thats gone on for the last few wks would help me but it just all blew up in my face. Spent the wkend feeling worn out from it all. After speaking to Kate, LP and Shinny, I realised i wasn't in the best frame of mind to actually race at all. I was gutted saturday night and on sunday's journey home.
I've had time to think things through since being home and have put things into perspective so i'm looking forward to my next big races which'll include Braintree National this wkend, Manchester National, Norway Euro Champs and finally the Worlds in SA.
I've managed to get in with the ZellTours party for the Worlds so that should be pretty fun.

Under the main picture at the top of the blog should be a link to my YouTube page. I've put up a video i put together, isn't anything fancy and it's my first try at doing it so i hope it's ok? Let me no what you think......

I've had some new gear sent through from FOX this wk. They've sent down some new gear bags and some training T's (as i can wear my own gear from now on!). The bags are real sweet and i'm pretty sure i could sleep in one of them, it's that big!!!!

That about does it for now and i'll try and get back on it with more regular updates from now on
