Night Riding

Congrats to Felix for his win over Sir Chris Hoy at the Europeans, epic result, can't think of anyone who deserves a result like that more than Felix.  Feel like I am on the far less glamorous side of cycling at the moment with my winter training.  As work usually finishes pretty late, I tend to get home, have a nap and then start training about 7.30-8.00 and go for a couple of hours while the roads are a bit quieter.  Been loving the night riding as so few cars, saw 3 shooting stars tonight and practicing handling throwing the bike round the tight corners of Lewes one-way system at 10pm with no cars on the road is a lot of fun, if a bit mental.  Legs feeling pretty good, stamina building, going to be a good season.

Great team ride on Sunday and good to see George, Tom, Tom and Lewis joining the club as well as Jack Oliver-Blaney who was pretty much part of the club last year anyway.  Going to be an awesome year, can't wait for all the race calendars to come out, first race 15th Jan; can't believe I am looking forward to racing at Hillingdon!  Got about 90 percent of my Sussex coursework done for the entire year; just one essay and one presentation left and so plenty of time for training now!
