Dream Bike?


I'm probably as close as I will ever get to my dream bike. A local chap with a graphic design studio has customised my Campag Bora decals. I quite like the results.

Another 2 months!

Well almost 2 months since the last post. What have we been up to?

The winter training is now well underway. Almost 7 kilos of weight loss and I'm now up to 125km rides feeling fresh. In another 2 weeks the dreaded intervals will kick in. First race on the 2nd March at Cavaillon. I came 2nd last year so who knows.

I've been snowboarding too! for the first time since the millenium at Aviemore. One day at a great resort called Orcieres near Gap and another day with fresh powder at Super Devoluy.

The other thing is snowshoeing or raquettes! Stomping arount to the summit of Mont Ventoux when there's a meter of snow where your bike usually goes is great fun and the views are fantastic.

I've also been experimenting with Moviemaker. Here's a couple of short vids. This ones a Cat 2 race in a village called Richerenches near Valreas.


This ones a small section from a video I did on a Club run with my club USC Vaison last summer.
