My racing experiences, training plans and other good intentions
The aim of this site is to track my progress as I plan, train and race in mountain bike races in various categories and in fact countries, whether it's for fun or a little more serious only time will tell. Hopefully this site will give me some record of my progress, something to look back on in years to come with fond memories. Hopefully others might learn something from it too.
