So here it is...
Merry Christmas everyone!
Wow, another year has passed and where are we... The end of 2007, cyclists are still on drugs, Labour are still in power, the youth of Britain are all drunk. But hey, thats life!
How about that for a way to start my first post in what seems like ages. The last few weeks have just flown by what with uncounted hours on the bike in very very cold conditions, not to mention a weekend of night shifts to muck up what little sleep pattern I have. And my last post was all about coursework getting on top of me. So December has been sooooo busy, but we're nearly there. As I write its Christmas Eve and Im about to go for a few drinks to celebrate that fact. Even though everyone seems to hate it, at the end of the day, we all still love it! And even more exciting to me at least, on Boxing Day I will make my first return to competitive racing since my operation in August. Well, I say excited, its really a kind of nervous apprehension as I just don't know what to expect. I have ridden over a thousand Kilometres since the beggining of December, so I feel pretty strong now. At least I think I do... Added to this, im wondering simply will I have the bottle to be mixing it in the bunch at speed again. I really hope I do. But to be honest, thats why I'm starting racing so soon, before the 2008 season can even be deemed to have started really. Although as far as gaining points on the pursuit of promotion goes, the season is well and truly underway.
On top of all of this, It will be my debut race in the colours of my new team. And I'm determined to do the jersey proud. Further more, my Mum and Dad are even coming to watch. I've raced over 50 times now in my short racing career, but this will be the first time the are coming to watch. So, no pressure then! Although ultimately the biggest burdon of pressure comes from my own mind, something which I really need to overcome this year.
Anyhow, its Christmas, so enough about bikes, for now at least. (I am probably going to go for a quick spin in the morning though!) I wonder what Santa has in store for me tomorow??? Oh and I wonder if i'll see him while I stagger home later... Oh and for those of you who have commented on the seemingly infamous 'rollercoaster love life' part of the first post, maybe they'll be something to write about later, maybe... Anyhow, roll on Boxing Day!
