2012 Review
Somewhat later than planned: – 2012 was another roller-coaster year! Thankfully it’s mostly been good except for one major blip at the National championships May. Here are some of my favourite photographs from last year showing the main highlights: – January – Receiving a lovely Matrix Pyro frame. February – Putting in some good training miles. March – The…
Read MoreThe Runners Wall
Not heard of The Runners Wall yet? I came across this ingenious little item recently when I visited Sportlink in Norwich to buy some new running shoes. Essentially it’s a wall mounted display for sports medals to help keep them neat and tidy – Something Jill will no doubt be pleased about! In all seriousness,…

Read MoreProduct Review – Matrix 806 Wheelset
Introduction The Matrix T806 wheelset are the first all carbon hoops I have used.

Read MoreBack to “Normal”
After the fun and games out in New Zealand during October, I was looking forward to things being a bit quieter for a while. However, this just never really seems to happen in our world. Since being home, we were straight back to work and it’s been just a tad busy on that front recently! Apart from work,…
