Happy New Year. Well, I hope its a better year than 2004.
Here I am in Switzerland. Don't know for how long. This week at any rate.
Training started badly, with a couple of missed weekends in January, partly due to work, partly due to laziness. My racing was rubbish, from being dropped in the first race I rode in March (ha, the LVRC near Worcester) and in the second (the BC vets series). And the track, the great hope on which I spent almost a thousand quid on a new bike ? 18th in the Halesowen league, with many missed Fridays, I entered Manchester but heard nothing. Crap ride in the Midlands championships when Jayne cut her hand. Then just drifted out of training. Had a decent 2-up TT with Meg, helped out at the Team Midland TT. Started weight training but had to stop because of coming here to Switzerland.
And Hazel. Blimey, I think its left me permanently scarred.
Now its all back to more than normal. Bought her an original artwork, some fancy chocolates and some posh perfume. She bought me cologne, and lots of nice skin-care stuff. God knows, I need it !
