Not a good day…
06 Jun 2009
Waking up to rain dripping through the roof of my trailer and onto the outer of the two sleeping bags required to stave off hypothermia is not a brilliant way to begin any day. The rain was incessant and I was soaked through within the first lap of qualifying. The track was really slippery, so […]
BBC Wiltshire radio interview
05 Jun 2009
If you get a chance to listen to BBC Wiltshire tomorrow (Sat 6th) from around 2pm, you can hear an interview I did with sports journalist Ian Longdon last night.

A Mountain to climb
07 Apr 2009
Round two is here already and looming large in the distance lies Cadwell Park’s infamous Mountain, a wrecker of bikes, nerves, and chances should you get it wrong. As loved as the circuit is by so many, it’s a fickle friend that requires plenty of experience to negotiate with safety and speed.

Mallory Park
15 Mar 2009
After a week of riding the usual route to work the weekend is here. The sun is shining and I do not have too much of a hangover. I am up and on my bike to meet my old mate Simon Quantrell at Weedon on the A5.
