Blimey, look everyone that old blokes riding round the track! And hell it’s hard work too :o) That’s my winter training sorted then – bit of bmx riding, running and i might even throw in some riding on a real sized bike. All that standing up and pedaling really seems to work my legs and i’m totally out of breath after each and every lap – maybe it’s because the damn thing weighs nearly 30lbs…

See you down at the track, Platt Fields Manchester.
