It feels like a milestone today, just 60 days until I get on that plane! It definitely feels like a good place to start this blog.
Where am I now? I'm still in the middle of selling everything I own, working like mad to tie things up at work and not sleeping enough as I worry about my finances for the summer. There's sod all time in there for riding at the moment. Both my bikes are in a bit of a poor state actually, my Pitch got pulled apart 3 weeks ago for a bit of a service, and has never got back together. My singlespeed has a buggered chain and the singlespeed specific replacement I bought wouldn't stop skipping. So, very little riding for me at the moment.
It's quite hard to focus on everything you do going towards a summer of non-stop riding when that means you don't seem to find the time (or, if I'm honest, the inclination) to ride your bike now.
Fortunately I've got a good kick up the mojo coming this weekend, with the second round of the Cornwall Freeriders cup being held at Rosewall. I was gutted to miss the first round due to a course, so lucky for me the second doesn't clash with anything and the only obstacle to my racing is being able to get my bike in a rideable state on Saturday. Hopefully without taking a box of bits in to the bikeshop at 16.30 begging for help!
