Its the first day of spring!


So that means spring winds! Fantastic. Just over the wet muddy conditions and now into winds that keep you up at night and try and blow you off your bike. Nothing like a bit of resistance training, perfect build up for altitude racing. Not many sleeps now before we take off towards the other side of the world to the SS Champs. Will be strange racing SS in summer conditions, have had to modify the outfit. Long coat, feather hat, stockings and heals are probably going to be a bit warm. Have opted for a few less layers :)

The blog begins ....

Only 19 sleeps to go before the SS gets on the plane and we start the adventure! The journey will begin with a flight to Hawaii for some volcano riding - aka altitude training.
Also required will be some lying on a beach watching Stephen kite in the home of Kite Surfing - Kite Beach. Check out www.kitebeachcam.com/webcam to see if you can see us :)
