Time out

You may be wondering why I've not posted in a while? Other than being very busy at work and two birthday's in March (Kate and James) my motivation has taken a dip so the natural desire to blog has declined.

Motivation is a constant struggle while competing at high levels. Other than the will to win there needs to be other incentives: fitness, weight control, socialising/fun, saving money by commuting etc... to keep me going - training and racing.

Then there's the ever-constant internal and external conscious pressure to spend more time with the family: "you can always ride your bike, but your kids need you around - they grow up so quickly". Who can argue with that?

So, for now I need to gather all my thoughts perhaps do some re-shuffling and make some decisions. Hopefully I'll be back in full-force soon.

While on some time out I'll be following the Cape Epic, in South Africa, London Cycle Sport for local race news and results and British Cycling. I'll also be following my mates by checking out their racing blogs: Brandon Stewart and Burry Stander.
