Join the rest of us, my season finished mid september. I'm going to
start serious training this weekend with a camp in Stoke Mandaville
hospital with Steve Trew. I'll let you know how it goes. I've not
managed to get the mental side of things together to cycle to work and
back in the dark yet. Living in Cumbria there are hardley any street
lights, and lots of traffic from Sellafield.
