Prep for WC 1 at Dalby

Sorry about the lack of updates over the last week. My laptop stopped working Thursday last week so I’ve struggled to get online other than via my phone. Not long to go now till the first World Cup of the year, round 1 at Dalby takes place this weekend. The team is also taking part in the Pro Sprint Eliminator around Pickering on Friday night, should be great fun, getting proper excited, should be an awesome weekend.

With this volcano disrupting air travel its unknown quiet who will be on the start line. The entry list however is here

Unfortunately the Australia side of the TORQ team have already confirmed that they will not make it to the UK for the weekend, so disappointed for them. Would have been amazing to have the whole team together, guess we’ll have to wait till Houffalize next week.

The race bike is going into the shop tomorrow for its final tune up before the weekend. Quite interested just to see just how quick this thing can climb up some decent climbs, on the small short sharp climbs locally here it’s a true mountain goat.


Keep an eye on my twitter feed as I’ll try my best to keep you updated with photos over the weekend. If your at Dalby watching the race please come and say hello.
