Had a good day on Monday. Spent about 3 hours talking to local folk in the park. Ages ranges from 6 to around 40. Lots of enthusiasm and you could not keep the comments back . I did between 15- 20 face to face interviews covering pre- teens, teens, parents and adult riders.

A kick off meeting for the proposed bmx dirt track was held today at Lordship Recreation Grounds.
Some of the representatives were Luisa from Harringey council who is coordinating the project, Phil Dunne the park architect (and previous bmx racer / freestyle rider), DJ CK Flash who runs xtremebmx has built tracks and organises races and school activities in Peckham and trains the olympic team. We also had Ian Holt the environmental conservationist, Dave Morris from the friends of Lordship Rec representing the community interests and of course myself from iBikeRide.

I went down with Shaz this morning to the space proposed for the new Dirt and MTB Trials Bike track in Lordship Recreation Ground in North London. The excitment woke me up at 6.00 am and for once I was 30 minutes early!

The 2009 race season seems a distant spec on the horizon, yet there are events that are sneaking up and we’ll be racing again before we know it. As I get out and work the cobwebs out of my legs there are races popping up everywhere.

Working in the cycling industry has its perks. As the PR Marketing Coordinator at Norco, I often take my surroundings for granted. Crankworx is jaw-dropping, interbike is flabbergasting, and VPS-Fest is pure fun; but, there are also little things the are not possible in a traditional work environment. In how many cubicle-cities can employees take their lunch and go dirt jumping.

Today was an early morning. Long before the crack of dawn, I felt my way down the front steps while nursing a coffee for the warmth and caffeine. Both were necessary as it was 5:30AM and my world was covered in a blanket of frost.

With the imminent launch of the new Sony HD head cam which should revolutionise participant filming, I thought I would post this blog to try and sort out the confusion that surrounds headcams. I have been using headcams for years and have produced a number of videos some of which are on this site. If anyone wants information on where to buy, or is just wondering how to start, then ask away and I will try and answer.

Cycling is an extremely diverse sport that that seems to offer an endless array of opportunities. Being so, it is easy to fall victim to tunnel vision and concentrate solely on the next trip,the next summit, the next ride. Every few months or so I am reminded though of the outside world beyond my two wheeled appendage. This past weekend I stepped outside the known to adventure in the blanketed BC mountains.

First, before we get too far in) let me introduce you to myself and the guys who will be helping me. You already know that my cornering and riding style sucks. What you don't yet know is that I am an ex-rugby player (39 and 6`2" ) with a bad back. I started riding after giving up rugby following a slipped disc and operation to remove the disc in 2005. My philosophy has been that if I am turning the pedals there cant be much wrong.

Make like a bird and head south. . . .
The upcoming Norco road trip through California is building momentum. As the trip comes together the anticipation builds for some great riding and hopefully a little bit of warmth. This is a common hope, Darcy Turenne has decided to hop on board and join Ryan and I for the trip.
