Now that the weather has closed in and it's not so much fun out there on the road, Richie is now participating in some MTB events!
I must be mad because this really is not my bag. I've had my arm twisted by my good friend and cycle services colleague Kelvin Norton. He is good on a MTB and he's raced before, so I'm learning the ropes from him.
We recently completed a 47km MTB Sportive where we came around 70th out of 300 finishers, not bad for first attempt.
On the 28th November I'll be riding a 2hr endurance race in the 'Veteran Male' catergory of the Merida Brass Monkeys www.meridabrassmonkeys.com
It won't be easy, these events attract a lot of very good capable riders. Am I one of them, not entirely sure, but as always I'll have a go!
Don't worry all my 'Roadie' friends, I am NOT converted and never will be, this is just a way of getting my cycling drug in the winter months.
See you all soon.
