2 weeks till 24\12!

Morning boys and girls! Been off for a couple of weeks, letting my nose heal ( see last post ) and fitting all the riding i can between a hectic family and work schedule; Ive recently turned self employed so trying to work as much as i can in preperation for the quiet periods...
The weather has been a bit rubbish of late and has certainly been a limiting factor, when i have got out the trails have been greasy rather than muddy, so its done plenty to sharpen my riding if nothing else! I recently had a revelation over my riding style when it comes to riding in the wet - take the direct approach and try and go just as fast as the dry! Seems to work quite well!
Other than that, not too much else has been going on! Working on what kit and final preperation I need for 24\12. I did twenty miles in a little under three hours today, so based on the 7 mile lap from last year, I think my initil goal of four laps/hours before a decent pit stop should be about right. Naturally, the weather may stick its oar in but we'll deal with that as and when.
Ok, time to fix some lunch, here are a couple of pics from this mornings ride:

I'll post up next week with how my plans are going and a decent game plan for 24\12. Till then, ride safe folks.

Jim.
