Valentines Dinner & Beyond

Well firstly we would like to thank all who came to the Marine hotel on Saturday 12th for what was a fantastic night. The food was great, the music (from Aber-Jazz) was uplifting and your generosity was overwhelming. Good times were had by all and it was great seeing some of you, and catching up. The Prize draw went swimmingly, albeit a little embarrassing as the majority of the winners weren't at the night (most of which were hospital employees)

A week on an we've now met with Shelley & Brodie at Continental. They have very kindly kitted us out "top to toe" in Continental kit. Our bikes are now running on fresh Continental Sports Contact 26x1.3s, one of , if not the best commuter/slick Mtb tyre on the market. My last pair managed over 6000 miles without a single puncture. The Conti Sports contact even comes with a 1 year "anti puncture guarantee," a nice bit of piece of mind when going the 320 miles from Lowestoft back to Aberystwyth.

Our trainings ramping up slightly now. I'm completing over 100 miles a week where possible (this weeks a rest week - thank god) and Sylvia is completing longer and higher effort Turbo sessions. Thanks to the guys at Conti her Turbo training will become quieter and more effective as she now has a fresh Conti home trainer tyre 26x1.75 fitted to her specialized.

The Time trial season is fast approaching and I have some challenges ahead. More of this to follow. :)
