International Race Scene Time

Recently I have been in the final planning stages for an international campaign this year.  I am off to Canada!
Like with my European trip last year I will be travelling again with my fellow racing companion Mat Waghorn where we will be competing in four races as follows;

1) Coupe Canada Cup #3
2) Raid De Charleviox
3) UCI World Cup Round 5 (Monte Saint Anne)
4) UCI World Cup Round 6 (Windham, U.S.A)

Also a new person to jump on board  is Marleen Wholesalers supplying me with Maxxis Tyres.  Since I have had the 29er wheels I have tried numerous amounts of different tyres and brands but I have ended up coming back onto the Maxxis brand in particular riding with the Aspen tyres.  With racing on the mountain bike you can't go past good rubber so knowing I have a brand on that I have full faith in just adds another tick in the boxes for having that complete race package!

So quite an exciting time for me at the moment.  The last few weeks have flown by and it's only another few days before I'll be packing the bike up and getting everything ready to jump on the big bird!

Big thanks to Cycleways for sorting my Trek Superfly race bike out to get it in immaculate condition.  Lots of final adjustments to be done so the support I get from Matt and the team is superb!

Keep an eye out on my blog as I will be updating this after each race!
