Well, I've back a while now and it's been pretty busy with all sorts of things. It's all been fun but it time to get on with the bike riding again.

My project now is to establish a para-cycling "athletes" hour record. that's the one with no aero aids, just a traditional bike with spoked wheels and drops etc. I've got most things in place with help from Specialized, terry Dolan, Dave Mellor Cycles and of course, the indispensible Gary Brickley (Brighton Uni) but unfortunately I'm struggling to find a main sponsor to cover other costs.

Any business.wanting to help can contact me through the comments bit on the site.
My last hour record ( on a pursuit bike ) gained a lot of coverage so I'm hoping for the same, or more, this time. It's not just about doing something for me , it's also about trying to raise the profile of para-cycling in general and that's why we are planning to do it at the world cup in Beijing (still waiting for the go ahead from the organisers).

Lastly a big thanks to everyone who supported me this year. It meant a lot to get all the messages while I was competing and after.

Merry Christmas
Darren
