Since my last update not a lot has been going on really. It is winter after all! I have been to another Cycling Ireland u23 Development Camp in Blessington, Co Wicklow on the 5th & 6th of December. The camp was run by Paddy Doran and Frank O'Leary and I did find it very beneficial. It consisted of a short run and gym session in Winning Solutions on the Saturday morning followed up by some nutrition talks and a short bike ride to the Avon Ri, in Blessington where we were staying, in the afternoon. That night after some very nicely prepared food from Mick Lawless we sat infront of Paddy Moriarty (Ex-Irish International) and Neil Martin (Father of Dan Martin) for some presentations and talks about their experiences in cycling which was interesting to hear. On the Sunday we hit the road early in harsh conditions for 3 hours. All in all, a great weekend! Thanks to all involved.
In the past few weeks I've also had a feature in the local newspaper in which I am happy about: not much to say about this but here's a picture!
As for 2012 I can now say, I will continue riding for ASFRA Racing Team (Flanders). I'll be definitely going back to Belgium sometime in the months of June\July after I finish my exams to torture myself some more and chase after my dream. Super excited! I am under no illusions for next year and I am sure there will be plenty of blood, sweat and tears shed. So, now its time to go looking for sponsorship to help fund me while I am in Belgium. All help is appreciated and if anyone is interested in helping me out all you gotta do I give me a shout. You will find my contact details on this blog.
That is it, I'll stop typing. Really wish I had more to talk about but unfortunately I don't for now. But 2012 is going to be big, so stay tuned for more news and fun!
