Great to take the plunge and race a National XC again after a 4 year break. Great to catch up with others now to get fitter for the next race.

So cool to see Fazil @ racearoundrwanda.com/movie. Fazil races on an old Kinesis road bike @Spratinator donated to him 2 years ago. In February he was one of the first finishers of Race Around Rwanda, a 1000km gravel race, riding the rough roads on standard road tyres.

Carrying only one spare inner tube he punctured 4 times at night but carried on after fixing each one. @Spratinator was so impressed by his ride that he commissioned me to make Fazil a trophy. I can’t wait to meet him but in the meantime It was good to watch him - no.71

La Grave, 2 miles above sea level, the water is frozen in retreating glaciers, today we road in their wake.

Appenninica MTB stage race more than lived up to expectations. My blog about the event is up on @xcracercom . If you are looking for a new exciting stage race then I highly recommend it. xcracer.com/appenninica-mtb-… @sophhemming

The race around Rwanda is looking like one of our adventures early next year

My second XC race this year so bit of a shock to the body, but otherwise the final round of the @midlands_xc was fun with punchy climbs and droopy single track. @CyclopaediaShop @cardiffjif

The final round of the 2919 @midlands_xc was a fun course. As well as the trophies for the day I also made the overall series trophies for top three in each cat. It’s been a great project to work on

The Team behind #appenninicamtb, they have created a very special race

Racing #appenninicamtb stage race with @sophhemming has been epic, the climbs are tough but the descents and views have more than made up for them.
