Season Ended


Well there we are, that's it, the season has officially ended. Yesterday was my last race, the TT champs. Sadly for us Air Cameroon went bust (again) and we weren't able to go to the Tour of Cameroon again this year, so the season wound down at yesterday's TT champs. Except for a couple of our guys who are heading off to the Tour du Burkina Faso with a "selection" team.

Having done nothing but boring crits since the Journalist World Champs I was really looking forward to this TT. Sadly I have been sick all week, so that put a bit of a dampener on things.

However come the day I felt fairly good, and even though my HeartRate was sky high and through the roof (I assume because of my being sick) I enjoyed myself and finished a respectable (though far from exceptional) 6th.

And that's it! Iin 2 day's time I'll be landing in good old Virginia USA. As we ride off into the distance and sunset, we look towards next year and what the future holds... with more "big" names is cycling to be announced as "positive" over the next few days, I'm still convinced I can call myself a "cyclist". There's not many of us around...
