So, this is a first for me. This blog is being written and posted above the Atlantic Ocean as I set off on my journey to the United States of America. There are a lot of unknowns with this being my first season in cycling.
I wanted to take this time to welcome you to my new website. I’ve taken this opportunity to give my page a new look and also whilst doing so I wanted to give you all an insight into what lies ahead for me in the near future.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but I’m without doubt excited. Excited to grasp this fantastic opportunity. Emotions are running high. After an extremely difficult goodbye this morning I am well on my way to America. My route: Isle of Man > Dublin > Chicago > Atlanta.
I will be based in Atlanta, racing predominantly in the USA. For those of you unaware I will be riding for Team Novo Nordisk Development Squad. An all-Diabetes cycling team with the goal to “Inspire, Educate and Empower” those affected by Diabetes.
Being my first season cycle racing I will be thrown in at the deep end. My first race is Saturday!
What To Expect
I have a blog update that will finish off the end of my 2015 season, highlighting the National Club Relay Championships and Bala Triathlon, which I shall post over the coming week. Following that I aim to keep bi-weekly updates through my first season of racing bikes.
