New Year new colours - kinda

Post by Steve Hanks » Fri Dec 30, 2016 1:46 pm

Before I get spotted in Blue I thought I'd mention the fact I have been recruited into the new PB Cycles RT MTB race team. Its a new setup for 2017 hoping to establish a permanent MTB race team along side the already established road race team. PB Cycles is of course Paul Butler, whom some of you will know from a coaching / SERYYL perspective.

However, LP, its members and the friends I've made have been far too good to me for me to want to jump ship, so I'm racing next year in select non BC events such as the national Scott MTB Marathon series, and some Southern XC events as second claim for PB RT and remaining first claim with LP in 2017. This gives me an opportunity to fulfil my MTB Sec duties here and still ride with / for LP in the Regional/London/BC events but also to test whether organised Team racing is for me before I decide on that or returning to privateer status in 2018.

So a new year and new opportunities to grow my training stress (ouch) and racing opportunities! Now its time to get the last few beers down my neck on the last weekend of 2016 before regular consumption becomes a frowned-upon nutritional component :D

Many congratulations mate! Very well deserved.

Go for it 100% though I say. What's not to like? Opportunities like this are harder to come by in men's cycling so grab it with both hands. You might not get another chance.
