Race weekend recap ! A very hot and sweaty one indeed…. Seeding stage crash left me a lot of work to do on race day, 9th place at the start of the day and then another crash on stage one had me questioning my choices 🤣 Hard reset needed and started to gather some momentum… managed to get some good solid stages in and claw back a 4th place finish! Kudos to all who made it round in the heat and a massive shout out to Scott and his crew at for putting on another great weekend! Gutted to have missed out on a podium but their was plenty of silverware bagged by some of the Forest locals 👊🏻👊🏻

What a weekend at the first round of the and The Golfie serving up finest as usual, the sun shone, the company was amazing and trails endless ! Not my best performance but a solid 9th in a loaded grand vet category will have to do 😂 3 small crashes and a bit of traffic didn’t help haha onwards and upwards 💪🏻. Massive thanks go to the marshals and organisers and of course to the people who help me do this 😊.

BIG NEWS!!!
Epicentre cycleworks is closing........
It’s not all bad news though, as one door shuts another opens, Ace Bicycles to be exact!
I am pleased to announce that I will be the workshop manager in The Monmouth store when it opens.
I’d like to thank all my customers for their continued support over the last couple of years and hope they will come into the new store when it opens!
