Goals
I aim to improve my road racing for the 2010 season and win some early 3rd cat races. I also would like to aim and get my 1st/2nd class license. Riding in the regional and national road races would be good experience and as an excellent climber I think I can compete with some of the top riders. I would like to compete and gain experience in a few premier calendars later in the year and possibly the national road race championships.
Place well in the BTTC and national time trial championships and pick up some new PB’s and wins in domestic time trials. I aim to win the Lakes and Lancs SPOCO league and win the University 10 mile TT championships.

Overall enjoy racing and riding with and for a top team of great riders.
