Signed up for first Race!

I signed up for my first race last night although I haven't been able to train as much as I would have liked due to my ankle being crap!

On a positive note I uses the week off to get my bike dialled in and it is feeling much better now.

I trained this morning for an hour and a half and was focussing on trying to manual the tabletop which I did a few times so I am pretty pleased. I am definitely getting faster and I am getting out of shape much more due to getting to the jumps faster.

The other things I discovered last week is MucOff which pared with my new Lidls hose pipe and spray gun connector makes cleaning the bike really easy and fast. I cant believe that I struggled for so many years so that I didnt spend an extra £10 a month!

It is sooo easy! You basically rinse off the worst of the mud and get the bike really wet and then spray it with MucOff. Wait 5 minutes and rinse the bike off again.

With the mucoff you se 

Here are a few pictures of the bike after it has been cleaned.

I forgot to say that a couple of weeks ago I swapped out the pedals for Answer MPH Senior Pedals (http://www.crucialbmxshop.com/answer-mph-senior-pedals.html) and a super light weight saddle I bought a Box Echelon Large Seat that came with a carbon fibre short seat post (http://www.crucialbmxshop.com/box-echelon-race-saddles-large.html) it is also surprisingly comfortable and really light!! 

I also left it at Crucial BMX in Bristol and they gave it a once over, straightened the back wheel and also put on new chain ring bolts as the old ones were not gripping any more.

There is nothing that needs doing to the bike now I just need to learn to ride it!
