Slack week

Had a really slack week this week as I have been sorting out our new house and also my son is ill so I can't take him to the track.

It might be a good thing as we have a busy couple of weeks ahead with 2 races in 2 weeks. I am also training on the Saturday at each track as well as racing on the Sunday.

This weekend I will be racing on my first 5m start hill which I am really excited about. The track is the first track I raced on last year so it will be good to see how much better I have become over the past year or so.

This week I have been riding my Sunday model C to and from work and I have got used to it a bit now. I am really liking it. It still feels really high compared to my race bike but it is really bouncy and fun. I jumped a small stair set on my way home tonight and you don't even feel like you have dropped from a height. I was also doing mollies and manuals and it feels really good.

The only problem I have with the bike is that the back wheel keeps slipping forwards which is a pain in the arse as the chain makes loads of noise and also the wheel keeps running all the time.

I am going to fit a set of chin tensioners tonight to solve this problem so by tomorrow it should be sorted.
