I suppose I should probably update you all on how my racing season is going, shouldn't I? We're pretty much halfway through the season and I've lost count of how many races I've done, both locally and in the UK. So far the road season has been a steep, and exhausting learning curve for me. I'll start with the positives, which so far have been my timetrials. Like last year, I've PBd pretty much every time and managed to get my time down to a 25.22 (my first 10 mile TT was around a 29 last year on a similar course) - my hope is to at least manage a short 25 or even (in a perfect world!) a 24 by the end of the year.

Next month I will only be racing locally so I'll finally have plenty of time to relax and talk about all things bi-wheeled. Speaking of which this leads me nicely on to the topic of this weeks post... Some of you may or may not be aware that we have just come to the end of the 2014 Isle of Man TT races here. This time of year is special for us Manxies, as the Island comes to life with the smell o...
