Tredz rider selected for team GB

It’s been an excellent fortnight. I had a great birthday going to the Walthomstow Dog racing track (no winners though). I was made somewhat of the local celebrity by my local paper writing about me here and I’ve received a couple of very nice invites. The first was to the BBC sports personality of the year in December, which I thought was pretty cool (no Nic, I don’t need a chaperone). The second was confirmation of selection for the GB team for a training camp and competition in Australia (again Nic, no). Chuffed!

Here is the itinerary they’ve sent me:
- 22nd Jan - Leave UK
- 24th Jan - Arrive Australia - Based Melbourne using Bendigo Track
- 4th Feb - Travel to Sydney
- 6th Feb - Australian Nationals Begin (Dunc Gray Velodrome)
- 11th Feb - Nationals End
- 12th Feb - Riders Day Off
- 13th Feb - Travel to Beijing - familiarization for Olympics
- 15th Feb - Leave Beijing
- 16th Feb - Arrive UK

My winter training still isn't confirmed, but I've got an athlete review with my coach Barney Storey, the head coach Chris Furber and Performance Director Dave Mellor on the 8th November, so I'm guessing I'll find out more there.

The Giant’s going really well. Been for a couple of rides and a session on the rollers but not really ridden much more than that as I'm officially on a 3 week break. Although I’ve got to say it handles descents really well. But I'll update you more once I'm on it everyday.
