IT'S TIME....



Well with the warmest February on record for Vancouver, biking season is off to an early start..... and with the excitement of me receiving my new 2010 xc race bike yesterday - a Norco Faze 1. This year I will be racing as
"John Henry Bikes / Norco"

After being destroyed on a ride in Squamish on Saturday by a few of the Team Whistler boys, I got inspired to get myself back in action!! Plus I have a super fun line up of events and races this year, so had better get a head start on getting this body ready! I am going to be working hard to keep this ITB injury under control and actually gain some strength back in the legs this year - I'm pumped!

Quick night ride with Richard last night to test out the new ride. Feels great, rides smooth! Looking forward to making a few tweaks and setup adjustments and getting back out on the trail in about an hour with Ann Yew and giving it a bigger test!
