For Our Larger Readers....
Who says Christmas is over? If any of you clydesdale teammates fancy a late pressie then I have a spare pair of VeloCake shorts in extra large.
They are wonderful shorts with Endura's top of the range chamois, perfect for all those 24 hour races you're planning. Not only are they some of the comfiest shorts around but some of the best looking too!
Make me an offer, you know you want to.
Here's Nick Wallis modelling the latest in lycra.

Endings and Beginnings
Well it's been a bit quiet around here lately hasn't it. It is with good reason, I haven't forgotten about our site here. I'm being time efficient, that's all. Many things in one post.
So first off, the cross team's season has just about drawn to an end, I don't think anyone has entered the nationals this weekend without saying anything have they?
In the Southwest, John and myself have had our best season yet, he was 5th overall in the vets league and I finished 9th in the seniors. Young Benji Pearson was 20th in the under 10s (although he only did one race)
Photographs from the last round here. Snapper chicks photos
Up North, we've been competing on two fronts, the NWCCA and the Yorkshire points league.
Amy, Piers and Steve have all raced in the North West. Amy has also raced in Yorkshire and won a round of the Southwest league. Whilst in Yorkshire Tim, Oli and Tom all kept the flag flying over the other side of the penines in darkest Yorkshire.
One of the seasons highlights has to be Todcross, someone who was there will be writing something about that I'm sure.
The biggest news from Tomorden is that we did have a win! In the under 8's.
Well done Toby Kershaw, here's hoping you can sustain that kind of form for another 15-20 years or so.
Here's a link to the BC site report.. Todcross
If you're a footie fan or nowadays a roadie, you'll be aware of the January transfers.
Now we're not Sky or BMC and we won't be signing Cav or Gilbert and last time I spoke to Sven and Zdenek, they're tied up in contracts 'till next year, but (insert pause or gasp) through one means or another we have managed to add a few new signings to the 'Cake .
Excited? I am. Here's to 2012, VeloCakePro, eh Grant.

Aborted Audax leads to Cyclo-Cross fun

It was muddy, slushy and a tiny bit icy and lots of fun. I rode round somewhere near the back of the field and realised I am rubbish at riding in mud.
Hope you all managed some muddy fun.

Mud
modder boue schlamm fango lama blato dynd
MUD.
Saturday night was round 10 of the SWCX in Taunton.
Around a football pitch.
A flat football pitch.
Who cared, it was dark and there was MUD!
All the races so far this year have been pretty much bone dry; no wet, no mud. I've been crying out for some real cross conditions rather, than a grass criterium. Finally we had it.
The mud in the corners was like riding on lard; slippy and slidey. Don't touch the brakes; far too greasy. Pedalling out of the corners sideways like a speedway star. Wonderful stuff.
On the straights, it was a mixture of fudge and porridge, back wheels squirming in every direction. Front wheels doing the same. Just keep pedalling, ride though it.
A great race, hopefully next weeks league finale in Plymouth will be a complete filth fest too.
John was 12th, I was 17th (but I am poorly!).
