Hiya all who read,
i travelled to Bournemouth to set up Alansbmx.com/shimano dxr team area and unfortunately it got rained off. The first national since 1985!! It was damn wet on Sunday and Monday and i felt really sorry for the organisers. At least the Saturday night flat pedal racing got the spirits up with the elite guys proving there just as quick on clipless pedals.
Here's a pic of Charlotte Green (Alans team rider) summing up how we all felt on the day..
adios and talk soon Mike

Hi all,
iam back from the Emerald Isle and what a cracking trip it was, the surf was happening. Not perfect but (for those of you that surf)thats the way it goes and you make the best of it!! As Billabong says only a surfer knows the feeling..
I spent many years surfing around Donegal and it was great to hit Tullaghan right and the peak again with old mates. Wont be long and iam there again. Thanks to Powersource surfboards www.powersourcesurfboards.com and Neil Britton at www.donegalsurfing.com for there help during my stay..If you need a board or lessons while in Ireland these are the people to talk to..
I also met my old friend Ciaran Ferguson, i worked with the "BUCK" on Bundoran and Rossnowlagh beaches, lifeguarding in 1994/95.
Ciaran now flys the Irish rescue chopper!! Not bad for someone that used to tell me he wanted to be a pilot 10 years ago!!
He gave me a look around, check pics.
Myself and the Alansbmx.com/shimano dxr team will be in Bournemouth this weekend racing the next round of the british championship series. its a double header so the racing is Sunday and Monday with practice on Saturday. If your about call into the team set up and say hello.
speak soon Mike

Hiya well just a quick report iam in Ireland doing some training (surfing.) The weather has turned distinctly wintery here. The surf was a nice 3-4ft on the Thursday, its now blowing a gale westerely force 10 with sea conditions in the 10ft plus mark..I may go to Co- Sligo and check the Easky area which can be sheltered in these sea/wind conditions.
I met up with my old sponsor www.powersourcesurfboards.com
Mark Mc Guire the owner and surfboard shaper supreme has moved premises and has a vast selection of boards. Check pics. If you ever need a board, advice,or a chat with someone who knows the area give Mark a call or email him through the website.
