As you know from my previous ‘Sleepless in the Saddle‘ post I’m back and not only survived, but had a good weekend. so here is how the race went from my point of view. Saturday morning dawned bright and sunny, but my sore throat and cold had developed into full-blown flu-like symptoms, with a raging...
Well, I survived! We’ve just got back from the Sleepless in the Saddle 24 hour mountain bike race in Catton Park, Derbyshire and I think all of the Ystwyth-MTB team members and supporters had a good time. Anna, Morgan and I set off on Friday morning and arrived at the campsite around midday. The sore...
I went on my recent trip to the Isle of Man with high hopes of lots of quality mountain biking. I had heard that there were a couple of purpose built trails in the South Barrule plantation and that someone from Coed y Brenin had been there to consult on the building of these. I...
Well, after a week on the Isle of Man and ne real training I can’t really say that I’m ready for this weekend. I think I have most of the things that I need for Sleepless in the Saddle, and most of my team seem ready so I just hope my fitness doesn’t let me...

It was a lovely peaceful little site in between Llandovery and Llandeilo, on the main road just outside Langadog. It...
I’ve just received some Specialized Trail shorts that I bought online in preparation for Sleepless in The Saddle. I’ve just tried them on and they look fine but it seems as though the inbuilt liner is designed so that you can see it above the outer shorts in true ‘teenager-style pants showing fashion’! I suppose...
The busy week here continues… We’ll tell you more about some of the things we’ve been doing later, but I did manage to squeeze in the weekly Ystwyth MTB club night ride last night and actually remembered to take some photos too. So, for those of you who wonder why we put ourselves through the...
Don’t want to worry anyone (least of all myself), but it is only 38 days to Sleepless in the Saddle 2009. For those who don’t know, it is a 24 hour mountain bike race around Catton Park in Derbyshire and as a I’m a glutton for punishment I’ve signed up to do it. Sounds hardcore,...
