I feel great at the moment; my body works wonderfully and I don’t have a single injury or niggle. Why is this such a big deal? Well, this time last week I was in the last hour of completing 7ds2. In other words, for the first time since 2006 I’ve been able to ride a 24 hour and come out smiling on the other side. I’m stoked. I feel like an athlete again!
7ds2 was one of the best experiences of my life to date. Naturally it had it’s moments, and a few dark periods, but that as they say is the nature of such a beast. For the most part I loved the ride. Infact I think that is by far my favourite 24 solo experience I’ve had. I think James finally left his mark on me as I seem to have inherited his smile when it comes to the 24.
The ride itself is a gem, and you will be able to read all about it in a future edition of one of the National UK magazines and also catch some of the action thanks to Mark at Resetfilms who came along and recorded everything for your future viewing entertainment. Photography was covered by my mate Frazer Phaze-One so you can be sure that the images will be saweet.
Have to say a MASSIVE thanks to the rest of the crew - Robbie, for all the driving, Matt for tech-support, and Clive for just about everything. Mark and Frazer for chipping in so much despite the stress of doing all the filming and photography (special thanks to Mark for the cheese and ham toastie at the finish - I’ll never be able to find words to describe how good that tasted!) Awesome guys, what a great crew and a wicked weekend. And finally to Zoe, for moral support despite her crazy, hectic work, for putting my diet on track and helping me rebuild my body and my immune system. Couldn’t have done it without you.
OK, what’s next?
