Not Long Now!

Well the count down is finally on, 5 more days until I fly off to the UK to embark on another overseas World Cup racing experience.

It is a slightly shorter trip this year of about 5 weeks which will include 3 World Cup Races and a German National race.

The WC races are; #1 Dalby Forest in the UK, #2 Houffalize in Belgium, and #3 Offenburg In Germany.

These are the selection races that need to be completed in order to hopefully gain selection to the 2010 World Championships which will be held at Mont Sainte Anne, Canada, during the first week of September.

Our group is quite diverse, consisting pretty much of all the Aussies who will be racing WC's. We have banded together for our travel and accommodation arrangements, quite different to previous years where there has been a 'National Team' which no longer exists due to funding cuts.

So hopefully we will be leaving the cooler weather behind and hitting Europe at the onset of Spring and decent weather, although I hear it can still get pretty cold!!!

Stay tuned for more updates!!!

Good luck!

I'll see if I can rustle you up some support while you're in Belgium.

I'm sure Katriens dad and his mtb friend would be keen to come and watch.
