Two posts in one day....... :O
This is just a a post to say thank you to the people who are supporting me this season. A few businesses have offered to help me out financially in one way or another and for this i am very greatful.
Whitby seafoods - http://www.whitby-seafoods.com/ - Produces of the best Scampi out there. - 01947 606101
Caley fisheries of North Sheilds
Spec clean ltd - Scarborough - 01947 604653
Gordons Building contractors Whitby - 01947 605866
These companies have all donated money to help me get a bike sorted for the season and so i cant thank them enough. Racing with out a bike wouldnt have been easy.
Also cheers mum and dad for your help/support and the lift to France (bless me) :-)
if anyone else reading this is interested in giving me a helping hand or knows of any businesses that may be willing. Please dont hesitate to contact me - saleadley@live.co.uk.

Damn, i cant stop waking up early!!!!!!!
After 6 months of my alarm going off at 4.45 am and dragging my arse down stairs to force down Obscene quantaties of caffiene and porridge oats to get me through the day, my body clock is stuck where i dont want it to be. Will i ever get back to normal ????
Iworked out whilst i was stood in the factory during my final days of work that i have lost around 220 hours of sleep this winter and stood on my feet for around 800 more hours than i would have liked. As well as spending many more hours in my garage staring into oblivion than i would recomend to anyone.. I am also aware how sad i am to have worked these things out.
But, it turns out for the time been i am a full time bike rider, which i must say after only 3 days, it is so much easier!! fitting training around working full time is a killer and for those who do it all year round, as well as having families etc, i dont know how you manage. To be i honest i cracked big time last week!!!!!
I SALUTE YOU!!!
This training/rsting/eating/training/sleeping is the business. Since Friday i have only stood on my feet to go downs stairs and too the garage for my bike.
Anyway, the Ferry is booked, yes booked, we are going to France,my parents are driving me over on the 21st february and i cant wait for the season to begin now. Speaking of which my first race is looking like it will be at Croft motor racing circuit on 20th Feb, weather dependant.......... Im going to miss that place this summer, what ever will i do with my Tuesday nights???????
This will be followed by an interclub race, my first in France on 27th Feb - Plaintel-Plaintel. The day afte my 21st birthday............ So im not exactly going to be celebrating my 21st in the 'traditional way'. Then the 'real' racing beggins in March
The snow has made an unwelcome return to the North east this week as well, couldnt believe it when i woke up on saturday to this ......
I very nearly booked a flight to Spain but then thought about how hungry i would be with no money in August ...... no flight to Spain then!! Althought to be fair the main roads have been fine and the suns been out so all is good and its much better than training in the dull wet weather we usually have.
Anyone watch the Tour down Under last week???? Was good to have some racing on the T.V again. A bit of inspiration and all that. Not sure im a fan of Sky and to be honest and im not to convinced that wiggins can win the Tour, be up there ? possibly, Win? No
Personally, im Fan of the Schelck brothers and think Andy may have what it takes this year.
So there you are, things are taking shape nicelyfor the season, a not too shabby winter in the legs, bit more higher end work in the coming weeks should turn these winter legs into ripped racing legs ;-)
I leave you with...... a pic of my bike - minus tyres, cassette, chain and pedals and with the handlebars in a stange position
