The activity looks alot, but it's actually no more than what I normally do. The goals have been structured slightly differently, so that they are more interlinked, and I can kill a few birds with one stone. I was already part way there with some of the goals this year (and last year) so what I've set myself for next year is just continuing the natural progression. Only problem might be too much interlinking could become a house of cards effect - so next year my blog may become just one long BBC2 test card !!
I have added in a fun element to break up the season a little.

Yeah, shame I can only wear one uniform when racing - anyway, I've yet to decide what colours they'll be for next year.

Toks how have you managed to see me racing this year ? I've barely seen you ! Especially as the majority of my races were women-only !!
When you think about it, most women that do competitive cycling are billy no-mates because very few teams have more than a couple of women who race consistently. You might read write-ups on team presentations etc but you'll find that after the first few races in the season the structures have dwindled, and in something like the women's team series alot of the teams are made up of guest riders.
In fact this weekend I'm doing a team event for cyclo cross, and none of us are in the same club.
Women's racing just becomes a case of us just mucking in together all across the SE and beyond, and enjoying the competitive scene. In fact I end up making quite a lot of cycling mates in the process. I don't mind that.
