2008 season round up

As the season is now over i've turned my attentions to getting fit and what the 2009 season will bring.

Before i turn my attentions to next year i thought i'd just reflect on the season that has just gone.

2008 brought its fair share of ups and downs, and it all started at Anglesey, where it was the first time i'd ever been to a track and not actually seen it before! So as i came out of pit lane i had to wait to try and follow someone because i didn't have a clue of the layout of the track.

I did learn a lot in ''08 though, i learnt how fast you can go in the wet and it proved to be a strong point for me, i had my best results in the wet and also my first off...

To be honest i was really pleased with this season, i won my first trophy's and even had my 2 seconds of fame on Motors tv!

I'm certain i will win more silverware in 2009 and hope to get even more tv coverage as i'm planning on competing with Thundersport GB which will be televised on Motors tv.

Further Injury woes

After seeing the specialist (after a 2 month wait) it looks like i'll be having another operation.

As you can see on the x-ray my shoulder isn't looking too great so i'll need an operation to re-join my collar bone and shoulder, and i've been told the surgeon will be taking a section of tendon out of my forearm and using it in my shoulder.

So when it looked like i was just getting over my finger my shoulder is going under the knife.

I'll have my arm in a sling for 6 weeks then a further 4 weeks before i can do any heavy lifting.

Hopefully i can have the operation before Christmas and then hopefully be fit for the start of the season...

here's hoping..

Injury Update

After a 20 minute operation and 5 pins and a plate in my finger and several stitches i'm sat here thinking when will i ever be able to get back on a bike?

I've been told a further 4-6 weeks for recovery on my finger but i'm going to the hospital again to a specialist about my shoulder.

So i may need further treatment or surgery on my shoulder.

Here's hoping it will all be sorted soon and i can get back on my bike and at least do some testing and get on the pace.
