I got a message from Matt late last night to say that one of the riders who have block booked has dropped out of tonights training so I booked in and took their place 🙂
Because of this and the fact that I couldn’t sleep last night I decided not to get up and go to the gym. I also didn’t go into the office this morning as I am also waiting for the hire company to arrange a time to meet me to pick up the toilets, barriers and generator that they were not able to collect yesterday.
I instead started work at 6:30 instead of 7:30 so I have some extra time today in case I need it or if I don’t use it I will finish earlier this afternoon to get ready for training tonight 🙂
My beetroot shots arrived at just after 17:00 so I drank one and then got ready and went to the track and met my friend and his son and gave him all my leftover jump bike bits so that he can build it up with his old hard tail 26″ bits. I also got ready for the training session that started at 18:30 and helped put the gate up.
The training was fun but it was jumping based to I sucked big time as I can’t jump any more. I did win the foot down at the end of the session even though I was clipped in 🙂 so I didn’t suck at everything today 🙂
I was really surprised how fresh I felt after the weekends exertion as I thought that i would have been hurting still but I am not. I guess that the pineapple did the trick 🙂
After the session I packed the gate up and locked the container and headed home as I needed to wash my body armour so that it is ready for gates at Bristol tomorrow. When I got home I also tried to get the sprocket off of the Halo driver but couldn’t so I admitted defeat and bought a new driver from Tredz as they were £20 cheaper that everywhere else! The new driver should be here in 7-10 days so I will hang the Jump bike up out of the way until it arrives. I am hoping that once the new driver arrives the Jump bike will be fully functional so that I can actually ride the bike and learn to jump!
As I am doing gates in the evening I will have a bit of a lie in again in the morning as I am still not tired after training and its already late! I also have to wait for the washing to finish to hang my body armour up on the radiator to get it dry for tomorrow evening.
I got a message from my friend to say that he has built the old jump bike frame up already as he was bored at home 🙂
