Oli at the BMC Swiss Cup

In order to prepare for the upcoming important races, the 4th Round of the World Cup and 3rd National Race, I felt I needed a kick up the arse so headed off on a 5 day road trip for some hard training and a
top level race.

Oli @ National series 2 and in the press
Hello
Last weekend I took part in Round 2 of the National MTB series at the previous world cup venue at Dalby North Yorshire. This round, like the first race was a category 1 UCI race (the world governing body) so as well as all the British guys, ten foreign riders had made the trip over on the hunt for ranking points and prizes.
Oli at the World Cup and in the press
Hello
It took a little while, but after 8 months out of the game I finally made it back to the start line of a World Cup race.
The second round in the series took place in Houfalize in Belgium, it is the classic MTB venue having hosted 19 world cup rounds since 1989. The course used to be a hilly epic but with shortened lap and race times enforced by the UCI (the governing body) the race is now an intense, technical affair based on one steep hill side. So great for spectators but not so good for skinny dudes like me who like big long climbs!
