Hi
I am very happy to be with the winningest team for 2009.
I hope I can help the team win again!
Busy month in February. Had 10 days winter training in Mallorca
with my trainer Lisa. A change to see the sun after snowy England!
Last weekend, I went up to see Alan and he presented me with my
2009 bike. Brilliant! I tested it along the corridors in the De Vere
Hotel that evening, where I picked up my National Series Award at
the Bolton Wanderers Reebok Stadium. Hope my practice starts
against the walls didn’t leave any tyre marks!
Got up early on Sunday…to go straight to Manchester BMX track
where I rode my Avent for the first time. Fantastic! Just brilliant!
Can’t wait for the National season to start. You can catch latest updates
at
www.isabelleferrada.com or
www.girlracer.co.uk(just put ‘Isabelle’ in the Search box in the corner) or of course on this
AlansBMX Racing blog.
Thanks Alan for having me!
Charlotte's Winter Training
Training with the talent team has been cold wet but fun this winter. Charlotte has been on the Marin and Penmachno trails in the snow before Christmas and just completed a week in and around Manchester which included a visit to the Works and the Fairfield North regional riding 16 boys and getting a 3rd in the final. We have also been to the Newport velodrome for a 3hr training session, different but very enjoyable.
Charlotte has been training hard for the coming season consisting of spin sessions, gym (including rowing machines), flat and downhill sprints, 30 mile road-rides and flatland skills.
In January we visited Belgium to take part in the Belgium National where Charlotte was placed 5th on the Saturday and 3rd on the Sunday. Promising results that Charlotte was very pleased with. We are now looking forward to the new season and really cant wait for a bit of warm sun the camping and getting reacquainted with the team.
Great to hear that Warren is back and on his bike and a warm welcome to Izzy.
This seasons Kit looks fantastic and once again huge thanks to Alan for putting together the bikes and equipment we will be using this year.
We can't wait to see you all again.

Me and Mark made the pilgrimage down to Milton Keynes for Madison's annual tradeshow, here's a few pics I took.
Our team shirt and trophy proudly on display in the Shimano tent.
2009 Thor gear.
Bell Drop helmet, our BMX team will be using these this year, as the none-colour-blind amongst you will have noted, it matches our Thor gear.
Giro now make gloves. When I first saw these on the web I thought they looked good and even tried to order a pair for myself but they weren't in stock yet. So I had to check them out when they had them on display. Anyway, although there are a few models these two, the Xen and Remedy stood out. The Remedy (black/whitee) uses D30 padding while the Xen (orange/white) is a little more lightweight and I am not kidding you, this is the most comfortable gloves I have ever worn and I've been wearing MX gloves since 1976 (like
these). These are expected later this month (March), check them out.
