Australia, NRS, Adelaide living.

Right it's been a long time since my last update and a lot has happened. So here are a few things and a bit of info about what I've been up to. Listing them is easier then writing out a long and boring blog. So here it is.

I have been living in Adelaide near the seaside town of Glenelg which has been great. The Northey family has been great to me and really looked after me well in between NRS tours.

I have been racing in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, and just got back from the latest NRS round in Murwillumbah. I managed to win the last stage in Battle of the border so that was great after having pretty average first few stages. I also took out a Queensland road series race held 2 weeks ago so the form is good heading into my last NRS race for a while which is in Toowoomba starting Thursday.

Other non-cycling activities in Adelaide include going to the Adelaide motorsport festival, wine tasting in the Barossa valley and the Mclaren Vale. Catching up with my Uncle and cousin who were down in Adelaide for a Go-Karting event, going to Victor harbour and the Wildlife park there, exploring the Adelaide Markets, and swimming off the wharf in Glenelg.

The NRS racing has been really good and competitive and looking forward to Tour of Toowoomba starting on Thursday. After the tour I head back to NZ for a few weeks before heading back over to Belgium.

Will update more and more regularly later and will add some photos.

Cheers

U23 National time trial champ!

Have just returned from Christchurch where I won the U23 national champs time trial. Was a goal of mine and worked closely with my new coach Jeremy Vennell to achieve it! So has been a good start to 2014.

Next up is the NZ cycle classic down in Manawatu. It is a UCI tour so looking forward to some tough racing again. I'm in the 'National team' with Tom Scully, James Oram, Hayden McCormick, Sam Friend and myself. Looking forward to a good hard week of racing and catching up with the boys.

From there I still have no set plans about the season.. work in progress.
