Up to him/you of course.

So next big race in the calendar is Northern / Midland / Southern championships. Will report back after these events.. should be good. Till then, good luck!

RichHElf Jan 2013 8:31pm, 6 Jan 2013 5,681 posts	RichHElf Well done, Callum! I was 11 seconds slower this year than last but felt much better. It was a really odd race. I scooted up the hills and pegged it on the downhills. I just lost concentration on the flat going into the last lap and lost a couple of places which I couldn't make up again. Top day! Go, the Blue and White Army!
