On Saturday night, 11th July, the 2015 Schwalbe 4X National Championships are taking place at Moelfre in North Wales. After a tough year so far, I am ready to defend the title that I won in 2014.

The track in Moelfre is a step back to a traditional old school track. Grass turns, rough ground and a natural look and feel will certainly spice things up. For me, a natural track suits my style and I am looking forward to racing.

My Yeti DJ is perfect for these conditions. No flex in the frame will allow me to attack the track hard and get the most from it.

Full details on the race are on the British 4X website: http://www.british4x.com/news/national-champs-2015/

So for now, it’s back to training and hopefully I will see some of you there on Saturday night.
