Andrew Bye: June 2008

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 25 June 2008. Me not looking too comfortable! Another weekend racing, this time in Aberveganny for the GP of Wales. Not sure my first experience in a travelodge will tempt me back. at least it wasn't too expensive at 50 quid. The Fonz (Russell Downing) again seems head and shoulders above the rest winning again for the umpteenth time this season. Very Impressive! At least he looks like he's trying this time :). Saturday, 21 June 2008. First race in a little while. A good workout, although did ...

Andrew Bye: August 2008

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Monday, 4 August 2008. Well Sunday didn't really go to plan for me as a rear wheel puncture only 30 minutes into the race scuppered my hopes of a good ride. A combination of the course and the racing made it too hard to recover any good feeling in my legs and so after 60 miles, knowing that two team mates up the road in breaks (Rob and Matt) and me being unable to do much more than cling to the last wheel in the main group I sat up and let the wheel go in order to end the suffering. Friday, 1 August 2008.

Andrew Bye: April 2008

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 29 April 2008. Been a little quiet recently. Another pretty frustrating weekends racing not only for me but for the rest of my sigma team mates I imagine as well. Just about everyone else in the Sigma team had their chances scuppered by untimely punctures, this wasn't helped much with the team car being drawn last in the convoy. Pretty pissed off as fitness had actually felt pretty good going into it. Sunday, 13 April 2008. Good weekend for Sigma. Antelope RT 3 up TTT. Today at the Thames Velo r...

Andrew Bye: Not much to update with

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2009/04/not-much-to-update-with.html

Wednesday, 22 April 2009. Not much to update with. Been another few months with little postive to report with regards to cycling for me unfortunately. Came back from my Majorcan training camp with a niggly knee injury that has persisted and left me stretching more often than cycling. Although I have raced a few times I haven't really ever felt at 100%. So far season reads:. Training camps: Really flying! Not what I had wanted not enough shelter to hide behind! Not exactly sure what happened. Not exactly ...

Andrew Bye: July 2008

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Monday, 21 July 2008. Spills and Summit Finishes. Yesterday "le Tour" headed into Italy and over some pretty slippery dangerous roads. Oscar Pereiro crashed over a barrier on the descent of col Agnel and suffered a broken arm. Dennis Menchov crashed out on a corner going uphill whilst attacking for the yellow jersey. Cadel Evans grimaces and he is obviously suffering on the final climb of the day to the Italian resort of Prato Nevoso and he loses narrowly loses yellow. This left just 5 in the break (with...

Andrew Bye: 2009

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2009/01/2009.html

Sunday, 11 January 2009. First post in a very long time! Had been feeling pretty down about cycling after spending September through to December with my chronic hip injury not really improving, as everytime I tried to up my training I would be punished with my body breaking down and putting me in pain. Finally had a bit of a breakthrough around xmas, helped by a visit to Sigmsport for a bikefitting. Last couple of weeks have been really cold, but forecast for the next week looks a little milder albeit pr...

Andrew Bye: 1st of June

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2009/06/1st-of-june.html

Monday, 1 June 2009. Yesterday rode the SE champs on the tenterdon circuit. A race that I would really like to win one day. Sadly yesterday was never gonna be that day! In the past two months since the Girvan I have only done one race (the Lincoln GP - which I didn't finish) and haven't done any long 0r hard training sessions. Was pretty wasted by the time I eventually crossed the line, took me more than 30 minutes to cycle back to the HQ at which time the medals had already been given out. Taking some p...

Andrew Bye: January 2009

Sunday, 25 January 2009. Weekend in the country. Just back from a thoroughly enjoyable weekend staying with fellow Wheeler Stewie Martin at his new house in the country. Next weekend and North Wales, praying for improvement in the weather, although regardless reckon it'll be a good laugh and looking forward to seeing the rest of the team again. Sunday, 11 January 2009. First post in a very long time! Finally had a bit of a breakthrough around xmas, helped by a visit to Sigmsport for a bikefitting. Got so...

Andrew Bye: Last race on sunday.

http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-race-on-sunday.html

Friday, 1 August 2008. Last race on sunday. Just had a very lazy week for me training wise. Didn't touch the bike at all last weekend! The Slippery Hobbit is so named because he was able to get that low on his bike it was hard to see him let alone get any draft from him. Everytime he went through to the front it was like someone had given him a handsling up the road, whooosh and he was off. I met a reader of the blog in Toks, (yep I found another one in addition to my mum which is exciting news for me!
