First off heres a quick review of my year:

Febuary.
Rebuilt my body and bikes after the Strathpuffer.

Went to America - shot a gun, visited Disney, drank lots of Coors and ate at 'Chillies' a lot. Definitely no riding.
May
British 24hr champs. Pulled out due to going to America, shooting guns, visiting disney, drinking Coors, eating lots of fast food and being Lame. MTFU.

October
Entered Dusk till Dawn 12hr.Drove from Cardiff to Thetford, raced for 5 hours in the rain, hurt my back pulled out then drove back to Wales, bought a McDonalds breakfast all before the event had finished.Put my bikes away for a while.
November
Started training for the Strathpuffer.
Raced Brass Monkey round 1 and finished 13.

That's about it! (I did other races, and lots of riding, but for me 2011 was a great year!). I need to say a huge thank-you to my girlfriend for supporting throughout the year, looking after the boys when I'm not there, and being the best team mate i could ever ask for. Thankyou!!
