And so the training for the 2012 Cycle Slam starts.  We have two new riders joining us this year – Ian Hackeson and Eamonn Finnerty.

The first part of the training for the new guys was to go to Ian Browns and hand over their months wages in return for an extremely fragile and unfeasibly uncomfortable bike and dubious apparell.

Once over the shock of the cost Ian proceeds to fall off his bike outside Ray’s house on his first ride much to the amusement of a large gang of builders – confidence now sky high!!

Anyway onwards and upwards. Nothing can possibly go wrong now….
