So happy new year and all that. It's the new year, and with that, why not a new post from a new rider? So, hello, I'm James.

2012 has just begun, and in around 2 weeks the pros will be starting their first race. My first race on the other hand is in March but 'proper' training starts NOW. So far it's not gone well, I'm not going to lie, the festive period was tiring, but, now it's over it's time to knuckle down.

I've started this off with a leg shave. Without trying to sound to poetical, it feels like I'm getting rid of the off-season, no more drinking, no more staying up late and no more maccy d's. It's racing time soon, and I need to get in the right frame of mind so I can get in the right state of physical prowess, like a tiger.

Shaving always brings up one problem, just how high do you go?

My nipples are very sensitive.

James
