Dale Holmes Interview & Olympic BMX Dates
Submitted by Jared on Fri, 08/15/2008 - 9:33amI'm without net access at the moment so as you can probably figure, the updates are scarce. When we arrive in Beijing early next week (we're still in Sydney) I should have net access there and be able to crank out a couple updates from the villiage.
In the mean time you can check out an interview I did with Dale Holmes.

Olympic prep
Submitted by Jared on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 6:57pmJust a quick update,
its been a while since my last one, so I thought i should give a bit of a report.
The last 6 weeks now since the MTB world champs have been all about getting some last minute prep in place for the games. Its been almost 2 years since things got real serious to get to this point, so im starting to get pretty excited about it all.
I have to apologize to anyone who has been trying to get in touch with me and hav'nt been able to. I've just been getting stuck into being in my training bubble and not wanting to be interrupted too much.
Pre Olympic Camp - San Diego
Submitted by Jared on Sun, 07/06/2008 - 10:41amI've been here in San Diego now for a week, been pretty good so far. I'm getting some good training in and riding the Olympic replica track at the US training Center in Chula Vista.
MTB World Champs - Val Di Sole - Italy
Submitted by Jared on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 11:53pmMost of you reading this would know that the MTB World Champs were held in Italy last week. For me it was my 2nd race for the year back on the mountainbike, and with my 1st race back bringing me a world cup win in Fort William Confidence was high!
We had heard reports that the weather was meant to be rainy and cold all week, which is how it was when we arrived on Tuesday, but from Wednesday onwards there was nothing but sunshine and warm (sometimes hot!) weather, which was great.
Atherton Compound
Submitted by Jared on Tue, 06/10/2008 - 7:31pmIm here now at the Athertons place, and i must say it's pretty cool! The weather is nice, and there will be plenty to do to keep me occupied for the week, they have some cool riding to be done in their back yard. There is a kind of 2 man wide, deep/technical/tight track that i would desbribe as half BMX track, half pump track. Its pretty different to anything I've ridden before, so I'm looking forward to getting that dialled, and some trail style dirt jumps as well, then they have their own Gym setup here too.
