Winter brings - new team mates, curry, lager and turbo training....

Now winter is well and truly here the various members of Team Salesengine are hibernating away on their turbo trainers and putting in the graft miles on the road ready for 2012.

Since the racing stopped we've added three new riders to our roster in the form of Hugo and Stuart Hocknell and Roy Robinson.

Hugo comes into the team as the man with the fastest PB in his palmares, so it would seem that Rik and Sam won't be having things all their own way next season.

Roy and Stuart may not be quite as fast as Hugo, but the team is about people enjoying their racing regardless of the level they do it at, and it'll be great to see how the new boys do in the New Year. As long as the season can bring PB's then all will be happy.

Meanwhile, December the 9th was the latest team curry in Potton. Whilst we didn't quite manage a full-house due to work commitments for some and Christmas parties for others we did get a good turn-out and had a good laugh.

With the inaugural Team Salesengine 10 now only four months away (April 7th at 14:00!) on the rapid new Brogborough F1510 course ideas were flowing as fast as the lager as to how to make the event a bit different from the norm and enjoyable for all who enter. Pleased to say the idea of starting at the bottom of the hill and making the riders finish at the top was rejected....

Some of the braver ( or more foolish?) riders in the team are now only 2 months from being on the startline of their first event of 2012...so happy training to all.
