2007 has been a quiet year. I won a couple of races early season, but, did little racing after April.
The last race of the season is the national hill climb championship. This year it was held at Cheddar's gorge in Somerset. I finished 7th in a time of 7.14. The race was won by James Dobbin Arctic Shorter RT, 6.51

Making a comeback after injury Ed Silverton of Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team competed in the Oxonian CC cyclo cross event on 30th September.
A torrential downpour for the first 30 minutes of the race caused the track to become extremely muddy.
