Matt Page (Voltage) - A Season Review!
It seems like such a long time ago that I was planning my 2008 season and now here I am writing a conclusion to what has been my best year of racing to date. After a brilliant end to 2007, winning Dusk ‘til Dawn I had big goals for the following season of racing with my 2 main goals being to win a 24hr solo race, ideally Mountain Mayhem and to defend my Dusk ‘til Dawn title.At the start of 2008 I was living in Cardiff, working as a cycle courier. What could be better than being paid to ride a bike? I was doing no specific training, just trying to add a few things into my work routine to try and improve a few parts of my riding.
