Guess Who's Back


Monty's back. This blog is back. Maybe we'll change the name. Life Behind Bars was pretty cool in 2012; kind of like Eminem and rad memes with everything, but hey;



This is just to say that I'm still alive. Most of you will know that from various Facebook and Twittering. I joined the Continental team Team 3M at the start of the year and have been racing (mostly) on the road since.
Now; now it's time to get down and dirty in the Cross season. Super dooper excited. So excited I'll do this more in single sentences than a paragraph.

I'll be riding offroad for Chain Reaction Cycles - Vitus Bikes again in 2015/2016.
My season will be starting with the Ulster CX League in Lurgan Park at the start of October. It's not quite Las Vegas, but it'll do.
I have plans to get to the homeland of Cyclocross in Belgium for a stint in November, along with returning for #Crossmas in late December/January, with a view to racing World Championships in Heusden Zolder in Belgium on 31st Jan!
Hopefully we'll get a British National Trophy round or two in as well. I'd gladly drive a van over for anyone else that's keen; but we'd need sponsorship from a bank for rent-a-van insurance for a 20 year old. If anyone else is keen, or owns a bank; get in touch!

Thanks to The Belgian Project for helping out with sorting some accommodation for Belgian adventures.

With a fairly deadly season's riding/racing/raking lined up, I'll be updating the blog a whole lot more.

For now here's a picture of this year's #1 steed in it's stock guise. Pretty nice eh!


If you see the CRC jersey or Irish champion's kit around, don't be afraid to say hi!

To be continued fairly soon,
Monty out!
