Motivated & Ready To Ride

5th March 2009

Hi guys I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ben Simmons and I have been extremely lucky by being selected to represent Wiggle as the Mountain Biker for the 2009 season. I had a very quiet 2008 season due to a knee problem which is now sorted, so I am more motivated than ever to ride my bike and train this year.

So far training is going well, riding regular long steady rides to build up my endurance base and riding some nice long climbs to build up my strength which we have plenty of in South Wales. Last week I was involved in a photo shoot that will feature in Mountain Biking UK in the next couple months so watch out for that. I have a warm weather training camp in Mallorca booked for the 20th-29th March that I am looking forward to, hopefully the sun will be shining and get a solid 8 days of training with out any outside distractions.

I would like to thank Wiggle and their staff for all their help and support I have already received and am looking forward to a successful season. You will see me at national and domestic road and mountain bike races all over the country so feel free to say hello or cheer me on! The whole Wiggle team will be at the Wiggle Enduro Six and Wiggle Thunder Run 10k events in April so pop along with your family and friends because it should be a good day out even if you are not participating!

Cheers,

Ben
