Just a quick update. I arrived back in NZ on Thursday after a 25 hr flight. It's really good to
be home, there's no place like it.
I'm looking forward to getting in some nice X country races and do a few MXs
as well. Our tracks and the terrain we use in NZ are second to none.
The riders in Europe would be blown away by our 30min + laps in X countrys and the quality of the land we use. We don't know how good we have got it here in NZ.
Starting to get over jet lag and begining to get into a regular training programme again. I am looking forward to hooking up with the MNZ High Performace Training Programe. Justin and Nick were a big part of my success this year and I want to build on this again. Also training with all the other members of the programe is great fun and helps to push yourself to new levels.
Scotty Brooker who has been helping me in the WEC races this year is also
due home in the next few weeks. He's going to Las Vagas with David Knight to
help David at an indoor enduro on the way home. I have to say a big thanks to
Scotty for his work this year under some pretty tough conditions. "Thanks
mate".
Katherine my girlfriend has been another big help, actually without her
help it would not have been possible.
Some of you may have heard rumours about what bike I'm riding next year.
Well
its now official.I have signed with Gas Gas for 2005 season. I will be
riding a factory EC 250(two stroke). The factory will support me at the WEC, while in
the UK the Gas Gas importer will supply service and support for me at the
British Enduro champs and the Fast Eddys.
Ian and the boys at Triumph NZ (Gas Gas NZ) will help me out with bikes while I'm home.
So everything is good. See you at the races.
Paul.
