Hello everyone,
Just thought I would drop a quick update and fill you up to date about what has been happening over the last couple of weeks.
Training has been well putting in some long rides over the last couple of weeks. 5-6hour days which has been good for my condition. I felt well and truely back at my best as I headed away to France for a 4 day tour. However I guess it wasn't meant to be as my foot gradually got worse over the days and by the 3rd stage it was an unbearable pain which led to me abandoning the race.
From here I am working out what to do next. The new shoes don't seem to be helping all that much and I am booked in to see the specialist on the 28/08 which will consist of analysis and custom soles/shoes. SO for the next 2 weeks i'll just be trying to deal with it as best I can and hopefully it just comes right. I race again next Wednesday at overijse, a UCI 1.1 ranked race.
Will keep you updated with proceedings as they come.

The last month
The last month has flown by, between racing, foot appointments and training there hasn't been time do much else.
After Romsee I got tendonitis in my foot, so have had to change shoes/pedals, and have a fair bit of work done on it.
Between this, racing every 2nd or 3rd day, add to that a day day tour and thats the last months in a nutshell.
Races have been fairly average, I had 4 falls in 5 stages at the Tour of Liege, Nothing serious, but by the end of the tour I was pretty over it.
I'm coming right though, have a tour in 10 days time in france, which i'm looking forward to. With racing so much I didn't have time to put in the long rides. I couldn't get anything over 3 hours in, so at the moment, i'm just putting miles into my legs.
Also, a couple of months ago I got the domain for www.ryan-wills.com, and have been trying to get that up and running. hopefully it's up soon, will let you know.
So as you can see, I have been super busy. I will try and get up some pics and another post before I head off to the tour.
Sorry this has been short but I can't really elaborate on the races as they are not worth the time they take to read. Generally it's just rained for the races, start ride and see what happens.
Will keep you updated, hopefully over all injuries for the rest of the year.
Until next time,
Ryan
