Early Season Race Plan: Jan - Apr 2011

Been trying to work out what to race in prep for the season ahead. The early focus of my season is the 24hr Champs starting on the 7th of May. I have to try and mix family life, training and racing. It's not easy. With my wife now working both Saturdays & Sundays I can't travel too far too often. My two girls will have fun travelling about with their Dad no doubt.
