Hello and welcome to my blog for 2013. I will post regular updates on my racing, training, and other interesting things on here and my twitter page @jamesjosephking

Firstly I have signed for a new team for the 2013 season, Sportscover Cycling Team under the guidance of Mark Barry and Ashley Brown. The team is made up of 5 seniors and 4 juniors. My fellow junior team mates are Ollie Wood, Jake Womersley, and Jacob Scott. I'm really looking forward to the up coming season, and feel very fortunate to be able to use the kit provided by the numerous sponsors. www.teamsportscover.com Here is a quick video of the team, http://youtu.be/BGRYK6MlYAM





My first race will be the Trader's Cup in Dundalk on Feburary 24th, following the next Irish Junior Development Squad camp. The first race with the whole team will be the Eddie Soens the following week. The next big event will be the first round of the Junior National Series in Abergavenny, Cadence. I was 5th here last year and I'm looking to improve on last year's result. 




A bit about me; I was born in Dublin and grew up in Lucan. I now live in Richmond North Yorkshire and I am studying Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Further Maths at college. I started cycling around two and a half years ago and raced my first complete season last year (2012). I have had some success in my 2 years racing, 2nd in the Irish National U16 Road Race Champs, top 5 on two occasions in National Junior Series rounds, top 10 on 3 occasions in NJS rounds, Regional Criterium Champion 2012, top 10s in Holland/Belgium, and a few wins last season. I was also 6th in the National Junior Road Race Champs 2012. 


Thanks to all of the sponsors for providing me with the opportunities for the coming season and everyone at Team Sportscover.

That's a bit about me, thanks for reading.
