Training is going well despite the rain, though most boys are enjoying two days rest. We had a scare this week also, Rajkuma broke the drop out on his Laiperre frame and we have been unable to find a replacement, after three days without a bike, we managed to build him a new one using a V-Ket frame donated by Biking First.......hes a happy boy again now he can train.
Bananas
Food is fuel and to be a good rider the boys need to eat a good balanced diet and fruit plays a role in that. Two dozen bananas does not go far among five hungry boys...
Disc Brakes
Raj Kumar was lucky enough to be sponsored for disc brakes for his bike. It was like Christmas for the team when the latest shipment of parts arrived from Bangkok. Aside from disc brakes we received a Shimano XTR gear set for Rajkumar to use in the Asian Games and Fox Shocks are on the way soon coming from UK.
Aayman has also been able to upgrade his bike with a new wheel set and SLX Disc Brakes thanks to sponsorship form Biking First’s good friend Suman. And this week we have also put new drive chain on Sunil’s Bike in preparation for Pokhara race.
Asian Games Registration
Very excited when Nepal Cycling Association announced registration for the Asian Games in November. Now it’s time to prepare Rajkumar for perhaps the biggest event of his young cycling life. We are working hard to secure funding and sponsorship to send Raj and also to develop a training and diet for him that will help him compete. We are very very excited for all of Nepal’s riders who will be lucky enough to compete at the games
