Week 38 – 15 Weeks Count Down
Gary and Philip are stepping up the training as the final months draw in to the Dakar 2008. Gary has increased his resistance training from 2-3 days a week with a trainer as has Philip. Philip was in Italy for the week training at high altitude with a twin cyclinder machine . Gary meanwhile was testing his 4 stroke KTM in the Dublin mountains. Philip’s Rally bike is due for completion next week and he will then be running it in on a closed trail track in the UK before servicing it and sending it down to Morocco for Part II of the Rally training program. The excitement builds……
