FIve Ten – Athlete Winter Catch Up – Sam Dale
Sam and his Dad have a healthy obsession for anything 2 wheels. Here he is on his Honda SL125, foot out, flat out.
A cold wintery morning, Macclesfield Forest provides Sam with his winter training ground.
2011 didn’t go as planned in some ways for him. When things change mid-season it’s not good for the mind of a Professional racer.
Macc Forest, Sam’s local training ground, where he’ll be working on things, to come back firing for the up-coming season.
Being a privateer has its benefits. Plan each day as it comes and enjoy some quality time at home.
The following day Sam was heading to a Moto Trial. Here, he uses a tech hill climb as a descent. You may recognize this from the latest issue of a certain magazine…
Flat pedal power. Sam Dale chooses to ride flats 9/10, swapping to clipless when he feels he needs it.
t’s not that grim up North, honest.
