World CycloCross Championship Update

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick update to let you know how the World Cyclcross Championships went.

I rode as hard as I could, but was a little disappointed to finish 35th. The course was incredibly tough work – we basically rode on sand for 40 minutes. In the first lap I was sitting in the top 30, but as the sand got harder to ride through, the fatigue set in and my legs were dead by the end.

It was an incredible experience – we had 50,000 people watching us and at times I started feeling like a celebrity with complete strangers asking me for fan cards and my autograph! I think it has something to do with being a Kiwi in unfamiliar territory.

Thanks again to all of you for your assistance with this race, especially to DMT for your support with the my fabulous new DMT racing shoes. I am almost certain they are the reason I got off the start line so well!

From here I can have a little bit of downtime, before flying out to France in 2 weeks time for my road team presentation and then it’s straight on to the road racing come March.

We continue to support Gen and wish her well in the forthcoming road racing season.

Gen to ride for NZ in World Cyclocross Championships

It has been to date my most successful racing year ever and this was all helped massively by contributions in so many shapes and forms with sponsorship.

I made history to be New Zealand’s first ever female competitor at the World Cyclocross Championships, I gained a top 25 finish in UCI 1.1 event and was shortlisted for the New Zealand team for the World Road Championships – the only major disappointment was not making the team, but hardly anyone did, with only one female rider selected.

The great news behind all of this as that I’ve been selected to represent New Zealand at the World Cyclocross Championships in 1.5 weeks time in Belgium and I’ve signed a contract with a UCI French road team ASPTT DIJON for 2012. This is definitely the biggest opportunity to fall in my lap in a long time and it gives me the chance to race the road world cups and a lot of top level UCI tours that you can’t access unless you’re part of a UCI team.

I would just like to say…

I would just like to say how pleased I am with this product. We were on holiday in Torquay with a coach company. The driver was telling us all about Dog Oil and how good it was since he had fallen and damaged his knee (apparently a passenger on the coach had recommended it to him the year before).

Nobody on the coach had heard of Dog Oil but the next day several people had been to the Health Shop and bought some! Shortly after our holiday I had been picking up and carrying heavy boxes and developed pain in my arm. After 3 months, the pain was no better and I happened to see some Dog Oil on our local market and bought one. After only using this for one week my arm is almost better. My daughter who was in a car accident over 5 years ago, still suffers with pain in her shoulder – I am going to get some for her and hope it works! Trisha

Ingleton Folk Festival 2011 – Comic Song Competition

We were happy to take part in the judging and sponsoring of this competition which encourages singer/songwriters to produce new songs to make us laugh. The winner this year was Andy Hill, The Bard of Earby, and his rendition of “Slap and Tickle” can be seen on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzzFoqz30PM

Just a note to say how very pleased I am

Jusy a note to say how very pleased I am with your ‘Dog Oil’ ointment. I have spent pounds on other dearer products but yours have done wonders for me. Thanks again,

Gen Whitson cycling update

Hi everyone,

Just another quick racing update for my 2011 road season.

Well this year has been a total stormer. I’ve been racing in Holland, Belgium and the USA. The Europe racing has been really tough, with fields of up to 180 women and just finishing many of these races seems to be accomplishment. I finally managed my goal of a top 50 finish in a UCI European race 1.5 weeks ago in the Dwars Door De Westhoek classic, placing 47th. Typical Belgium racing conditions of wind, rain and more wind…

In the States I managed a couple of top 15/25 finishes at National calendar events,  but the highlight of the season was getting in a breakaway with the World Road Champion Georgia Bronzini and 7 other riders in Stage 5 of the Nature Valley Tour – it didn’t last, but it was very exciting for a while!

Thanks again for all the assistance I recieved from all of you with sponsorship/support that helps  me go faster on the bike. Things are definitely heading in the right direction.

Hope to catch up with some of you in the UK in the next month or so, before I embark on the cyclocross season.

Cheers,
Gen

PS. If I make Road World Championships in Denmark in September, I’ll keep you posted.

Satisfied customer

I suffered with terrible aching sore heavy bruised- feeling joints; I am clocking on forty and my grandmother gave me a tub of Masons Dog Oil last year, I will never use anything else ever again, it’s fantastic and it also helps with dry skin on my hands…10 out of 10 for dog oil …

Recommendation from Alberta

I went into Holland and Barrett to buy something for a sore back and the assistant suggested Dog Oil. I was not at all sure, but I did buy and the results are fantastic! Recently, I had a very painful tummy (a pulled muscle or something) and being sure that it was not an internal problem I rubbed some dog oil on the area and the results are unbelievable. I was still sceptical you see, but after four days the pain is almost gone. There was an improvement after one day. I now use it on my shoulder as well – I garden a lot – the product is simply magical. I have recomended when possible. Best wishes Alberta B.
