Jeremy Vennell (born 6 October 1980) is a former professional racing cyclist from New Zealand. (wikipedia)
A former games boxer I met in the pub the other day said if you ever get the opportunity go to it because it's better than the Olympics.
It'll be hard telling all the people who have supported me all the way.
I'm happy with finishing second overall but disappointed because I wanted to win this one - it was a local race.
Just for one moment I did think about missing out. It was very dangerous with the weather, so I just kept my mind on the job.
