Hi all

I took a step back last Sunday and went on my 125cc machine to get my confidence up to my normal level. Today I rode at Sittingbourne on my 250 against Adam Portwood and was progressing as the day went on and hopefully I am improving each week.
Best wishes.

I was riding at Rye House on Saturday the 21st where I had four second half rides on my own getting use to the track and I did really well but had to stop in my fourth ride because my wrist started aching. Also, George & Linda Barclay introduced me to Mrs Peter Craven which was great.
All the best

I would like to thank my fans for supporting me throughout my injury  & would like to say thanks to Steve and Sandra Gibbons, all the Arena riders, the Arena Management, Roger, Dave Hood and Karen Chappell for all their support throughout the season and a special thanks to Ben Read & Nick Lanham for helping me out by spannering for me.

Just an update; I was on the gate at Arena Last night with Ronnie and Henning and was overjoyed at the support and well wishes from the supporters and I look forward to performing in front of them again, it was also great of Mikeal Max to take me round on the parade lap before the meeting. I would like to say as well that I will not be attending Arena Essex vs Eastbourne on the 22nd September due to a prior commitment, I will be at the Polish Grand Prix, but I will be back for our last meeting against Oxford on the 29th September.

Rhys returned home last night after his operation to pin his broken wrist was carried out. The wrist is still painful but all things being equal Rhys will be at Arena next Wednesday for the clash with Belle Vue (minus his bike of course). The plaster needs to remain on for approximately six weeks at which time he may then need another cast put on. We will keep you updated here with his progress.

Rhys fell during his mascot duties this evening before the meeting with Peterborough. It is ironic that Arena have suffered so many injuries this year and now even their official mascot is on the sidelines with a broken wrist. Rhys was taken to Basildon hospital for treatment after the accident on the second bend and will have an operation on Saturday to repair the growth plate bone in his wrist (by being pinned). We all wish him well for a speedy recovery.

Intro
My Name Rhys Naylor - I first started riding a Speedway bike at the beginning of December 2005 at Sittingbourne on a 125cc Honda in a Jawa Frame (not Lay down). I am an Arena Essex fan and after trying Speedway out found it really exciting and decided that I wanted to be part of a Team. I phoned Ronnie Russell myself and asked to be Mascot for the Hammers. I have continued my learning on the Sittingbourne track and have also visited Scunthorpe. I now have a Jawa 250 which I found a little bit different from my tame 125, I tried it out at Eastbourne in June and ended up a little bit worse for wear.
