HARRY Lewis has set his sights on conquering the team at League Two’s summit after scaling the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge.

Mark Hughes gave the City squad an extended weekend off to clear their heads as they prepare for tomorrow’s trip to leaders Leyton Orient.

Lewis packed in a karaoke session with a few team-mates and then got away from it all by trudging the 24-mile trail covering Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent.

“It was about pressing the reset button,” said the keeper, who completed the gruelling route in an impressive seven hours 44 minutes.

“I listened to my favourite audio book, Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey, front to back and spent a bit of time with nature.

“I was racing against sunlight a bit and probably saw only four people the whole time.”

Lewis, the only player to have featured in every minute of the season so far, admitted the break was a good chance to let off steam after the losses to Northampton and Salford.

“The gaffer recognised that it was a better idea to give us a bit of time to press the reset button rather than to punish us.

“He could easily have kept us in after two disappointing results. For me, he made the right decision.

“I had a few beers but I work really hard. I’d like to think I’m a good professional, I eat properly every day, sleep well and I’m very routine in the week and on game day.

“There are certain things I don’t do because I’ve got a game on a Saturday and this is the most important thing in the world.

“It was nice to have a couple of days where I could take a break from being that guy, go out and have a few beers and stay up late.

“Not everyone is super professional and asleep by 10.30 every night but that’s how I need to do this job to get the best out of myself.”

Lewis belted out his own version of Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams in the impromptu singalong night out last week - but admitted Luke Hendrie stole the show with his Freddie Mercury rendition.

“It would have been nice to have had every single member of the squad out on the Thursday night but unfortunately there are always family commitments,” he said. “But I wouldn’t want to have heard some of them sing!

“The general consensus is that we all get on very well. We work hard when there’s work to be done but you’ve got to get the balance right.

“The team bonding is vital. Youngy (Jake Young) was obviously at Forest Green last year and he said that was a big part of why they won the league.

“When I was coming here, I wanted to be there whenever the team were doing something. I want to be involved in everything.”

Lewis is likely to be in the thick of things against a Leyton Orient side, who have failed to score just once in 11 home games in all competitions this season and boast a five-point lead at the top.

City are coming off that painful home loss to Northampton last time out in the league. But given the fantastic away run, that has seen them pick up 19 points from the last possible 21, Lewis is convinced they can make capital gains in London.

“Maybe I’m biased but I genuinely believe we’re the best team in the league,” he added.

“It’s up to us to go and play with that bullish attitude of ‘you might be higher than us right now but we’ve got better players and we’re a better team.

“You see teams coming to Valley Parade who want to ruin our day. It would be great if we could ruin someone else’s day like that.

“Our away record is very good and if we win at Leyton Orient, that’s a big statement from us. Our home form still needs addressing but we’re very good away from home.

“We certainly shouldn’t be scared of them because they are having a good season and are top of the league.”
