|---|---|
| Day job | Postman |
| Favourite bike | Giant Trinity Advanced SL - by far the fastet bike I've ever ridden |
| Favourite ride | Over Charnwood Forest - it's a great ride, plenty of descents and rolling roads, the ideal place to push your bike and body to the limit |
| Must have cycling accessory | Powermeter |
| Other sports | None - with three children to look after my time is pretty much taken |
| Why I ride | Cycling is a great sport to be involved in whether you're wanting to be Olympic Champion or just ride for pleasure. There's nothing better then getting fresh air into your lungs and pushing yourself, or just taking in the countryside. I''ve ridden since age 12, and have no plans of ever stopping! |
