Riding info:
|
I have been riding XC for 12 years,
starting my riding career in Wendover Woods after school and
weekends. As the years rolled on I started to ride more of the local
area exploring new tracks and areas to ride. Started riding a little
DH at Aston Hill before deciding that I preferred XC riding and got
into the racing scene. I have since progressed onto road bikes for
winter training a couple of years ago and have now decided to start
road racing as well.

General info:
|
I am 24 years old and at
present work for Evans Cycles in MK. When I’m not working I’m either
sleeping or out training! Apart from riding I enjoy playing
football, cricket and tennis and I am also quite keen on rock
climbing. I am a Civilian Instructor with my old Air Training Corps
Squadron (1365 Aylesbury) and I am currently applying to the RAF as
a medical support officer.
|
Favourite rides/tracks:
|
My favourite race track is
Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire because the circuits are always
packed with tight twisty sing track and races are always fast paced.
Some of my favourite riding has to be at Afan in Wales and have
recently started riding at Swinley forest in Bracknell which is like
a little piece of Afan near to home!!
