Bio
(Click on the photo for more)
Started riding mountain bikes back in the late eighties, but purely recreationally, and generally alone. Finally managed to convince my good friend Mark to join me, and riding began to be a little more sociable, as we were joined by Andy and Tony, then Malcolm, Gideon, Dan and later, Mike.
First Race: 2006, Helley Hansen Adventure Series, entered as a team of three with Malcolm and Dan. Competition consisted of cross country running, off road riding, kayaking and mystery discipline, we achieved a remarkable 4th place.
Suitably enthused we carried on entering a variety of events on a casual team basis.
Best Result: 2007, Cheddar Bikefest, Dan, Mike and I won whilst competing as a team of three, the category was for fours, but we were a man down and decided to press on anyway.
Currently competing as part of Team Wildside, entering a variety of events, from cross country cycling, on and off road duathlons, the occasional adventure race, and 24 hour endurance mountain bike races.
