What background….. I was useless at sport as a kid! I got told off by Doctor who said I should be exercising more I took him seriously and tried cycling. After a false start I was encouraged by my neighbour to get back on the bike. The rest has been all CP’s fault.
What is your favourite event/or training mission so far?

When you have ridden Le Race you really know you’ve achieved something. Sundays always bring something different Brett (and Richard) just seems to have the knack of pushing you far enough but not too far

Summit Road particularly up the B*****d

No one really but after joining CP there are plenty of very good riders who just inspire you by their help and encouragement

Do you have an inspirational quote that you would like to share?
There are two types of people in life. Those who are going to, and those who have done it. It’s better to be in the ‘Done It” camp.
You’re better at this than you realise. [R Greer April 2016] I think that was the quote although I was breathing rather heavily after trying (and succeeding) to keep up with him
What is your favourite recovery food?
Reta’s Energy Balls. Beer, Chips in that order.
Any other comments?
CP has made my lovely wife a cycling widow. but she still encourages me, always. As long as I have her support I can’t see me giving this up, although I might try other disciplines at some stage.
