Cycling
I started my cycling career as a university student, riding regularly with the university club, and racing on a tandem with my father. Our Tandem racing quickly became successful, and over a few years we won many events together and broke both 12 hour and 24 hour distance records.
From this I raced solo for a few years, including winning both time trials and road races, and gaining a team gold medal in the National 24 hour Championships.
From the early 90's sport was in the background as I concentrated on my career and returned to more active cycling around 10 years later.
Returning to cycling I cycled socially for a few years, and then took up triathlon, but continued to compete on the bike as part of the triathlon training.
Over the past two years I have been competing for Equus Triathlon Club and Planet X. With this deal I have a Planet X Stealth race bike which has brought me right up to the cutting edge of cycling technology.
