Guiding since: 2011

Riding, racing bikes since: After a paper round from 11 years of age, I started commuting to work at 18 then racing from late twenties.

What is it about guiding you love: Helping every ride meet their challenges, whether they’re at the front or off the back. I love seeing the sense of achievement at the end of the day and sharing a drink and stories with them.

My bikes:  I have one for every adventure. My Baum Corretto is my sentimental favourite, but my Pappillionaire pub-bike is probably my fave. I also have Cannondale CX and Road bikes and a Look Track bike.
