Specialised Stumpjumper Comp with a few Hope bits chucked on for good measure.

Merida Speeder T2 for the roads and touring

Dawes Switchback Tandem...just for fun with the missus   

 

Fave snack   

Cakes. Holden Wood, Helmshore have some of the best at the minute.

 

What’s in the Camel Back?

Apple Juice

 

Tea or Coffee

Latte. Just to wind up the true ‘Northern Blokes’ that come riding.

 

Warm Beer or Cold Lager?

Guinness. Or most of Fallons’ Dark Ales

 

Favourite Trails:

Les Gets. It’s got it all. Good trails, bike lifts, sunshine, good cafes, great scenery, good looking girls on bikes....oh and Gisburn ain’t bad too.

 

Best Achievement to Date on a bike

Recently. 230 miles in one 24 hour bash from Stirling back to Darwen Bus Station....and why not indeed.

 

Years riding  

Got on a bike aged 11 and haven’t stopped since....

...except to go to the loo ...(B4 any smartassses get in with that one)

 

Greatest riding inspirations.  

Lance. Just an inspiring story and seeing him in the flesh last year was worth the effort.
