I started racing competitively in 2006 and with virtually no experience in endurance sports, I was surprised to see that pretty soon I was getting good results and progressing up the catorgories. In 2007, I comfortably gained my 1st Cat licence with a handful of regional wins and some high placings in the South East Series and a regular top three finisher at Crystal Palace.

I also competed in a couple of local TTs, breaking event records along the way. I then went on to finish fourth in the British Time Trial Chamionships, one minute ahead of Rob Hayles.

Training the following winter with Brian Blease, a good friend and personal coach, I developed specific techniques and set myself up for a win in my first race of the season in February '08. Then, due to a dramatic change in personal circumstances, a move to Bristol, a new family and a new job, I have since taken a year off racing. However, I'm still training and planning to ride the National 10, 25 and of course the BTTC, when I hope to step up on to the podium!
