passion and experience

I am a mentor for British Cycling's Ignite Your Coaching Programme, supporting newly qualified cycling coaches. This has also given me experience working with GB Apprentice and GB Academy athletes.

As an athlete I have completed both nationally and internationally in Road Races, Time Trials, Sportives, Mountain Biking Cross Country and Stage Races.

 

This year I am taking on numerous long distance challenges both on and off road including multi-day MTB Stage Races and Bikepacking /UltraRaces.
