“I am still pushing hard for a sub-22-minute 10”

How did you get into riding?

I started riding seriously following a strange problem with my right leg which only responded to riding a bike and not much else. In addition to this, my father became very unwell due to smoking and my older brother died suddenly due to lifestyle choices he made; as a smoker for many years myself, I thought it best to quit and try to get in better shape.

How long have you been with the club?
