Outside Work & Cycling
I have a personal interest in sports psychology and dietary requirements to compete at the highest levels.
My personal goal with young riders is to develop cyclist for life and to help and support them in acquiring their potential. My sessions have a progressive focus and designed to be fun. This I believe will provide the motivation to get the miles in to meet their goals.
