Next weekend I’ll be helping out at the London Cycle Show so if you’re there pop round and say hi.

Much like my brother Euan, I have been racing since a few weeks before my 7th birthday, when the promise of a Mars bar for all finishers was enough to make me want to race my little Apollo Atomic 5 around Birmingham Wheels. Now, as I enter my 22nd year of racing, I am still as enthusiastic about racing as I was back then, even without the promise of a free Mars bar at the end of each race.

Over the years I have taken part in just about every type of bike race, and ridden just about every type of bike that there is. From early ’90’s mountain bike races to this years Dalby World Cup round, Premier Calendar road races,  cyclo cross, crits, track, marathon and even a few touring trips, if you can do it on a bike, I have probably tried it!

I have been lucky enough to have a moderate degree of success in racing over the years,and have taken part in the World Marathon Championships (2006), the World Student Cycling Championships (2008) and two rounds of the mountain bike World Cup (Fort William in 2006 and Dalby in 2011).

2012 is going to be a really exciting year and I am looking forward to being part of the first Juice Lubes Team, and taking on some fresh challenges, such as a few more endurance and team events. We have a really strong team, so hopefully we will get lots of podium time this year!

Training for 2012 is already well under way. I have somehow ended up living in Southampton but working and living in Essex during the week, so I am busy exploring the lanes around Brentwood in the dark. I will get to see them in the daylight for the first time around March!

Even though we are still months away from the start of the season, I must say a big thank you to all at Juice Lubes for setting up the team and welcoming me into the team. If everything carries on the way it is now, 2012 is going to be a good year!

I have been riding bikes since I can remember and competed in my first race when I was 6. I love everything about riding bikes, the freedom, the views from the top of that hour long climb and the massive adrenaline rush coming back down the other side.

I have ridden and raced pretty much every type of bike, but mountain biking is my first and one true love. Nothing beats thrashing round the trails with a group of mates for hours on end in the sun, snow or rain.

This year I will be finishing my MSc in Physiotherapy at Brighton University and entering the world of employment (hopefully), whilst racing the National XC Series, Southern XC Series, X-Tri Offroad Triathlons and a smattering of enduros and 12/24hour team races. My first goal of the year will be the 12hour European Champs in April, the only problem is that it is the weekend before my dissertation has to be handed in, so I’m going to have to pull my finger out and finish it early, whilst getting some serious miles in.

I’m really looking forward to racing with the Juice Lube boys this year, and hopefully we can pull some big results out the bag.

Ride it like you stole it!
