YEARS RIDING
8

PRIMARY RIDE STYLE
MTB, Road and dabbling in Solo Endurance XC

FAVOURITE RIDE PLACE/ROUTE
Depends on what I am doing but normally head to Wales. I love Afan, Cmwcarn & BPW. Outside England: Pila, Finale & Morzine.  Road wise: anywhere with smooth roads.

FAVOURITE POST-RIDE FOOD/DRINK
I love Lasagna, Wine & Beer but I’m not fussy. A tea and cookie will do just fine.

BIKE NAMES
Jack, John and Jim.

CLIMB VS. DESCEND?
I enjoy both.

DREAM RIDE
Whistler, I went there for the first time this year for my honeymoon and we didn’t even touch the surface. We did a ride called Lord Of The Squirrels. It took us about 4 hours to get up to the top but the views were amazing plus the descent was about an hour which was prettyfun. Places I have never ridden but want to: Norway & Iceland. 

FULL LYCRA, Y/N?
When I have to.

DREAM RACE/EVENT
I love watching Rampage. I can’t even begin to imagine...but would love to go to Utah and watch it.

I LOVE RIDING WITH
My friends, husband and my dog, Phoebe.  

QUOTE/MOTTO
"Rubber side down "

WHY DO YOU RIDE?
I used to run a lot but my knees couldn’t hack it anymore so looked to other sports. My mother in law got into XC and when I first met her she beat me up a hill…. lets just say I didn’t like that very much. The next day I got a mountain bike…it was a terrible bike and I was an even more terrible rider. I loved learning something again in my mid 20’s and from then I was hooked.

SKILL YOU WISH YOU COULD MASTER BUT HAVEN’T (YET)
To wheelie…I simply can’t do it but I’m close….
