MTB
This is where it all started for me back in 1992 racing for fun for a local shop in the Sport Age and NEMBA race series spent 4 year racing around the north of England with a little success in the sport category but no wins.
Road Racing
Spent 1996 moving from MTB to Road Racing, over the following 4 years I moved my way up the categories taking wins in the Sloan Trophy (1997) and Beaumont Trophy (1998) up until an injury half way through the 1999 season stopped everything. I came back in 2000 but had a really bad year so decided to call it a day.
Triathlon
After 4 years trying to kill my self with over eating, drinking and going mad on a motor bike (which I still some times do) I decided to join a gym in August 2004. There I met a bit of a nutter who was going to do the first uk Ironman in 2005. “You should give it a go” he said…….
