Q&A

Who or what inspired you to take up cycling?

My dad. He would always head out for early morning rides when I was growing up and I wanted to be just like him.

What was your first race and where did you finish?

Back as a 2nd year u13, I raced my first local club handicap. I was given an awesome handicap and won.

When did you realise you were good at riding a bike?

2 key moments in my time as a cyclist would be when I came 2nd at the u17 national time trial and 2nd at the Oceania RR as a 1st year u19. I'd always been there, but was never getting results, so both these races meant alot and helped me in pursuing the sport of cycling.
