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.

Studying, working or full time cyclist?

Working as a registered nurse
